Chapter 168: Chasing Favors
The gossip in the court began to prevail after the emperor's whereabouts were unknown, and it was not until the news of the safety of the holy car was sent in an urgent manner for 800 li that it subsided, but now this interesting scene has provoked more and more discussion in the court.
Some people are rumored to be 'colorful', saying that this 'girl' is charming and how to ascend to the sky in one step, and some people are well-informed, and they know a little about the discord between the emperor and the queen, so they are more and more filled with oil and vinegar, and under the false rumors, there are even rumors in the market that the emperor has a new love.
In the Zhaoyang Palace
"Niangniang, you just let this fly up the branches and be proud?"
Lin'er pulled a bun for the queen, took two steps back and looked at it, with a satisfied smile on her face, but then, she remembered the rumors just now, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the queen.
The queen sighed deeply, her eyes flashed, and she was restrained and amazed, "Long live like her, what can I do?" ”
"Then you should also deal with it according to the palace rules---- she is a little 'servant' and 'girl', and she actually lives in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, which is inevitably inconsistent with etiquette."
Lin'er was still indignant.
The queen shook her head slightly, "This is indeed not in accordance with the etiquette law, but if I go to say it now, it can only backfire." ”
She paused for a moment, looking at her condensed and delicate 'jade' face in the mirror, and her voice was also a little sad, "He has a lot of misunderstandings about me now, and if he cares about this matter now, it will only provoke him to be thunderous, but it will make a lot of trouble in the palace, and he has no face." ”
Her voice became softer and softer, and under the slight trembling of her shoulders, she only heard a clanging sound, and the emerald hairpins fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Lin'er hurriedly pleaded guilty. .@K@." The slave is clumsy, and she didn't 'plug' well, so please forgive her sins. ”
But the queen ignored it. Lying on the desk, slowly, a line of tears condensed in her phoenix eyes.
"...... What's wrong with you... Lin'er was suddenly frightened. The queen has always been calm and proud, even if it is a big thing. I had never seen her so embarrassed, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's all the slave's fault, let's go out and receive the punishment, don't be so sad." ”
The queen bit her lip, tears in her eyes. looks sad and weak, and she looks like two people who are decisive in her usual life.
She slowly stopped sobbing, and stared at the shattered hairpin on the ground, "Sure enough, it's still broken......
Lin'er became more and more frightened, but when she saw that the queen seemed to be unable to see her, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the void of the caisson land.
"This is the hairpin that Banzai gave me before, when my family was rich and rivaled the country, what did I want? But I think it's a treasure. Wear it all the time. Now, it's finally broken......"
Her eyes were almost glazed, staring blankly into the void. It seems to be talking to Lin'er, and it seems to be talking to herself.
"The hairpin is broken. and his heart departed from me. I worked hard. That's what you get...... God, you've been so good to me! ”
She sobbed and sneered. The voice was not loud, but it was almost poignant, Lin'er was listening, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
"It's finally here......"
The queen sighed lightly, closed her eyes, and was silent for a long time, and when she opened it again, she was as cold as a cold star, "You get up...... Go and change a set of head jewelry......"
"Mother's ......"
Lin'er didn't react for a while, thinking that the queen was sad and emotionally disturbed.
The queen was calm and tranquil, and the deepest part of her black pupils exuded a strong light that made people tremble----
"Go and get that phoenix and Dongzhu nine strands to shake it...... There's a little party reunion tonight, and I'm going to wear it more festively. After the queen finished speaking, she actually smiled slightly, and her white porcelain-like skin, I don't know if it was because of anger or something else, showed a crimson halo.
The evening was supposed to be a small banquet, the emperor returned from the palace, and he did not see the palace for many days. But before the beginning of the day, all the ladies and sisters have arrived at the back hall of the Qianqing Palace, and each of them has different 'colors', a few of them are kind, and they also gathered together to whisper 'private' words, and between the conversations, they repeatedly cast their eyes on the queen's empty high seat, and whispered with their own thoughts.
After a while, Concubine Yun Xian and Xu Yinghua also arrived at the 'door', and everyone saw her arrive, knowing that she was not on good terms with the queens, and everyone was silent.
Concubine Xian is still plain and elegant today, only wearing a jade ring hairpin, and just pulling her hair together, it looks lighter than some aunts with heads and faces.
Xu Yinghua's hair comb today is a Ruyi flying 'flower' bun, with several gem 'flowers', dressed in a cloud brocade 'color' top, 'exposed' a delicate and soft white skin between the neck, faint and shining under the lamp. Under the moon 'color' palace skirt, small red crystals are decorated in the folds, and the end is a 'flower' cluster and pleasing to the eye.
Concubine Xian sat down on the seat, she glanced at her niece sideways, frowned and whispered, "You are dressed so conspicuously, what are your plans?" ”
Xu Yinghua sat upright without squinting, but replied in a slight voice: "I don't have any ideas, this is the order of 'jade' dyed Nan Nizi." ”
"She herself is on the cusp of the 'waves', but what is she going to do?"
Concubine Xian's brows furrowed even deeper, thinking of the queen's thunderbolt methods, her heart was cold again, but her mouth was even more stern, "She doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you are also mixed in?!" ”
Xu Yinghua pursed her lips slightly, "Auntie, don't underestimate others, she also has some means." If you don't believe it, you'll see it later. ”
While speaking, there were eunuchs outside the hall who screamed and sang, and the queen finally arrived surrounded by everyone.
She is dressed today, but it is very different from usual. The nine strands of gold on the head swayed, and the pearls of 'jade' were like stars in the sky. Covered with a brocade red concave and convex pattern shirt, lined with a dark 'color' glow gauze shirt, it is extremely noble, like the rising sun in the sky.
Her phoenix eyes swept away, but it was a little less casual and friendly, and a little more unpredictable majesty, everyone was silent, and the scene actually calmed down, and the scene was suddenly a little weird.
The queen smiled and asked Zhang Xun, "Is the emperor still in the front hall?" ”
Zhang Xun's lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, only to hear the voice of "Long live" gradually approaching, appearing in front of everyone's eyes, one in front and one behind----
One step behind the figure in the dragon robe, a petite figure stood tall, attracting everyone's attention.
