Chapter 32 The Wind Fills the Building
The prince came back from the front hall of the palace, and just around the corner, he saw Dai Qing leading two palace people into the palace from the stage. The two guards asked Dai Qing what was the matter, and Dai Qing said that the queen had ordered Rang to send some clothes and snacks to the prince, and that Imperial Physician Qin would arrive later. The two guards looked at each other, not hearing that the prince was sick, holding a halberd to stop her, and they didn't know whether to let Dai Qing in. Dai Qing reiterated with a cold face that it was ordered by the queen, and those who dared to stop the queen were ignoring the queen. So, the two guards withdrew, ready to make way for Dai Qing and them to go in, and when they took their left foot, Liu Ying walked over and stopped her, "Dai Qing-". Dai Qing turned his head to see that it was the prince, smiled warmly, withdrew his left foot and hurriedly took the next step to salute, "Prince Changle ......" Before he finished speaking, he thought that the prince was not sick? Where did this come back from? Dai Qingfang was stunned, Liu Ying helped her up, and asked Dai Qing what was the matter, so he came to the prince's palace early in the morning. Dai Qing presented it truthfully. Liu Ying nodded and asked someone to take the things in her hand, and said to her, "Imperial Doctor Qin doesn't need to come over, the palace is already well, so I went to Shanglin Yuan to run around the horse." Tell the queen mother that there is no need to worry. Dai Qing nodded with a serious smile and said, 'um'.
Liu Ying went up the steps into the hall, leaving Dai Qing in place, looking at Liu Ying who entered the hall in the fall, Dai Qing was very disappointed, thinking that Liu Ying didn't want to see her, so she lowered her head and stood in place with a little sadness and picked up her nails.
"Come in-" Liu Ying, who had already entered the inner hall, shouted at Dai Qing, Xu felt guilty for not giving Dai Qing face five times, maybe he was leaving, and he wanted to knock on the side and ask Dai Qing to take good care of his mother, so he called her in this time. asked the palace people to take a mat and gave it to Dai Qing, Dai Qing thanked Liu Ying with a smile, and sat opposite Liu Ying with a familiar and neat edge. Fang sat down, and the palace people in the inner hall brought up the bait, which was originally for the prince, but Liu Ying turned it to Dai Qing, who was sitting on the mat, "You drink." "Huh?" Dai Qing was surprised 'ah', he didn't dare to think that the prince gave him the bait, he took it tactfully and excitedly, and smiled at Liu Ying shallowly, and Dai Qing couldn't believe it because he had never been moved. He glanced at the prince with a smile, but found that there was a trace of sadness in his smile, and he looked out of the hall absent-mindedly and without saying a word. Dai Qing put down the bait, wiped the corners of his mouth simply, and asked the prince what happened, he could talk to himself, or he could talk to the queen. The prince smiled perfunctorily at her, saying that it was fine, but he was tired of studying. Dai Qing nodded suspiciously, and persuaded Liu Ying to go out for a walk more in the future, Liu Ying also agreed with a smile, and said that she was indeed going out for a walk this time.
After Dai Qing drank the bait, he inadvertently looked around the inner hall, and still saw the open bauhinia flowers in the four corners, which were blooming at this time, and the lovely flower bones were clustered one by one, which was pitiful. Dai Qing was fascinated by it, got up and walked to the northeast corner, squatted down and sniffed, and smiled at the prince, "When did Your Highness also like Manmaihong?" The flowers are blooming so beautifully. The prince was surprised, afraid of finding something, and responded with a somewhat embarrassed smile, nodded, and hurriedly changed the topic, "How is the queen mother doing?" I didn't go to worship her. ”
Dai Qing, who was playing with the flower bones, nodded with happiness, "Fortunately, it's just that His Highness is always talking about His Highness, saying that His Highness is not in good health, and he can't stand the cold in winter." Empress Lu misses him like this, knowing what snacks Liu Ying likes, what clothes he likes, what games he likes, and he also knows that he can't be frozen in winter, and it's not easy to smoke incense in summer. Liu Ying thought that her mother was good to her, and now she was going to Helan but she had never understood her mother's preferences, Liu Ying lowered her head guiltily and didn't speak for a long time. Dai Qing, who admired the flowers and bones, inadvertently glanced at the prince, and saw that he lowered his head for a long time and was silent, and his face was sad, Dai Qing realized that since he entered the prince's palace, he had not seen the prince smile happily. I didn't have the heart to look at the flowers and look at other things, so I returned to the side of the case and asked the prince with concern what happened to him, why he thought the prince was weird recently, and he rarely went to worship Queen Lu. Dai Qing asked again and again, but Liu Yingsan was silent. Liu Ying didn't want Dai Qing to ask again, so she had to immediately change her cold face, deducing that she still had something to do, and told Dai Qing to leave quickly with a serious face. Dai Qing couldn't finish speaking, and was lightly dragged out of the hall by the crown prince Liu Ying, Dai Qing stared at Liu Ying in surprise and complaining, gritted his teeth and glanced at him, and ran down the steps and ran towards Changxin Palace without looking back.
"Dai Qing, take care of the queen mother." Liu Ying's hurried voice came from behind him.
Dai Qing didn't hear it, and the other two palace people hurriedly disappeared around the corner and disappeared into Liu Ying's eyes. Back at Changxin Palace, Empress Lu saw that Dai Qing looked angry again, and thought that the prince would not give her face again, so she smiled. As for what Dai Qing was thinking, Empress Lu didn't want to know. called Dai Qing over and told her to call all the ladies and beauties in the palace to Xuanyuan Palace. Dai Qing took the order and left.
In the hall, Empress Lu was pacing back and forth with her eyebrows contemplative, and she suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate for the Beiyuan woman, but if she didn't get rid of it now, it would be much more difficult to give birth to an emperor in the future. Moreover, she did think that the child in the belly of the Beiyuan woman was not Emperor Gao's Liu Bang, and always felt that it was deliberately instigated by Han Xin, if she really mixed with Han Xin, then this matter had risen from a simple harem battle to a complex political struggle. For this alone, Empress Lu felt that she had to take the risk of getting rid of her. A faint incense fluttered across his cheeks, his eyes flashed with coldness and murder, and his fingers creaked.
Empress Lu then went to the Xuanyuan Hall to wait, there was a pure gold hairpin on one side of the case in the hall, a bamboo slip on the other case, and a variety of strange things that the emperor gave to Empress Lu in the pavilion. In the center of the hall, there is an incense burner that can only be picked up by two people, and the incense is wafting, and the hall is full of clouds and fog. Fang Yi's tea effort, the harem concubines came one after another. First of all, Shi Meiren and her own girl Fu Zhen Fang entered the main hall and looked up at the Xuanyuan Hall with three written characters, there was a trace of surprise, after entering the hall, he gave Lu Hou a vegetarian ceremony, Lu Hou rewarded the pure gold hairpin to Shi Meiren, Shi Meiren returned the gift and accepted it, and waited with Lu Hou, during which the two said a few words, all of them were Lu Hou again, Shi Meiren listened and was respectful.
The second Mrs. Guan and Chanxin came in, and when they came in, they saluted Empress Lu with a smile, and asked Empress Lu why they asked them to come to Xuanyuan Hall instead of Changxin Palace. Empress Lu looked at her gradually protruding belly and smiled gloomily, glanced at her with disdain to be entangled with her, ignored her words, and told the palace people to take a mat to Mrs. Guan, and asked the palace people to reward Mrs. Guan's hairpin, Mrs. Guan took it in her hand and looked left and right, I don't know what it meant, and glanced at Shi Meiren next to her, Shi Meiren signaled her to be quiet, and drank tea first and waited for others. Mrs. Guan nodded 'oh' at this time, looking at everything in the Xuanyuan Palace, she had never been here, especially when she put a lot of strange things to dazzle Mrs. Guan, she sat down and didn't look anywhere, just stared at the strange things up and down, and her eyes were full of envy. Then Mrs. Bo came in with Fu Er, respectfully bowed, Empress Lu smiled at her and helped her in the air, signaling her to sit down quickly, next to Mrs. Guan, the palace people brought a hairpin to reward Mrs. Bo, Bo Ji respectfully accepted it, smiled back and signaled, Empress Lu also smiled at her and asked, "How is Liu Heng?" "It's okay, Xie Niangniang cares." Bo Ji bowed in response.
The last to come in were Zhao Meiren and Mrs. Qi, followed by Zhao Meiren's girl Jiang Yu and Jing Tian beside Qi Ji. When Zhao Meiren came in, she was terrified and said that her little prince had a cold this morning, and she asked the doctor to see the illness before rushing over. Empress Lu didn't care much, and motioned for her to sit down quickly. Zhao Meiren sat down, Jing Tian hugged Mrs. Qi and looked at the Xuanyuan Hall above her head like Shi Meiren, looking surprised and more unpredictable and worried, so she hurriedly entered the hall. As soon as they entered the palace gate, Empress Lu's eyes never moved away, and a trace of disgust, hatred and disdain flashed in his eyes. Mrs. Qi saw that everyone was left with only herself, and she was a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly walked over and paused, "Niangniang is extremely happy." "The head is buried in the ground and respectfully worships the queen of Lu. Empress Lu gave a cold 'um' with disdain, and turned her gaze to Mrs. Bo instead of Mrs. Qi who was saluting her, Qi Ji didn't dare to get up by herself knowing that Empress Lu was complaining, and kept kneeling on the ground. Seeing that Empress Lu was still cold-faced, they didn't dare to say a word to Empress Lu for Mrs. Qi. Empress Lu slowly savored the tea ceremony, ignoring Qi Ji kneeling on the cold ground in front of her as if she hadn't seen it. Jing Tian on the side saw that Mrs. Qi was so humiliated by Empress Lu, so he wanted to step forward to help and reason with Empress Lu, but when he saw Mrs. Bo's index finger in the right row gently shaking her chest to hint that she could not step forward, Jing Tian understood the meaning and retreated to the same place.
The hall was silent for a while, and the ladies were either drinking tea or absent-mindedly distressed or indifferent to Qi Ji.
"Is your child sick too? Or is there someone in the palace who is pestering you? Lu Hou said with a cold face, "Why is it so late?" ”
Mrs. Qi was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, knowing that saying anything at this time would make Empress Lu angry, so she silently suffered the humiliation of Empress Lu without saying anything. Seeing her trembling and kneeling on the ground with a panicked look, Empress Lu sneered as if venting, feeling that the punishment was enough, and there was a voice outside the strings, "One day the landslide will flow, and no one will have to rely on anyone." "All the concubines are silent." Sit. "Then I sent a message to ask Mrs. Qi to sit on the mat." Xie, Xie Niangniang. After Qi Ji thanked Lu in fear, Fang propped up one leg and said, "Ouch-" and sat on the ground again, how long he knelt made his legs numb, Jing Tian saw the situation and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Qi sit on the mat.
