Chapter 46: The Emperor faints
As soon as Concubine Lian received the good news from the chief eunuch An Luqi, she immediately set off with the ginseng soup that had been prepared long ago.
Mama Rong supported Concubine Lian Niangniang, turned around and urged the little eunuch who followed behind, and said in a loud voice: "Little Lizi, hurry up and keep up, if the emperor drives to the East Palace, it will be in vain to waste Niangniang's thoughts." ”
Agreed, Xiao Lizi followed behind with difficulty with a Nanmu food box, not only was it heavy, but he didn't dare to take too big a step, lest he splash out the carefully prepared ginseng soup, and then he would not let Concubine Lian Niangniang pick his skin?
Xiao Lizi then raised his arms high, took small steps, and followed closely at a trot, he wondered, how could this mother, who usually walks like a weak willow supporting the wind, walk so fast today!
While speaking, Concubine Lian and her entourage soon came to the door of the imperial study, and saw the imperial guard Xiao Jian standing solemnly on the side of the door, An Luqi with a large group of palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside, the majestic Emperor Luan has already been prepared, it seems that he may set off at any time, and he will go to the East Palace of the Queen Mother tonight!
"Concubine Lian has arrived!" Mama Rong sang loudly, she was sounding the gong for her master.
"The slave sees Concubine Lian, Concubine Lian is auspicious!"
"Subordinates see Concubine Lian, Concubine Lian is auspicious!"
Regardless of the fatigue of walking all the way, Concubine Lian was afraid of smearing the heavy makeup on her face, so she gently dipped her handkerchief into the fine sweat on her forehead, raised her feet lightly, walked slowly, and took out a pretentious appearance again, smiled and said delicately: "Everyone is flat!" Father-in-law An is also here, the palace sent ginseng soup to the emperor, and he was tired of spreading it for the palace. ”
When Concubine Lian was favored, when did she say so low? Now that she wants to see the emperor, she actually has to bribe a eunuch, how can she be embarrassed?
After seeing the ceremony, An Luqi pretended to be unaware and replied: "The emperor is reviewing the chapter in the imperial study, Concubine Lian will wait for a while, and the slave will go back to the saint!" ”
"There's Lao An's father-in-law!" Concubine Lian and Mama Rong politely sighed, and then exchanged glances with Mama Rong beside her, and said in her heart that she had finally pinched the time, even if the emperor didn't want to go to the Ying Ancestral Palace, he had no reason not to see him, right?
After reading the last recital, Cang Linchen stretched his waist tiredly, thinking that he would be able to see Xia Yinhuan soon, a smile immediately appeared on his cold face, and he said to the attendant eunuch Yuan Xiang beside him: "I will go to the East Palace for dinner tonight, and leave immediately." ”
"The minion is going out to spread the word!"
Before Yuan Xiang's words fell, An Luqi came in, told Concubine Lian Niangniang about waiting outside the door, and then bowed down to ask the emperor if he could meet him.
Cang Linchen was unhappy in his heart, the smile on his face immediately froze on his face, after a busy day, he really wanted to see the queen immediately, he still had a lot of things to discuss with her, this Concubine Lian came at a bad time, right?
Seeing that the emperor was silent, his face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, An Luqi immediately saw the wind and rudder, and said in a sharp voice: "Then I will refuse Concubine Lian Niangniang and let her go back to the palace." As he spoke, he went out, he was bribed by Concubine Lian again, but he couldn't burn his cotton jacket because of lice, hold his position first, if he An Luqi was not the chief eunuch, would Jing'er still follow him?
"Wait! Let Concubine Lian come in and see me. ”
It is said that a husband and wife are a hundred days, not to mention that he and Lianxin's childhood sweetheart, the two grew up together without guessing, even if they are disgusted, there is no real evidence after all, and now she asks to see her at the door of the imperial study, Cang Linchen's heart softly agreed, and secretly thought that after meeting with Concubine Lian, it was not too late to go to the East Palace to see Xia Yinhuan.
"Slaves obey!" An Luqi's face suddenly turned happy, his long thin donkey face immediately shortened by three points, straightened his waist and shouted loudly: "The emperor Xuanlian Concubine Niangniang's imperial study is here!" The heart said that she had finally fulfilled her mission and repaid Concubine Lian's favor, and Jing'er's little girl would be willing to serve her.
The lotus heart who has been waiting outside the imperial study, her heart is like frying, she didn't wait for a moment to suffer for a while, and now she heard the emperor announce that she had entered, she was naturally overjoyed, and a group of accompanying Rong Mama looked at her heartily, and walked inside, her eyelids actually flashed with tears, and the emperor still had her lotus heart in her heart!
Rong Mama was like a hundred claws scratching her heart just now, and the apprehension in her heart was no less than that of Concubine Lian, because Daqing Guo had ancestral training, that is, the inner palace was not allowed to interfere in politics, and the emperor's imperial study was originally a place to review and receive loyal ministers to discuss military affairs, and Concubine Lian, as a harem concubine, could not step into the imperial study for half a step, and now she can get the emperor's permission, it is really a great emperor's grace!
After Concubine Lian walked into the imperial study, Mama Rong and Xiao Lizi were blocked outside, and the Nanmu food box was also taken over by the emperor's attendant eunuch Yuan Xiang, the emperor's three meals a day and daily life, all of which he served, and the dim sum and ginseng soup brought by Concubine Lian, if you want to enter the emperor's mouth, you must pass the pass of Yuanxiang eunuch.
Concubine Lotus finally got her wish to see the face of the sky, naturally she was very excited, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, the weak willow helped the wind to ask for warmth, and asked the emperor for blessings intimately, and finally said the purpose of her coming: "The emperor works hard for the country, works hard, the lotus heart is very worried, I don't hear the holy for a moment, the concubine can't sleep and eat every day, tonight I specially prepare a lotus seed and lotus leaf peach cake that you love to eat on weekdays, a cup of thousand-year-old ginseng soup, let the emperor nourish the Holy Body!" ”
Cang Linchen's heart was warm, Lianxin has always been his beloved, and now his words are sincere and diligent, which made him very moved for a while, and he felt inexplicably guilty for neglecting her for several days, and comforted her: "The concubine has a heart!" I hiked in southern Xinjiang some time ago, which caused a lot of accumulation of state affairs, and I really couldn't spare time to visit, which made Concubine Ai worried! ”
Hearing Cang Rinchen's heartfelt words, Concubine Lian was really overjoyed, it seems that she is not out of favor, but she is too hearty! It seems that the emperor still has his own in his heart, so he got carried away for a while, and came to him coquettishly, and said: "Let the concubines serve the emperor in person, come, take a sip of ginseng soup first!" ”
At this moment, the attendant eunuch Yuan Xiang had already tested the poison with a silver needle, and tried it himself, and when he heard the call of Concubine Lian, he hurriedly sent the dim sum and ginseng soup.
Concubine Lian used her soft and boneless body to stick to the emperor's body as if nothing, unscrupulously seduced him, and brought the ginseng soup to Cang Linchen's mouth, looking at her man with affection in her eyes, hoping that he could drink it, and it would not be considered a touch of her lotus heart.
An Luqi and Yuan Xiang hurriedly turned their heads away with interest, bowed their heads and avoided with bated breath, the emperor and Concubine Lian flirted, although they can't be regarded as men, they will not be indifferent, how can they be regarded as living people, right? In addition, the eunuchs around the emperor are afraid of the dust, lest a look that is wrong will provoke this big boss, and at least he will not be able to eat and walk around, or he will move his head and connect the nine clans.
Cang Rinchen's face was stunned, and he resisted for a while in his heart, thinking of the various performances of the woman next to him in Southern Xinjiang, he glanced at her in disgust, and involuntarily ducked back! They are a young couple, and they are still like glue, not to mention feeding him with ginseng soup like now, even if they feed each other with their mouths, but today I don't know what's wrong, he is so disgusted in his heart.
Concubine Lian's softness paused in the air, she was too familiar with the emperor's every move, smile and smile, so familiar that she could rely on his breath and eyes to understand Cang Linchen's heart, and now he had a disgusted look, Concubine Lian's hot heart, suddenly became cold, the smile on her face froze, and the ginseng soup she was holding also stagnated in the air.
Who is Cang Rinchen? Seeing Concubine Lian's reaction, he immediately repented of his behavior, he quickly pretended to be smiling, reached out to take the ginseng soup in Concubine Lian's hand, and said, "Concubine Ai has a heart!" I'll just come by myself. ”
After saying this, the emperor served a fine white bone china cup full of ginseng soup, lightly opened his lips, drank the ginseng soup in one go, and then dipped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "I have also drunk the ginseng soup of the concubine, and I have received your wishes, it is getting late, and I still have some twists and turns that need to be reviewed, please go back to the palace and rest early!" I'll see you when I'm done for a while. ”
Concubine Lian was stunned when she heard this, Cang Linchen drank the ginseng soup so happily, it turned out that she wanted her to leave the imperial study quickly! I came here with a careful dress tonight, just the makeup on my face, the hairstyle on the green silk, and her pink light gauze embroidered silk skirt, just saying that she won back the emperor's heart in one fell swoop, how could he have treated himself like this!?
A little face suddenly lost her face, tonight this was carefully prepared by her lotus heart, and she paid such a big price, should she exchange it for the emperor's sentence?
Concubine Lian didn't care about the word shame, let alone disobedience against the emperor, not to mention that her lotus heart has always been used to being favored by Cang Rinchen in the harem, and it is natural to be pampered and arrogant, if she loses tonight, she doesn't know what year and month she will wait until she can be favored, and she pulled down her face and said: "Instead of going back to the palace to worry about the emperor, it is better to accompany you, just wait for the review to be completed, and the concubine will welcome the emperor to the Ying Ancestral Palace to sleep." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Concubine Lian herself was startled, but even An Luqi and Yuan Xiang, who were bowing their heads and holding their breath next to them, were frightened, the ancestral family law is trained, and it is rare for this harem concubine to enter the imperial study, and now Concubine Lian actually dares to propose to accompany the king to accompany the chauffeur to review the chapter? ! Is she dying? The two of them opened their mouths wide and looked at the emperor in a daze, just waiting for the anger of the dust!
But who would have expected that the emperor not only did not have a thunderbolt, but also didn't even say a word, quietly scary, Concubine Lian suddenly screamed, no wonder Cang Linchen didn't say a word, he actually fainted with a sallow face, and his body was pressed against Concubine Lian next to him, motionless!
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The three people in the study were all stunned and screamed in unison.
Concubine Lian looked at the emperor who fainted in her arms, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't make a noise!" Father-in-law An, go and ask for a doctor! ”
An Luqi's donkey face was longer, and his legs trembled like thin hemp straw, and he hurriedly agreed and went out, and went to the doctor in a panic.
The two people in the panic, no one noticed Yuan Xiang's actions, he ran out in a flash, because he knew that only the queen mother could save the emperor, and only he knew the details of the queen's sleep for four consecutive days.
