533 boxes of gemstones
Xiao Shaoxuan was still worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep, so he went to find the palace maid outside the hall and let her burn the incense.
Lu Ruoqing slept for an hour before she woke up.
Mint came in and cleaned her face, put on makeup, combed her hair, and dressed her carefully.
Concubine Duan asked people to send lotus seed soup and snacks.
Lu Ruoqing sat down with Xiao Shaoxuan, took it slowly, and ate half full before going out.
When she arrived at the front hall, Concubine Duan said: "Yongning is still sleeping, I am reluctant to wake her up, you see the emperor and say, I will not go there tonight." ”
Lu Ruoqing smiled, "Okay." ”
Lu Mubai came out and asked, "Shall I go?" ”
"No, you don't." Lu Ruoqing didn't like to let her brother participate in the lively occasion, and said: "You stay with your sister-in-law, and when she wakes up, you can go back to the princess's mansion together." ”
Concubine Duan smiled: "Yes, lest Yongning wake up and not see you, and have to be anxious." ”
"Don't worry, I'll talk to the emperor." Lu Ruoqing smiled, and then left with Xiao Shaoxuan.
When you arrive at the edge of the Taiye Pool, the fire trees, candles, and lanterns are lit up, and there are colorful ribbons everywhere, decorating the flowers, and it is a lively and festive scene.
At the banquet, the atmosphere was lively under the hustle and bustle of singing and dancing.
Lu Ruoqing and Xiao Shaoxuan entered the table, saluted the emperor first, and then sat down.
The emperor asked, "Is Yongning's fetal statue okay?" ”
Lu Ruoqing replied: "Fortunately, she just needs to recuperate for a while, so I didn't let her come over, leaving Concubine Duan and my brother by my side." ”
"It should." The emperor nodded, and then asked, "How are you?" Are there any influences? ”
Lu Ruoqing replied: "Thank you for your concern, my daughter-in-law is fine." ”
The emperor suddenly sank his face slightly, "Princess Yu is really unreasonable!" ”
Lu Ruoqing smiled and said, "Father, although there is such a thing as witch Gu, it really makes people angry. But fortunately, the daughter-in-law and Princess Yongning are still safe, so the father should not be too angry, so as not to move the liver fire, and it is not appropriate to maintain the dragon body. ”
She was originally born extremely beautiful and beautiful.
At this moment, the tone was gentle, and it was a caring and considerate filial piety language, which naturally made the emperor feel comfortable when he heard it, and unconsciously dissipated some of his anger.
The emperor immediately softened his expression and boasted: "Among these juniors of mine, you are sensible. ”
Lu Ruoqing smiled, "In that case, why doesn't my father reward his daughter-in-law with some good things?" It's okay for the daughter-in-law to take it back to show off and show off, with a long face. ”
"Hahaha." The Emperor was amused by her.
It's not that Lu Ruoqing's words are particularly funny.
Instead, it gave her a face, and it just eased the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The emperor immediately said: "Reward! Give the box of gems paid tribute by the Western Regions to the princess of Zhenbei. ”
Liu Jin immediately urged the little eunuch, "Go and get it!" ”
Because Lu Ruoqing came a little late, Nian Ying couldn't help but worry, so she walked over and asked her quietly, "Why did you go for a long time?" I'm worried that you're uncomfortable, and I want to go to you. ”
Lu Ruoqing joked, "Are you really worried about me?" Don't see my father reward me with a box of gems, I want to share it. ”
Although Nian Ying suffered some blows because King Qi abandoned her before, she was a little depressed.
However, in such a big scene outside, it can still be handled.
Immediately laughed and said, "Yes! I just want to divide it. ”
She was originally lively and refreshing, and deliberately muttered to the emperor, "Father, you can't be too partial!" The same is your daughter-in-law, the same has filial piety, is this gem a share today? ”
The emperor is old, so he naturally likes sweet and pleasing juniors.
So he smiled: "There is a share, there is a share." ”
Nian Ying pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and looked at Lu Ruoqing, "I don't care!" Wait for my father's box of gems to come, and let me choose a few, otherwise I won't follow. ”
Lu Ruoqing pretended to be distressed and snorted, "At most one!" Any more, I'm going to turn my face. ”
The words made everyone laugh.
The emperor was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you concubines are harmonious, I am very happy." ”
As for Princess Sanssouci, she is really not worthy of being his daughter-in-law.
Concubine Li Xian saw that the emperor was happy, and immediately laughed and said: "Yes, I have long heard that Princess Zhenbei and Princess Qi are friendly, and the two have known each other since childhood, so they are naturally more harmonious when they become concubines." ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, "The little girl's family is still lively and likable." ”
Nangong Shuyun looked quietly in his eyes, his eyes flickering.
Lu Ruoqing is really too difficult.
Beautiful, intelligent, scheming, and eloquent in speech, he is at ease at the royal banquet.
---- was simply impeccable.
If it's not an enemy, it's hard not to like her.
And he, if he wants to take away this beautiful, intelligent and resourceful woman, I'm afraid it is not an easy task, plus the iron-blooded and ruthless Xiao Shaoxuan, it is also a little tricky.
Soon, the little eunuch came over with the gem box and offered it with both hands, "Please take a look at Princess Zhenbei." ”
In order to make fun, Nian Ying deliberately said: "Let me take a look first." ”
Lu Ruoqing opened the box in front of her.
"Ahh Although Nian Ying was planning to perform, when she really saw the gems in the box, she was still surprised and inhaled, "Oh my God! That's too much, isn't it? ”
In the box of rosewood, lying are colorful various gemstones.
There are dozens of ----!
The ruby in the center is the size of a pigeon's egg, red as blood, and full of brilliance.
The diamond next to it is pure and flawless, and under the reflection of the light, it folds out a colorful and beautiful light, which makes people can't help but want to take it for themselves.
There are also sapphires as blue as the sea, emeralds that are so green as if they are about to drip out, and golden tophires!
Each one of them is shockingly beautiful.
Lu Ruoqing was also surprised, "There are so many ......, it's too much." ”
She originally thought, so a box of gems is only seven or eight like this, but she didn't expect it to be such a big box.
"That's a lot." The emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Let Princess Qi pick and choose, and then let Yongning pick and choose again, aren't you guys having a good time?" Playing jewelry together, it was also fun for the little girls. ”
"Thank you for your grace." Lu Ruoqing and Nian Ying said in unison.
The two sat down with a gem box, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.
At this moment, no one mentioned Princess Sanssouci anymore, as if the previous turmoil had not happened at all.
Nangong Shuyun naturally won't talk too much.
But in his heart, he was thinking about how to clean up the trouble for Princess Sanssouci and deal with the mess behind.
In fact, he didn't want to care about Princess Sanssouci, and even wished that she was clean when she died.
But no matter what, he couldn't make a deal when he returned to Nanshu, so he had to clean up for Princess Sanssouci for the last time.
When the feast was over, the crowd dispersed.
Nangong Shuyun left the palace, so he found an opportunity and quietly instructed his henchmen, "Remember!" It was someone who bought the girl next to Wu Wu, framed Wu Wu, and quickly let the girl commit suicide in fear of sin. ”
"Yes, understood." The henchman left lightly.
Nangong Shuyun returned home with a gloomy face.
In my heart, I scolded Princess Sanssouci seventeen or eighteen times, but I was still angry.
.
Princess Sanssouci was sent to the prison of the Zongren Mansion.
After being locked up overnight, the interrogation began early the next morning.
It's a pity that Princess Wuwu is the daughter of the queen of Southern Xinjiang and has the status of Princess Yu, so she can't be tortured like a prisoner to extract a confession, so naturally the interrogation for half a day has no results.
Princess Sanssouci kept saying, "I was framed!" I was wronged! ”
For the rest, I don't want to say a word.
The Zongren Mansion could not torture her, and she denied it to live or die, so the interrogation came to an impasse.
At this moment, a girl suddenly died in Yuwangfu, and she was also a girl next to Princess Sanssouci, so she suddenly hanged herself.
And, find some scraps of fabric in the girl's room, which happens to be the fabric of the witch villain!
In this way, it is natural that the little girl framed Princess Sanssouci.
Nangong Shuyun hurriedly went to the palace.
Asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, worry-free is wronged!" For the sake of the peace talks between the two countries, forgive her for the sin of disciplining her subordinates, and let her go back and reflect on it. ”
The emperor sat high in the dragon chair and looked down coldly.
Nangong Shuyun is quite anxious.
So quickly, he found a way out for Princess Sanssouci.
Although the method is not very clever, it is naturally not appropriate to collapse during the peace talks between the two countries, and it can be regarded as saving the princess of Sanssouci.
The emperor spoke: "In this case, then punish Princess Yu to be grounded in the palace for three months, copy the "Female Commandment" a hundred times, so that she can repent of her mistakes." ”
Nangong Shuyun was overjoyed.
Could it be that ......, the Emperor of the Central Plains exposed it so easily? It's good luck to have no worries.
However, the emperor quickly changed his words, "But I feel that it is precisely because the Southern Xinjiang Mission stays in the capital that Princess Yu feels that she has a guard of honor, so that she behaves presumptuously. ”
He coldly ordered the expulsion, "Within three days, the four princes and the southern Xinjiang mission will leave for China." ”
"What?" Nangong Shuyun was shocked when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the matter of Yuyun County, the south of Southern Xinjiang has not sent back any news." ”
The Emperor sneered, "What's the matter? If you don't stay here, will you regret returning Yuyun County as you promised? ”
Nangong Shuyun hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that. ”
"It's good if it's not!" The emperor snapped and said coldly: "If the Southern Shu Kingdom successfully returns Yuyun County, then the matter of Princess Yu will not be investigated in the future." ”
The subtext is that if Nanshu dares not to return Yuyun County, Princess Sanssouci will be convicted of the witch Gu case!
Curse the princess, and curse the princess of Zhenbei.
---- this charge is not easy to resist.
Nangong Shuyun naturally understood the threat in his words, and couldn't help but feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Damn it! Don't worry about this idiot!
is so dignified, he has to be such a useless moth, he was pinched by seven inches, and he had to leave the capital immediately!
The emperor's voice floated down, "Fourth prince, go back and prepare." ”
Nangong Shuyun said helplessly: "Okay! Thank you to the emperor for forgiving me for my trouble-free mistakes, I will go back and prepare to leave, and promise to leave and return to Nanshu within three days. ”
After speaking, he left with an expression of forced anger.
