Chapter 9: Woe to you

Qianqing Palace,

Shen Yan and Empress Hua Qing were sitting opposite each other for dinner.

The two were silent, and the room was silent.

It's not like an ordinary couple, but like a routine business.

The big palace maid beside her made a look, and the queen looked at Shen Yan opposite, not feeling a little distracted, in a few years, she had become the head of the women in the world from the princess.

Sometimes when I look at my face and then look at the woman like a flower in the harem, I will sigh that my years have passed, but Shen Yan is still the handsome person he was back then.

Respect, what is the use of a woman?

Thinking of this, the queen felt a slight sour in her heart, and insisted not to lose her posture in front of Shen Yan, sandwiched a piece of roasted mutton and said: "The concubine specially let the small kitchen make it, so let's try it." ”

Shen Yan chewed carefully, the mutton was tender but not good, the heat was just right, he nodded, and said gently: "The queen has a heart." ”

Shen Yan's smiling gaze was fixed on the queen's face, the queen smiled slightly, Shen Yan is still so gentle, in fact...... That's good too.

Shen Yan opened his mouth and said, "Today is the fifteenth, I will stay with you."

After the queen finished washing, she came to the inner room in a yellow bedclothes, only to see that Shen Yan had already fallen asleep.

The queen was used to it, so she didn't alarm Shen Yan, and gently went to bed and slept in her clothes.

The harem is cold all day long, and only Shen Yan can dispel such a chill, so even if he does whatever it takes, he wants Shen Yan to stop for a moment.

…………

Not only Concubine Jia here, but also the other palaces are full of cursing.

For a few days in a row, they are all Shangguan talents, and now who in the palace does not envy Guan Qingqiu's grace, everywhere is the Zitai Palace, Shen Yan has always rarely entered the harem, and even the graceful Jia Guifei and Shuzhaorong Li Concubine and others have only gone one or two more times, and most of the time they are resting in the Qingzhao Palace. The concubines originally thought that Shen Yan was focusing on state affairs and not indulging in the love between men and women, but now it seems that they have not met the person they like, and the concubines of the Sixth Palace are not good-looking for a while.

Guan Qingqiu was closed in the palace, and he was with Shen Yan every day, never asking about the outside world.

Shun Su looked worried and said, "There are some sounds outside that are not very good?" ”

Guan Qingqiu was cutting flowers: "Oh, yes? ”

"Especially Concubine Jia and Concubine Li, I heard that they have fallen a lot of things in the palace recently."

Guan Qingqiu focused on the flowers and leaves in front of him, first cut off the excess branches and leaves, the things in the vase gradually took shape, picked up a few lilies on the plum blossom paint filling machine to find a suitable space and inserted them, and it took shape after a while.

It is staggered, and the flowers are clear and sparse.

After that, the corners of Guan Qingqiu's mouth were slightly raised, and he said slowly: "The things belong to them, what do we have to feel sorry for." ”

Guan Qingqiu was afraid that they would not come, so the stage was set up for them.

Guan Qingqiu finally put the vase a little farther away, squinted his eyes and looked at it, and felt that there was no flaw before letting Shunsu put it on.

Shun Su looked at Guan Qingqiu's appearance and knew that the little master, who had not been able to figure out the bottom since he fell into the water, had an idea, and praised: "I originally thought that the little master could only play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't expect that he also had research on taking care of these flowers, which was much better than the one sent by the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Guan Qingqiu smiled faintly: "As long as you put your mind to it, there is nothing that you can't do." ”

Shun Su was thoughtful.

Suddenly thinking of something, Shun Su asked: "By the way, the emperor will come over for dinner these days, do you need to let the small kitchen prepare it first?" ”

Guan Qingqiu said: "No need, today is the night of the full moon, the emperor will go to accompany the queen to dinner, after all, it is the middle palace, and the emperor always has to give some face." ”

I don't know if it's Shunsu's illusion, when it comes to the queen, this moody master seems to have skipped a trace of disgust, and it is fleeting.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's already June.

Guan Qingqiu just got up and heard the ringing outside and knew that there was someone.

Shun Su's face was a little heavy when she came in, and Guan Qingqiu let her take care of her hair: "What's wrong?" ”

"Concubine Li is pregnant."

Concubine Li spoke with sour and sticky vinegar, and she had a gun and a stick, but she had a good temperament and didn't care about her.

The people in Zhong Cui Palace are even more obvious, and they have to sneer at them when they go to the Internal Affairs Office to get things.

Shun Su hadn't seen anything in the palace for a few years, so he just smiled for the first time, and then he was a little angry in his heart after more times.

"Xin Rui of Zhong Cui Palace is really ugly, scolding us around the corner, now that Concubine Li is pregnant, I am afraid of some trouble in the future." Shunsu sighed.

Guan Qingqiu frowned, what kind of dog does the master raise, and advised: "She Zhongcui Palace has always been unable to get along with our palace, and now that she has a child in her belly, she must be more and more rampant, and the scolding is ugly, you just treat them as if they are barking at the dog, and let the people in the palace try not to argue with them." ”

Shun Su snorted and laughed, and the dog barked - think about it.

Guan Qingqiu paused, and said lightly: "If it's really too much, you don't have to endure it, everything has me." ”

On this day, Guan Qingqiu and Shunsu came back from the Qingzhao Palace, and when they arrived at the Zitai Palace, they saw that the gate was closed, and the two glanced at each other, feeling that something was wrong. Shun Su stepped forward and knocked a few times, and waited for a while before someone opened the door, revealing a thin crack in the red door.

An eye is revealed.

Shun Su's pupils shrank and he took a step back.

Guan Qingqiu stepped forward to take a look, and directly reached out and pushed the door open.

"Okay, you monkey cub, you scared me to death." Shun Su saw that the person inside the door was Xiao Zhongzi, and scolded in shock.

Xiao Zhongzi's head was covered with beads of sweat, and he apologized embarrassedly.

Guan Qingqiu asked him directly: "What's wrong in the palace?" ”

Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly said: "Sister Zhao'er was arrested. ”

"What? Who is it?! Guan Qingqiu was anxious and angry, Zhao'er was the first person she saw in the palace, the little girl was cute and cute, Guan Qingqiu had always regarded her as her sister, and now when she heard that someone was arrested, she couldn't sit still.

"It's Concubine Li, not to mention that Sister Zhao'er had an affair with the guards, and she brought a lot of people to Zhongcui Palace on the way."

Zhong Cui Palace was not far from Zitai Palace, and Guan Qingqiu hurriedly went out with a few people.

I saw Zhong Cui Palace from a distance, the plaques were more magnificent than the other palaces, the door was closed, Guan Qingqiu was anxious when he thought about Zhao'er inside, but his face became more and more solemn.

She said fiercely, "Knock me out." ”

The last few eunuchs were carefully selected by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and two of them even had some kung fu on their bodies, and as soon as they heard the order, they immediately leaned down and slammed into the door, and the wooden gate opened in two clicks under the huge force.

The noisy and noisy scene was immediately presented in front of everyone's eyes, several eunuchs pressed Zhao'er on a long wooden bench, and a group of people gathered together with Li Concubine as the leader.

I couldn't see the specific situation at all, and I could only hear the movement inside from the sound of flesh on the board.

"Stop!"

The door slammed, and everyone inside looked outside.

Seeing that it was Guan Qingqiu, his face changed.

Guan Qingqiu was very angry in his heart, but his face was only slightly heavy, and he walked over to Concubine Li, first gave a blessing, and then said: "I don't know what Zhao'er in my palace has done, let Sister Concubine Li punish on her behalf." ”

Guan Qingqiu aggravated the word "acting on behalf of", I believe that Concubine Li will not be unable to hear it.

Concubine Li coughed lightly and said softly: "My sister is serious, do you know what this girl has done?" ”

Guan Qingqiu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Concubine Li sighed with a hint of anger: "The cheap hoof doesn't know how to do things, and he does such a frivolous thing, and he actually teaches and accepts it privately with the guards, which is really a shame for my sister." As he spoke, he glanced at the immobile photos that were pressed.

Guan Qingqiu followed his eyes and looked over.

Zhao'er on the stool had a small face dripping with cold sweat, almost bloodless, presumably gagged, unable to speak, and could only make a whining sound.

Guan Qingqiu's eyes were a little cold, and he said on his face: "It's really ...... What a big charge. The voice grew lower and lower, with the air of Sensen.

Concubine Li heard that somehow a faint chill rose up, and she forced herself to calm down: "Yes, this is a felony that will be imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division, I am afraid that my sister's reputation will be damaged, and the person happened to pass by Zhong Cui Palace, so she brought people over." ”

Guan Qingqiu almost laughed angrily, although Zhong Cui Palace is close to Zitai Palace, but the two palaces are not harmonious, how could Zhao'er pass here.

Guan Qingqiu said lightly: "What I said is, let Zhao'er say such a big thing herself." ”

Concubine Li couldn't, so she asked the eunuch to take out the cloth ball in her mouth.

Zhao'er cried as soon as she could speak, and tears fell down: "Little master, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged......"

She was so frightened that she only knew these two sentences over and over again.

Guan Qingqiu was distressed when he saw it, and said softly: "Did you do it?" ”

Zhao'er choked up and said, "No! Slaves...... The slave had never done such a thing. ”

Guan Qingqiu said gently: "I know, Zhao'er is not such a person, with me, I don't want others to wronged you." ”

"You-" Concubine Li heard that something was wrong.

Guan Qingqiu's face was already cold when he looked at her again: "What else does Concubine Li want to say?" ”

"You can't take people away."

"She's from my palace, so I won't bother my sister to discipline her."

"As a concubine, do I ......" Concubine Li accentuated her voice, "Sister thinks I can't even discipline a palace maid?" ”

Guan Qingqiu smiled and said, "How could it be? My sister has always done things fairly, and she can't do this kind of thing, but this matter is very important, and it is better to make a decision after knowing the emperor and queen. ”

I thought it would be good to disgust her, the difference between the words Li Concubine and justice is as high as a west tower.

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Li couldn't hold it on her face, and the usual smile on her face was reluctantly continued: "Yes." ”

Guan Qingqiu saw the joy of her promise and knew that it must be unusual.

Sure enough, Concubine Li said: "After beating the rest of the board, you can leave." ”

Guan Qingqiu sneered in his heart, the people of Zhong Cui Palace are vicious, and a few boards are like this, and you can see blood oozing out of the placket, not to mention inside, if you really finish the fight, I am afraid that it will be crippled.

Squinting his eyes, Guan Qingqiu laughed instead: "What if I have to take it away?" ”

Her black eyes stared at Concubine Li unblinkingly, showing a tough attitude that did not give in.

It was already long and exquisite, but now it has bright eyes, and it is scorching in the sun.
