Chapter 678 Pure Chapter 679 Unexpected Canonization

The Assassin has appeared, confirming that there is indeed someone who is plotting for the throne in the shadows, and does not miss the good opportunity for the emperor to leave the palace; The emperor was in a very bad mood, but fortunately, King Fu had been saved and the little poison he had been cured of, and he immediately stopped staying and returned to the palace with everyone.

When King Fu left, he was still in a coma, and Princess Fu took Hongluan's hand and said, "You must be careful about the affairs in the palace; You're welcome to use me if there's something to do, you know? "No mistakes, no skipping words. After saluting the emperor, she did not wait for the emperor to leave, and left with the people of the Fu Wang's Mansion to protect the Fu King - this is the emperor's special order, because the Fu King needs to recuperate.

The emperor looked at the people in the Fuwang Mansion who were drifting away, and sighed softly in his heart: Second brother, the matter of your captivity of Luan'er has been eliminated; It's up to you to decide what you want to do in the future. He looked back at Hongluan and said softly, "Tired, let's go back to the palace." ”

Hongluan replied softly: "I believe in Princess Fu, and because today, I believe in Princess Fu even more; Your Majesty, you can rest assured. She winked and smiled at the emperor.

It was already late when I returned to the palace, but the concubines in the palace didn't sleep, they were all waiting for the news of the emperor's return to the palace, or were they waiting for the news that the emperor was seriously injured and died? All the palaces and halls sent people to wait, and when they saw the emperor, he was kneeling on the ground.

After entering the palace, there were saluting voices everywhere and calling Zhaorong Niangniang, which really made Hongluan suddenly a little uncomfortable, until she saw Liu'er, Xing'er and others, that she showed a sincere smile: Everyone is good, and she is completely relieved; It's just that now is not the time to speak, and their masters and servants are only red-eyed, but no one speaks.

The emperor didn't pay attention to the others, and patted Hongluan's shoulder slightly: "You rest, you are not lightly frightened, and you don't have to go to the Empress Dowager tonight to say goodbye." ”

Hongluan tilted his head and thought about it when he heard this, "It's okay." "If you don't see the Empress Dowager at this time, let her worry about going, if she can't see herself one day, she won't be able to sleep well for a day; However, there is one thing that can no longer be delayed, she gently took the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to return to Ming, and I ask the emperor to promise the concubine not to be angry after listening quietly." ”

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Hongluan: "You say." He thought that Hongluan had seen or heard it in King Fu's mansion, and said disapprovingly: "I will never be angry again." "His second brother spared his life for him, how could he really be angry if he made some mistakes? Even if the second brother comes to seize the throne again, everyone will be able to rely on their own true skills.

He will not hurt the life of his second brother, just as King Fu will not hurt the life of his brother; At least he knew that when he was the crown prince, the real assassination had nothing to do with King Fu.

Hongluan still pulled the emperor to sit down, and handed him hot tea before slowly telling him that the cause of the queen's death was suspicious; She always paid attention to the emperor's face, and said extremely carefully, for fear that the emperor would not be able to stand it and throw the tea cup in her hand on the ground and break it; When she said that the death of the first empress might be related to the empress dowager, the emperor finally took a long breath.

His face was a little pale, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, but he didn't mean to attack, he looked at the hot tea handed to him by Hongluan in his hand and was silent for a long time, and then raised his neck and drank it all: "In other words, the people of the Shangguan family will hunt you down, not only because of Yuanhua's affairs, but also because the Empress Dowager wants to kill people?" ”

Hongluan said cautiously: "The concubine is not certain, but there is such a possibility; Because the slave maid did not have evidence to confirm that the death of the first queen was suspicious, and it was related to the queen mother. She looked at the emperor: "What the Empress Dowager thinks is not something that the concubine can see. ”

The emperor gently put down the teacup, pulled Hongluan and hugged her tightly in his arms for a while before saying, "Do you want a certificate?" I finally understood that the Empress Dowager left me young to practice Buddhism, and let me be taken care of by Concubine Li and lost my dependence. Luan'er, you don't have to worry, I know what to do; Do you know how many years I endured before? Now, of course, I won't be impulsive, because the Shangguan family is not yet the time for us to take it out. ”

He gently patted Hongluan's back: "Don't worry, I'll come when I go; I always have to go to the Empress Dowager, that's filial piety. He was a little cold when he said "filial piety", and then gently sorted out the red luan's emanation: "You go to the bath first, and I will come back to accompany you in a while." By the way, I picked out a word for you, I don't know if you like it - 'pure'. ”

Hongluan heard the blessing and saluted: "Thank you, Emperor." "It is a great honor for little Zhaorong to have a number, and of course she feels the emperor's kindness.

The emperor didn't leave immediately, stretched out his hand to help Hongluan and took her hand: "At that time, I was in a dilemma between 'pure' and 'yi' for a long time, and finally decided to use the word 'pure'; ”

Hearing this, Hongluan looked at the emperor and wanted to ask why there would be these two words as a title, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed back: the emperor still knows her better, and she doesn't really understand the meaning of these two words; Besides, now is not the time to talk about this, she gently snuggled up to the emperor: "Today's starry sky is very beautiful, do you remember what I said on the day we admired the moon?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

The emperor turned his head to look over, and the stars outside the window were shining; He was silent for a while and gently dropped a kiss between the red luan's hair: "Thank you, I can go now." ”

Hongluan let go of him and bowed: "The concubine will wait for the emperor to come back." She knew that the emperor didn't have the heart to talk about her title at this time, but it was only because the emperor's heart was in turmoil, so he would find something else to say and want to calm himself.

The emperor is a very self-controlled person, so Hongluan knew that he couldn't go to see the empress dowager if he couldn't calm down, so he specially mentioned the matter of talking about the first empress; On that occasion she had told the Emperor that the Empress had always been by his side—that the Emperor would thank her only when he understood her words and understood her thoughts.

After seeing the emperor leave, Hongluan hugged Liu'er, Xing'er and others who rushed in, and tears still came out after all; After parting with life and death, she knew that Xing'er, Liu'er, Xiaoshunzi and others had already become her family, and they couldn't be separated by blood.

Of course, they didn't say much sentimental words, and Liu Er almost immediately talked about the current situation in the palace: they saw Hongluan and saw her intact with their own eyes, so what they had to do was to help Hongluan stand more firmly in the palace; There is time to say those sentimental things, but now is not the right time.

There are some changes in the palace that can be expected even if Hongluan is not there, such as the crown princess becoming the queen, Yuan Hua is only a talented person in front of him, and Yuan Hua's sister is going to enter the palace, etc.; But there are many changes in the situation in the palace that she doesn't know, such as how Zixuan and Xian Xian are now, and whether they are still walking with the queen.

Also, what about the changes in the concubines?

Chapter 679: Unexpected Canonization

The queen is now satisfied, but life is not comfortable, because the emperor does not stay with her every day; And Xian Xian and Zi Xuan obviously have more favors from the emperor than the queen, even if the emperor goes to them more times than the queen, but there are clear-eyed people in the palace.

Liu Er frowned when she said this: "There are many bright-eyed people, such as the two concubines and the imperial concubine; Concubine Taigui is very dissatisfied with the two new concubines, but now she has no way to take them; But the imperial concubine takes care of the two brides very much, and now she walks around very affectionately. ”

Hongluan nodded and smiled faintly: "Xian's title is 'Xian', and Zixuan's title is 'Hui', which is really as good as his name." She didn't say anything about the current situation in the palace.

Xiao Shunzi said: "Concubine Xian is given to live in Qingping Palace, Concubine Hui is given to live in Qingle Palace, Yu Wanyi is Leng Yu to live in the Deyuan Hall of Mingde Palace, and Ning Cairen lives far away in Lanxin Pavilion in Yanxi Palace; It's just because you are not in the palace, although the emperor insisted on canonizing you with a clear will, and gave you the title but did not give you a place to live, it is the intention of the empress dowager. He was obviously very concerned about not giving Hongluan a place to live: "I can't let Niangniang go back to the palace slave courtyard now." ”

"That's not either;" Hongluan smiled: "Aren't they afraid of embarrassing you and being angry?" You must know that I am a royal concubine, with a name and a title, let me go to live in the palace slave house, I will go to live in the palace slave house, anyway, it is not my face alone. She looked at Xiao Shunzi and Liu'er: "You guys are two less, right?" There are a lot of words without mistakes, how did you become dumb? ”

Xing'er, Zhao Di, and Erya looked at Hongluan and gently rubbed the corners of their clothes: "No, I forgot to speak when I saw that Niangniang was happy." ”

Hongluan also saw traces of forced laughter on the faces of Liu Er and the others, and gently waved his sleeves: "Now that I have returned to the palace, which one bullied you, you said that it was before, I was just a palace slave and was not afraid, is there anything to be afraid of now?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Liu Er hurriedly smiled and said: "Niangniang said that she went there, but we, we were so happy to see Niangniang; That, Hua Concubine has entered the palace, and the emperor directly entered the concubine position after being favored, and now she is Hua Fei Niangniang, and she lives in Tsinghua Palace - the palace name is also named after her name, and she is the most favored person in the palace now. ”

Hongluan didn't expect that in just a few days, the Fenghua girl of the Shangguan family had already become a concubine, she thought of the power of the Shangguan family and the emperor's embarrassment, and smiled lightly: "She has wronged her by being a concubine." "There's nothing strange or dissatisfying about this, it's to be expected.

The emperor did not make her a concubine, which is already considered not to have given face to the Empress Dowager and the Shangguan family, maybe Shangguan Fenghua is also extremely dissatisfied now: people are here to be the queen, who knows that they didn't even get a concubine.

"Where's Bing'er?" Hongluan looked at Liu Er and smiled: "Is she living with the queen now, or has she already lived in another palace?" ”

Liu Er grinned: "Attached to the queen's palace, she serves the queen every day with the dignity of Zhaorong, and in addition to that title, she seems to be the queen's personal palace maid; Moreover, I heard that the emperor went to the queen, and the queen never let her sleep; Now the palace people are guessing, when they catch up with the queen Yuexin, they don't know whether she will let the emperor go to other concubines, or let Bing'er Zhaorong sleep. ”

Hongluan nodded when she heard this: "Bing'er Zhaorong didn't have a title, so hasn't she restored her original surname now?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"It's recovered, and everyone usually looks like Qi Zhaorong." Liu Er said here to look at Hongluan: "When Niangniang was away, Qi Zhaorong took care of us a lot; In addition to her, Yu Wanyi takes care of us a lot, and the queen can get by, anyway, with the emperor's will, the slaves and maids did not suffer. ”

"Speaking of which, the position of cold jade is not low, it is actually from the fourth grade, and I will go to congratulate each other another day;" Hongluan smiled at Gu Liu'er and the others: "You don't have to endure hardships, how can I think you are a little unspeakable?" Say it, we haven't encountered anything, and what can we do? ”

Liu Er lowered her head: "Chunfang has been walking around very diligently to Yu Wanyi and the imperial concubine these days, and often can't see her personally for a day; We are so anxious for our mother, but Chunfang seems to be planning a way back for herself; She looked up: "Niangniang, why don't you take this opportunity to send Chunfang out." ”

Hongluan shook his head: "To whom?" Yu Wanyi, right? There are many mistakes, I don't think Yu Wanyi has a good impression of Chunfang, and she is the person who was rewarded to me by the imperial concubine, how could she send it out after I was sealed? It's better to stay, just don't let her do the important things like before. ”

"Niangniang, I'm afraid it won't work." Xiao Pingzi was anxious: "She was named a female history by the imperial concubine," he was even more anxious when he glanced at Liu Er: "If you don't say what I said, I can't help it; You are afraid of tigers and wolves, but sooner or later, don't you have to know? Besides, let people be bullied on the head of the mother like this, and you will not be willing to do it."

When Hongluan heard this, he was sure that something had indeed happened, and called Xiao Pingzi: "You say, don't pay attention to them; Explain it carefully to me, who is going to bully you? "The person who bullied her is bullying her, and the person who beats her is slapping her in the face—not only because she protects her son, but this is the hidden rule in the palace.

Liu Er shouted: "Xiao Pingzi"

Xing'er also glared: "You talk nonsense to make Niangniang worry, Niangniang has the emperor's protection and who dares to bully her, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”

Hongluan put down his face: "Am I the master?" Do you think I'm your sister anymore? Something, Xiaopingzi, you tell me. She looked at Liu'er and Xing'er's appearance and concluded that the matter was not trivial.

Xiao Pingzi knelt on the ground: "Lord Liu was asked to leave, Xing'er, Erya and Zhaodi all became palace maids, but they were also asked to leave, and even Xiao Shunzi, Cuihuan and Xiangmei were also asked to leave; Niangniang, now the only people left by your side are the little me, and that Chunfang."

Hongluan stood up when he heard this: "Who?" "Dare to hit the people around her, it's really too deceitful, when she really died outside? Her eyebrows were raised: "Who is it that can make you scared like this?" ”

"Lord Liu was pointed out to Concubine Hua by the Empress Dowager, and Xing'er went to serve Ning Cairen, Erya and Zhaodi went to Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian; Xiao Shunzi is going to serve Qi Zhaorong, Cuihuan is going to serve Li Liren, and Xiangmei is going to serve Liu Meiren. Xiao Pingzi knelt on the ground and cried: "Niangniang, the will of the Empress Dowager canonized that Li Daniu as a beauty, and a woman named Liu Chun as a beauty." ”
