Chapter 921: A Puppy
Chapter 921: A Puppy
After listening to Hongluan's words, the imperial concubine looked up at her: "It's okay to be in this palace, it's just that it's not good to meet the emperor who disturbs your little couple." β
Hongluan smiled: "Can you let people go to greet the emperor, we will know before the emperor arrives, Niangniang, you can't meet it if you go one step earlier; Even if it does, what can it be, it's just a salute and a few words. She moved her body slightly: "It's really heavy, and I feel a little difficult to breathe after sitting for a long time recently." β
The imperial concubine looked at her stomach: "It's been more than seven months, and it's going to be eight months now, of course I'll be tired." You have to move around a little more lately, so that you can suffer less when you give birth. It's not that the palace is afraid of seeing a ceremony or something, but it will take some time to say a few words at night, you are also tired, and the emperor is also tired, how bad? It's good to have someone greet me, so that you don't have to entertain me when you get it. By the way, what do you think of this trick? Children use it, it's still good to be old, and it's safe and auspicious. β
Hongluan turned his head to look, and the two of them no longer mentioned the emperor and started gossiping.
Everything is as usual in the palace, except for the abnormal movements of the noble concubine Nali, there is no difference; Time quickly came to the evening, because Gu Anping came to say that the emperor couldn't come to eat, so Hongluan and the imperial concubine passed the meal, and when Xiao Shunzi said that the emperor was coming, the imperial concubine smiled and hurriedly said goodbye.
Her residence in the palace is in the opposite direction to the emperor, as long as she leaves Hongluan, she doesn't have to worry about hitting the emperor. After leaving Hongluan's dormitory, she took people to turn the corner and let the maid palace people return to the palace with lanterns, and she took a palace maid to bypass the rockery, and used trees and the like to cover up, and touched back to Hongluan's palace gate.
Today is the first day of the new year, there is no moon, and she is hidden in the shadows, which is not easy for people to find. When she arrived, she saw a faint light shining in the distance, and soon the emperor entered Hongluan's dormitory surrounded by everyone. Although the lights are a little dim, and there is a little distance, the person's face is not very clear, but that person should be the emperor.
The imperial concubine watched the emperor stand for a long time after entering, and it was not until the palace door of Hongluan was closed that she gently exhaled a long breath and muttered: "The emperor is really in the palace, but what does King Hui want to do?" What happened to Concubine Litai yesterday? Seeing that I'm about to return to Beijing, I don't want to do it here. β
She took another look at the palace gate, which was dark because there were no palace lights, and turned around and went back with the palace people. It's just that she didn't know that not long after she left, a figure flashed on the tree where she was hiding, and after seeing her turn the corner, she waved her hand gently, and immediately a figure flashed out on another big tree, quietly following up, and "escorting" the imperial concubine back to the palace on the tree, she still did not leave, and stayed outside her dormitory all night.
Originally, there were several palace concubines in the palace, because Concubine Li said that she was sick for a few days and had not seen anyone for a few days and was a little unstable, but on this day she finally saw Concubine Li who came out and walked around in the garden; However, they were also a little puzzled: "Niangniang, didn't you say that you can't let Concubine Chun go back like this?" She will definitely become a queen when she goes back, and where will there be a good life for us then. β
Concubine Li glanced at her lightly: "Xing Cainu, you can come here to escape the summer because of Concubine Rong, don't you go to serve Concubine Rong and say something that you don't know the depths, isn't it to cause trouble to your Concubine Rong?" Hurry up and go to Concubine Rong to say goodbye, today's words should not be heard in the palace, if there are any more rumors......" She raised her eyelids and her voice was three points heavier: "Don't blame the palace for returning to the emperor." β
Xing Cainu was stunned when she heard this, originally Concubine Li didn't say this, and when she was about to speak, Concubine Li gave her a look: "Go to Concubine Rong and sit down, some things are like hot tofu, but you can't be anxious." After speaking, she took the hand of the palace man and walked away.
Xing Cainu then understood that Concubine Li meant that she had to wait, so she didn't understand too much, because this was a little different from what she said a few days ago; Seeing Concubine Li walking forward, she wanted to follow and ask a few more words when she was pulled back by Fang Zhaorong.
"What do you do, have you forgotten the matter of the cold palace? If someone is willing to get rid of the pure concubine for us and let her stay in this palace to give birth, one year, no, half a year is enough for us to occupy a place in the palace. And let Concubine Chun become the queen, and we will wait for the old death in the palace in the future. Xing Cainu was a little anxious, withdrew her hand and wanted to catch up again.
Fang Zhaorong said lightly: "You still remember the matter of the cold palace, I thought my sister had forgotten." "She didn't pull Xing Cainu this time, and Xing Cainu stopped herself; looked at Xing Cainu's somewhat angry face: "Do you have the guts, or do you have the ability to seek something?" Look at Concubine Hui, and then look at Concubine Xian, don't you understand? Anyway, if someone wants to get along with the pure concubine, we should not know anything, but we can't follow up and join in the fun. β
"Let's go, go and say hello to the concubines. Thinking about the concubines, they have lived in the palace for half their lives, and it naturally makes sense not to let us fight with the pure concubines. If you want that high position, you also have a life, if you can't even save your life, no matter how high you think, you can only die faster. She turned to the opposite direction of Concubine Li: "Be safe, at least for now, or in a few years." β
Although she didn't know what was going on, Concubine Li actually had to wait for a while, that is, things had changed, and she didn't want to catch herself for nothing; She is very happy that someone wants to deal with the pure concubine, but she doesn't want to go to the pool of mixed water, now does she have a chance to see if God can't open her eyes, and the second is to see if she has the patience.
Wait, it's going to be a long time anyway.
Xing Cainu shuddered when she thought of Hongluan's means and followed Zhaorong's footsteps above: "In other words, it's better that we shouldn't be so close to Concubine Li in the future, isn't it?" "She's not completely brainless.
Fang Zhaorong smiled, took her hand and walked away, ignoring the few people who followed Concubine Li; Of course, there were a few others who had left their respective residences like them.
As the days passed, the imperial concubine became more and more unable to sit still, because there was no news in the palace and no one in the capital came; Although the emperor often went to Hongluan's dormitory, she never saw anyone, because she subconsciously didn't want to face the emperor face to face at this time.
After another ten days, at lunchtime, she said to Hongluan: "It's really a little cold this day, and the day of the beginning of autumn is coming, although the day of the beginning of autumn will not be cold immediately, but we should also prepare to go back to Beijing." Especially now, you are eight months old, and if you don't return to Beijing, you will really have to wait for childbirth in the palace. β
Hongluan nodded: "I think the same way, it seems that there is something important in the court, and the emperor is too busy every day to mention the matter of returning to Beijing; The emperor should come over early tonight, I'll ask then, there must be a day when we pack our things. β
"Is the emperor busy?" No mistakes, no word skipping. The heart of the imperial concubine moved: "Also, the emperor is busy until late every day, and of course he is very busy every day." She was waiting for news from King Hui in her heart, but she forgot about it. Maybe the capital has changed, so the emperor will be busy until midnight, and if he doesn't mention the matter of returning to Beijing until now, it is very likely that he will not be able to return to the capital: "I want to tell the people around the emperor to serve well, and the body is important." β
Hongluan smiled and nodded: "I know." Seeing Liu Er hurriedly come in, he asked, "What's the matter, so in a hurry." β
Liu Er saluted and glanced at the imperial concubine: "The emperor is here." β
Hongluan nodded casually at first, and when she was about to send the imperial concubine first, she suddenly woke up: "The emperor is here?" She quickly stood up and looked at the temple gate.
The emperor strode in while untying the big coat, and saw the smile on Hongluan's face: "Luan'er." His gaze swept over the imperial concubine, and he was as peaceful as usual.
The imperial concubine got up and saluted, but when she saw the emperor himself, her hands and feet were a little cold, because the emperor obviously rode around all day, and it didn't look like the palace was dealing with political affairs at all; So who is that "emperor" who has been in the palace these days?
After the emperor gave him a seat, he sat down and looked at Hongluan and said with a smile: "I want to canonize you as the queen, and the six departments have no objections." β
The imperial concubine lowered her eyelids and got up to congratulate, and after saying a few words, she retired. When she stepped out of Hongluan's dormitory, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, looking a little downcast.
Hongluan looked at the emperor and smiled after the imperial concubine left, and did not speak.
The emperor came over and pinched her nose and hugged her: "What are you laughing at?" Are you happy to see me, do you miss me? He put his head on Hongluan's stomach again: "I haven't heard my father speak for so long, do you miss your father too?" β
Hongluan pushed him: "I didn't miss you." She herself did not expect to be so happy when she saw the emperor come in; It turned out that in the past ten days, she was not only worried about the court situation, not just worried about the outcome of the matter: "Alas, the child has been honest in the past ten days, and when you come to kick me, it seems that I really miss you." β
The emperor gently stroked her stomach a few times, and kissed her loudly: "Good, don't kick your queen mother, otherwise my father will be distressed." Then he fell on the bed with Hongluan in his arms, and let Hongluan lean against his chestβknowing that she would not be able to breathe when she lay down now; A pair of eyes looked at her brightly: "You really don't miss me, the person who tells lies is a puppy." He was in a really good mood, although his bones were about to fall apart from the night's travel, but all the hard work of seeing Hongluan's smiling face was worth it.
Hongluan wrinkled her nose and looked at the top of the tent, resting her head on the emperor's chest and listening to his heartbeat, at this moment she really put her heart back in place, and felt steady again: "If you don't think about it, you don't think about it." She smiled and repeated it a few times, then smiled and squinted at it: "Did the emperor think about ......it?" She found that the emperor had closed his eyes and fell asleep, and it seemed that he was really tired.
Just when she wanted to get up lightly, the emperor pulled the quilt with one hand and wrapped it around her waist with the other: "I've been thinking about it every day these daysβ" The corners of his lips curled: "A puppy." β
In the last chapter of 2011, I wish you a happy and happy new year, and we will see you in 2012
