Chapter Twenty-Six: His Anger
"Really?" Zhuang Xianren stroked Peony Hua'er's hand for a moment: "Get up, hurry up and help the palace dress up." β
"Niangniang, you are already looking good now." Ruoli got up and walked to the side of the virtuous concubine.
Zhuang Xianren was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's sweet for you, but this palace still wants you to take a look at it again." The palace wants to present its most beautiful posture to the emperor. She said, pointing to the palace maid who was waiting for the meal: "You, you, hurry up and put the meal away, don't delay the palace and the emperor's meal." β
"Yes." The palace maids were busy, and it seemed that Fangyi Palace was a little more lively.
Cheng Qian sat in a sedan chair and came to Fangyi Palace, frowned, and finally walked in.
"Your Majesty." Zhuang Xianren was at the gate of Fangyi Palace, greeting him: "The concubine participates in the emperor." β
Cheng Qian only glanced at it: the powder on her face was whiter, and the clothes she wore were very showyβbeautiful and beautiful, but slightly vulgar, which was diametrically opposed to Su Wenmei's clarity and elegance.
He didn't look at her anymore, and walked straight to the dormitory of Fangyi Palace: "I'm hungry, Concubine Xian is here, but what is there to eat?" β
"Your Majesty." Zhuang Xianren followed: "The concubine has just set the meal and is ready to eat." No, you're here. β
Cheng Qian didn't speak, sat down at the round table, and moved his chopsticks: "Well, the bad goose is good." β
"Your Majesty." Zhuang Xianren looked at Cheng Qian's secret Qiubo, and said: "The concubines are idle on weekdays, and there are many delicacies in the palace, and a person's character is very boring, not as good as the emperor's ......."
Cheng Qian still didn't speak, with a lukewarm attitude, he stretched out the silver chopsticks in his hand to the tip of the green bamboo shoots farther away.
"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that the Queen Mother is right, the concubines should be for the royal family, so the emperor ......"
Cheng Qian's action of picking up vegetables paused, raised his eyes, and looked at her with a little annoyance: "You are the one who is the one who is with the queen mother, right?!" It's long-winded and annoying! β
Zhuang Xianren looked at him frowning at her, a little panicked and a little sad in his heart, and his hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, not knowing whether to pick up the vegetables or not.
Cheng Qian was not affected at all, he picked up the dishes and ate them fiercely, and the little Li Zi on the side saw it and couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, you ...... it."
Cheng Qian was eating the food, thinking about what Yan Ronglie said and did today, he was a little sad, his eyes seemed to be tearful, like an angry little daughter-in-law. He also ignored Xiao Lizi's reminder and tried his best to stuff it into his mouth until he couldn't hold it in his mouth.
This meal was very unpleasant, and Zhuang Xianren did not speak again the whole time because he was reprimanded by Cheng Qian. Although Fangyi Palace is crowded today, it is still terrifyingly quiet, and there is an air of sincere fear in the air.
Cheng Qian finished his lunch, didn't say a word, and hurriedly returned to the main hall with Xiao Lizi. Zhuang Xianren knelt down to send it off, the look on her face was panicked and lost, and her heart was full of mixed feelings at the moment.
The emperor doesn't know what's wrong today, and the person who usually can't say a heavy word actually said such a heavy thing in Fangyi Palace today.
"Ruoli." After the emperor left, Zhuang Xianren looked flustered, and said to the first-class palace maid beside him: "Is what the palace said to the queen mother that day, a little too much?" After the emperor, will he still come to Fangyi Palace? β
"Niangniang, according to the slave maid, the emperor doesn't seem to be targeting Niangniang, as if he encountered something bad and vented in Fangyi Palace." Ruo Li said: "Niangniang is relieved for the time being, the emperor is benevolent, and he will miss Niangniang's good son in the future." β
Zhuang Xianren nodded: "I hope so." You will go to the secret in the afternoon to find out what happened to the emperor recently. β
"Yes."
She got up and went back to Fangyi Palace, and withdrew those cold meals, only feeling annoyed in her heart, and restless in the dormitory.
"Concubine Niangniang." Ruoli came: "Concubine Lan Niangniang came to ask to see, do you want to see Niangniang?" β
She and Concubine Lan are good, if it is usual, she must see each other, chattering, but today, she is a little bored and doesn't want to see anyone.
"Niangniang, Concubine Lan Niangniang and you will come to make friends quickly, why don't you meet her, if you have any difficulties, you can also discuss with Concubine Lan."
"Then let her in."
Concubine Lan entered the palace, and after the necessary etiquette, she spoke to her: "I heard that the emperor has dinner here with my sister today, which shows that in the emperor's heart, in addition to Su Wenmei, there is still a place for my sister." β
Ruo Li turned his back to Mo Lanyan and pouted secretly, this Concubine Lan is really a pot that can't be opened!
Looking at Concubine Zhuang again, her face had changed, her eyelids drooped, and her expression became gloomy: "Don't hide it from my sister, the emperor came to lunch today, but he lost his temper." β
"The emperor has always been gentle and benevolent, what did my sister do to anger the emperor?"
Zhuang Xianren didn't know what to say, so Mo Lanyan continued to speak: "The concubine heard that today it was the envoy who angered the emperor, saying that he wanted to rob the emperor of a woman, and that woman was the envoy's fiancΓ©e. β
"Robbing women?" Zhuang Xianren was a little surprised: "The courage of the envoy is also big enough, and the feet of the Son of Heaven are so presumptuous." But then again, what woman deserves the emperor's wrath? β
Mo Lanyan looked at the surrounding slaves and leaned into Zhuang Xianren's ear: "Su Wenmei! β
"My sister just knows it in her heart, don't say that it was passed on by the concubine, the concubine is timid, if it makes a big fuss, I'm afraid I can't afford to bear it." Mo Lanchang whispered.
Zhuang Xianren's hands wrung handkerchiefs involuntarily. Wow! It's you Su Wenmei again! The emperor was reluctant to punish you, but he came to me and lost his temper!
"Concubine Niangniang." Mo Lanchang shook Zhuang Xianren's hand in a pretended gesture: "Don't worry, I don't want to be angry with my sister when I think about it, my sister does her part, and one day the emperor will see my sister's good son and pity my sister." β
Zhuang Xianren didn't speak again, and silently withdrew the hand that was held by Mo Lanyan.
"Sister, when I came to Fangyi Palace today, I wanted to accompany my sister to talk for a while to pass the time, but I didn't know that I would encounter such a bad thing. In this way, my sister will have a good rest, my sister will go back to the palace first, sister, please relax, I think that the emperor is not annoying my sister, and I will definitely come to visit my sister again. Mo Lanchang got up as she spoke, saluted Zhuang Xianren, and walked out of Fangyi Palace.
Zhuang Xianren didn't keep her and let her go.
Su Wenmei! Su Wenmei! Zhuang Xianren bit his lip tightly, his brows furrowed.
Su Wenmei was in Jinyun Palace at the moment, because she had no appetite, so she didn't have lunch, and at this moment Bing'er brought her some red dates and chestnut cakes.
"Mother." Bing'er said: "Forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, today's envoy seems to know Niangniang." What intersection did Niang Niang have with him before? β
Su Wenmei listened to it, struggled in her heart, and finally bit her lip and told her experience in Huihong, and after a while, she beat her head with some annoyance: "I really regret it, why did you take the deer handed over by Yan Ronglie in the first place?!" β
Outside the Qianzheng Hall before, Wan Yan Ronglie bluntly said that he was his fiancΓ©e, but what happened at the beginning was not what others thought. Su Wenmei wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to speak.
"Mother." Bing'er laughed, "You didn't know what that prey meant. β
"However, the emperor must have misunderstood, otherwise why wouldn't he come to see Niangniang? Lunch is not used by you either, what are the plans of the mother now? β
Intend? Su Wenmei picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth: "What else can I plan?" It's nothing more than the mountains don't turn around. I'll find a chance to meet him and figure out how to explain things clearly. β
"Mother, that's very good." Bing'er smiled: "Slave maid, let people stew some soup." β
Su Wenmei carried a cup of peach gum chain longan soup and took advantage of the afternoon to walk towards the main hall.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lizi said on Cheng Qian's side: "Concubine Wen came to ask to see, saying that the emperor was working hard, and she specially stewed peach gum longan soup for the emperor, and asked to see the emperor outside the palace." β
Cheng Qian took the fold and glanced at Xiao Lizi with some surprise. In his eyes, Su Wenmei is a person who is not good at explaining. Didn't she feel guilty because she had something wrong?
Cheng Qian thought about it, and said, "I'm very busy today, it's inconvenient to see her, so you let her go back." Finally, he hesitated for a moment: "I'm done with the evening, I'll go to see her." β
Su Wenmei was here in Cheng Qian, and for the first time, she ate closed-door soup and returned to Jinyun Palace with Bing'er.
"Niangniang, don't be sad, the emperor has always loved Niangniang. Now it's just a misunderstanding of Niangniang, and when the misunderstanding is resolved, the emperor will still love Niangniang as before. β
Su Wenmei listened to Bing'er's words of relief, and only smiled bitterly.
In the evening, Cheng Qian finished his government affairs and came to Su Wenmei's Jinyun Palace. Su Wenmei was sitting on the couch at this time, reaching out to take the grapes in the fruit bowl next to her and eating them. While listening to the musicians in the palace boredly, a pair of slender jade feet stretched out and placed on the couch.
Cheng Qian didn't let anyone inform him, so he entered the dormitory of Jinyun Palace, and saw Su Wenmei's seductive appearance at a glance. He felt even more annoyed when he remembered what Yan Ronglie had done outside the main hall during the day, and an unprecedented possessiveness burned in his heart.
Su Wenmei was obviously a little surprised when she saw Cheng Qian coming in, so she hurriedly got up and saluted Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian waved his hand and let those musicians go down. Then he looked at her kneeling on the ground condescendingly, and stretched out his hand to choke her chin: "You and Wan Yan Ronglie, have you ever had a marriage contract?" β
"No, the emperor ......"
"Do you know that I am the Son of Heaven! The woman of the Son of Heaven cannot tolerate the slightest filth! You're like this, how can I save face?! I've never heard you say you were engaged to anyone else. β
Su Wenmei looked at Cheng Qian's eyes, and for the first time saw him angry when she saw him gentle. Su Wenmei looked at Cheng Qian incredulously. She was a little frightened and wanted to explain, but he wouldn't listen to half of his explanation.
"Your Majesty......" Before she could finish her words, he grabbed her wrist, threw herself down, and pressed her to the couch.
He was a little angry, and the humiliation outside the main hall during the day had now turned into a rage, and he had lost his mind when possessiveness filled his chest. Ignoring her pleas for mercy, he kissed her the lips and placed her onion-like knuckles on his chest.
Through a layer of clothing, Su Wenmei could also feel the strong beating of his chest.
