Chapter 226: Debate
"Liu Mingxi?" At first glance, when he heard this name, Luo Yao was stunned for a moment.
It took him a while to react, and he pulled out the beautiful woman he had brought back from Jincheng from the depths of his memory.
When he first arrived at the palace, Liu Mingxi was indeed favored for a period of time.
And for the provocation of the harem concubines, she boldly went back, not caring about the concubines' face at all.
At the beginning, Luo Yao still liked her like this, and felt that she was real and unpretentious, different from those smiling tiger-like concubines in the harem.
But after a long time, Liu Mingxi made more and more troubles, and he became more and more inch-in, always thinking about stopping Luo Yao's sole favorite.
In the eyes of the concubines in the harem, Luo Yao's love for Liu Mingxi is completely phased, but he has never seen this type in the palace before, so he met by chance, and he was newly pampered for a long time.
After all, Liu Mingxi is not good-looking, has a gentle personality, and has no special shining points, it is certain that he will fall out of favor, and it will not take too long.
It is rare for the concubines in the harem to be consistent, and they did not confront Liu Mingxi face-to-face, but chose to endure everywhere, accumulating all new and old hatreds, and only waiting for Liu Mingxi to be beaten to the dust one day, from a favorite concubine to a cold palace concubine, they will directly return everything.
If the concubines played tricks with Liu Mingxi all day long, maybe Luo Yao would think that Liu Mingxi was really temperamental, and the rest of the concubines were treacherous villains.
But this time, they all humbly gave in to Liu Mingxi, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would not embarrass Liu Mingxi...... In this kind of situation where the other party gives in everywhere, Liu Mingxi's behavior is a little too arrogant.
And this kind of high-flying and domineering woman, Luo Yao quickly got tired of it.
He thought that Liu Mingxi hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, so he just assigned her to a small palace, and she still didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but she couldn't see the emperor for a few days.
Now being reminded by An Juan and Luo Yelin, Luo Yao gradually remembered what had happened.
He patted his head: "Concubine Liu should be in her palace now, are the imperial brothers and Miss An interested in going and seeing?" ”
Luo Yelin didn't have much interest in Liu Mingxi, but he suddenly thought of An Di's painstaking plan, so he glanced sideways at An Xuan, and also got her gaze with a little interest.
So, he turned his head and nodded to Luo Yao: "Since the imperial brother is willing to let us go, then we must go and see the specific situation of Miss Liu." ”
"Alright, you come with me." Luo Yao stood up, walked to the door of the imperial study, and slammed the door open with a thud.
Concubine Jing and Concubine De were sitting under the tree not far away, and when they saw the door of the imperial study being opened, they all stood up in a hurry, lowered their heads and tidied up the clothes on their bodies, and then stepped forward: "Your Majesty......"
Seeing that his two favorite concubines actually coexisted peacefully, Luo Yao made a surprised expression and asked with a smile: "Didn't you two say that 'old age and death don't get along', why did you suddenly come to look for me together?" ”
In private, Concubine Jing and Concubine De didn't know how many times they rolled their eyes at each other, but now in front of Luo Yao, even if they felt uncomfortable, they still reluctantly smiled and made the illusion of sisterly affinity: "Your Majesty always speculates, in fact, the relationship between the concubine and her sister is very good." ”
After that, Concubine Jing looked at the door of the imperial study, and saw that the girl who had passed by the imperial garden before was coming out of the door.
Her heart sank, and just as she wanted to take back the smile on her face, she saw a figure come out of the imperial study again.
It's Luo Yelin.
And after walking out of the door, Luo Yelin directly stretched out his hand and hooked An Juan's wrist.
After looking around and seeing that there were people around, An Juan struggled his wrist a little embarrassed, but Luo Yelin still held on to it, and the smile on his face was genuinely sweet.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Jing's mood suddenly became a little complicated.
An Juan is Luo Yelin's concubine, not Luo Yao's concubine, this discovery made her heart relax all of a sudden, but then, she was a little sad - after all, Luo Yelin used to be the existence of countless young girls, and now she is getting married......
The mood is always a little lost.
Luo Yao chatted with Concubine Jing and Concubine De for a while, then turned around and greeted Luo Yelin and An Juan: "Brother Huang, Miss An, let's go see Concubine Liu." ”
After speaking, he directly let go of Concubine Jing and Concubine De's hands, and took Luo Yelin and An Juan to the depths of the palace.
If An Juan walked alone in the palace, it is estimated that countless concubines would have a crisis mentality, and they would not be able to sleep well that night.
But An Juan and Luo Yelin appeared in front of everyone hand in hand, and the effect was different.
In less than an hour, the appearance of Prince Ye's concubine spread all over the Forbidden City, and everyone did their best to praise An Juan as beautiful as a fairy, and even said that An Juan and Luo Yelin were a match made in heaven, and the two of them were really worthy together.
Everyone spoke like this, in addition to sincerely feeling that the two of them were very compatible, there was another reason.
There are no concubines or palace maids and eunuchs who can be stationed in the harem who can't read people's colors and don't know the master's temper.
But because of this, everyone understands An Juan's fatal attraction to Luo Yao.
Luo Yao, who has no resistance to beauties, if he really makes up his mind, it is not impossible to snatch his brother's wife...... Anyway, the emperor is the biggest existence in the world, and no one can disobey what he is willing to do.
If An Juan was really robbed of the harem by Luo Yao, just by virtue of her appearance, she would be able to be favored for a long time.
The concubines in the harem don't want to have such a strong opponent.
Therefore, they all rushed to express their appreciation for Luo Yelin and An Juan, a pair of beautiful people, so as to dissipate Luo Yao's mind little by little, so that he would hinder the public's opinion and not do this kind of thing.
Soon, Luo Yao took An Juan and Luo Yelin to the palace where Liu Mingxi lived.
This palace was far away from Luo Yao's residence, and there were dead trees and fallen leaves all the way, and people's moods were also dull.
When Liu Mingxi was demoted here, Luo Yao was in a rage, and he didn't care about the location of the palace and the surrounding environment at all, so he directly ordered a relatively remote place and stuffed Liu Mingxi in.
Now walking on the road calmly, Luo Yao's mind is full of the intimate past with Liu Mingxi, and he stepped on the creaking dead leaves, and felt a little sorry for Liu Mingxi for a while.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Luo Yao looked inside, only to see one or two subordinates sitting lazily in the courtyard basking in the sun, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in an old atmosphere.
Seeing that none of them reacted, and no one came to greet His Majesty, the little eunuch who followed Luo Yao cleared his throat and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is coming, why don't you hurry up and salute!" ”
His voice succeeded in waking up the drowsy subordinates, and they reacted, and then trotted up to Luo Yao together, saluting with a deferential and uneasy expression.
"It's okay," Luo Yao suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered them as calmly as possible, "I want to see Concubine Liu, you can take me in and have a look...... By the way, don't make a sound. ”
There was a big palace maid beside Liu Mingxi who led Luo Yao to Liu Mingxi's room.
On the way, Luo Yao paid attention to the furnishings and decorations, and found that they were all very shabby, and even some of the iron products were rusty, and a small piece of rust was laid on the bottom of the iron statue, which looked very uncomfortable.
Liu Mingxi was taking a nap on the couch.
Because she knew that she would not have the opportunity to see Luo Yao, she directly stopped wearing makeup and wandered around the palace all day without makeup, because her lips were not bloody, and at first glance at night, she was like a wandering ghost.
Luo Yao didn't know what to do with makeup or not, he just felt that Liu Mingxi's complexion was more than a grade worse than when he was favored, and he looked very pale and weak.
He frowned, turned around and asked the big girl next to him, "Why is Concubine Liu like this?" ”
The big girl subconsciously wanted to say that she didn't wear makeup, but she quickly reacted and understood that this was an opportunity to counterattack and go back.
She knelt on the ground with a "plop" directly, and the sound of her knees touching the ground made An Juan's teeth a little sore.
"Your Majesty, after being sent here, Niangniang was looking forward to you coming over all day long, and in the first few days, she looked out of the door stupidly, and she didn't want to ...... Or the slave maid and a few sisters persuaded the mother for a long time, and she gradually came back to her senses and was able to eat and sleep well, but she still didn't want to go out, saying that there was no His Majesty outside, so what was the point of going out? ”
They made such a loud noise in the house, and Liu Mingxi was not a pig, so he naturally woke up easily.
But before she could fully open her eyes, she heard the words of the big girl.
After the maid finished speaking, Liu Mingxi also realized what had happened.
…… Luo Yao actually came to see her!
Before the ecstasy in her heart was completely released, she heard the maid make up a long list of falsehoods.
In fact, Liu Mingxi was not as infatuated as the big girl said, she was a calm person, even if she was a little sad after being driven away by Luo Yao, but it was not to the point where she didn't want to eat, but she sighed a few times, and then adapted to the environment, eating, sleeping and exercising.
Anyway, staying in the harem, her food and clothing are top-notch, and she has a lot of books to read, and her life is okay.
But now Luo Yao is actually here......
Liu Mingxi held his breath and planned in his heart for a long time before making the next move.
Her eyes were still closed, but she reached out and waved them in the air as if she had been caught in a nightmare.
Luo Yao saw that Liu Mingxi's behavior was very strange, so he stepped forward and restrained Liu Mingxi's wrist, and then asked with some concern: "Mingxi, what's wrong with you, but you're not feeling well?" ”
Liu Mingxi didn't hear Luo Yao's inquiry, still trying to wave his arms, and at the same time kept muttering: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
