Chapter 23: Woe
The long song cloud platform is decorated with a water-colored gauze tent, and the tent is embroidered with golden chrysanthemums. Gorgeous flowers of late autumn are placed in every corner, both gold and red, and you can smell a strong fragrance of flowers on the table. The aroma is very good, and the smell makes people feel comfortable and warm. Pillow Spring smelled it for the first time, and only sighed that the palace was luxurious, so he sent the peach blossom to secretly pinch one and hide it, ready to go back to make a sachet.
Peach Blossom is accustomed to these interesting things, and she moved her steps behind the red pillar to see and fold a delicate red chrysanthemum, and offered the treasure as if she had to show it to the pillow spring.
"Hide it quickly, show something, this is the flower arranged by Concubine Mi. If she sees it, she will not beat you. Pillow Chun whispered joking, but no one heard it.
The eye-catching ones at the banquet are Concubine Mi and Xianjieyu, and the others can't speak. If there is something strange, it is that Concubine Qi Shufei is still sick and is not under the seat.
Concubine Mi wore a glittering gold-embroidered Yaotai jade-style wide-sleeved dress, and a little petal red in the center of her eyebrows made people charming. I heard that the waiter came to report that Concubine Qi was sick and could not go to the banquet, and she was very sorry: "Sister Concubine Qi is the most considerate person, and if she doesn't come to the banquet today, she misses her very much." β
Qi Jieyu stroked her bulging lower abdomen and echoed: "That's right, when the concubine knew that she was pregnant, she didn't see Concubine Qi Shuniang." β
The attendant who reported made a salute, and Mu Beiyi, who rushed to the head, said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi said that the weather is cold and her body is becoming more and more uncomfortable, and she begs Your Majesty to have mercy, so I have time to take a look." β
Concubine Mi's face suddenly turned cold.
Pillow Chun was so bored that he looked around, and took in Concubine Mi's expression, which showed that Concubine Mi was still afraid of Concubine Qi.
Mu Beiyi's recent government affairs are not heavy, and Concubine Qi Shufei is also an old person. He looked at the chamberlain and asked, "Is it serious?" I'm free to take a look. β
Concubine Mi only replied: "The weather is getting cooler and uncomfortable, and when the concubine saw her today, she coughed twice when she saw Sister Jieyu." β
"Ahem." Qi Jieyu immediately understood, covered her lips and coughed twice to divert the topic, "It's not in the way." However, the imperial doctor said that the concubine was pregnant for seven months, so it was ...... When I first entered the palaceβ"
Mu Beiyi's eyes moved back. Jieyu's body became heavier and heavier, and the loose Du Ruose Su embroidered dress couldn't cover her abdomen. If nothing else, Xuehua will be able to give birth to an heir next year. His eyes softened a little, and he said, "Naturally, be careful." β
Yan Jieyu smiled when she got the care: "Naturally be careful, I have been a little uncomfortable these days, I think it's because of my heavy body." The aunt who was waiting said that the child in July had grown up, and the pointed fingers on the concubine's stomach might be a prince. The concubines then saluted His Majesty with water instead of wine. β
The topic returned to the table, and Concubine Qi's invitation was gently dialed by Concubine Mi. The pillow spring case sighed that Jieyu was so blessed, and she got pregnant just after entering the palace in March, and it was really the right time and place. Pushing the cup and changing the lamp on the table really makes people feel tired, and the pillow spring is bored after watching it for a while, peeling an orange and eating.
"Jie Jieyu is naturally the best blessing in the new palace." Concubine Mi also toasted a glass of wine and said with a smile, "The few upstarts who entered the palace in the spring this year can't catch up with the honor of Jieyu." Xian Jieyu dominates the leader, and she has the most sacred heart, but don't you want to thank the upstarts for conceding? β
Concubine Jieyu held it in her heart, and smiled on her face: "Yes, yes, all my sisters are good." Then he raised the water cup, the appearance of the left and right, got up and drank wine, "Salute Liu Concubine and Liu Meiren." At the beginning, the three of us lived in the same house in Shuya, but today we are different. β
There is a hint of irony in this remark. Liu Anran and Liu Meiren's faces are not good-looking. Pillow Chun looked at Liu Anran, Liu Anran was also looking at her, Pillow Chun gently shook his head to signal him to be a little restless.
Qi Jieyu slowly walked to Liu Anran's side and smiled: "Concubine Liu? β
Liu Anran sighed secretly, the current situation was only to endure humiliation, so he simply raised his glass and drank it.
"Concubine Liu is happy. Why doesn't Liu Meiren move? "When Jieyu took two steps forward, she was going to persuade Liu Meiren to drink.
Liu Meiren was the person of Concubine Qi in the past, and she couldn't see Jieyu's frivolity. She has a simple temperament, and any dissatisfaction is written on her face, and she is also a first-class nobleman in her family. I saw her waving her hand and refusing: "I don't like this smell of wine." β
The hand that persuaded Jieyu to drink had just been raised, and she was stunned by this choking sound. When did she receive such a refusal, she also made a temperament, and handed the wine to Liu Meiren: "Oh, Liu Meiren doesn't give face?" β
"I don't love this!" Liu Meiren held her head high and refused to admit defeat.
As soon as Jieyu got started, she was going to pinch Liu Meiren's jaw and insisted that she eat wine.
Pillow Chunyin saw Mu Beiyi knocking his fingers impatiently, as if he felt that this meeting was a little unorthodox.
But looking at this, Liu Meiren's mouth pursed, she was very impatient, and she thought for a while that she was the daughter of an auxiliary minister, why should she be idle by the daughter of a lord who became a monk halfway. The grievance came to his heart, so he shouted: "My father is a Zhongshu Ling!" Your father has no merit, but he relies on the Queen Mother to be crowned! As he spoke, he gently pushed Jieyu away.
At that time, the song "Huaiyin Pingchu" was being played on the long song Yuntai, which was exciting.
Jieyu was pushed and stumbled slightly, and her lower abdomen fell on the edge of the table.
Pillow Chun heard a "sigh" from afar.
The musician who played "Huaiyin Pingchu" was frightened, plucked off the strings, and made a jerky "bang".
When he turned his head back, he only saw Jieyu falling on her lichen, and the blood on Du Ruo's skirt was infected one by one.
"Jie Yu!" Concubine Mi suddenly saw it, and her voice changed in fright.
Mu Beiyi took the case, but when he saw that the blood on Jieyu's lower body was gushing like a spring, he quickly dyed his white lichen: "Don't give me the imperial doctor yet!" β
Jie Jieyu's delicate little face quickly turned pale, only one hand held her abdomen, and the other wall gently sneered: "Your Majesty...... Save me...... Liu Meiren, why are you ...... My emperor ......" didn't say two sentences, he was in pain and fear, and he passed out.
Liu Meiren was so frightened by the sudden change in front of her that her legs were weak, and she quietly slipped down according to the table, muttering, "Your Majesty...... It's not me......" She opened her frightened eyes and saw the blood under Jieyu's body smeared and stained her shoes red, before she woke up and exclaimed: "It's not a concubine!" The concubine didn't use any force gently! How can this table be covered with a soft cloth...... Your Majesty! It's not a concubine! β
Concubine Mi hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty is angry, Liu Meiren didn't think about it on purpose to murder the imperial heirββ"
"Yes, yes, the concubine didn't mean it!" Liu Meiren trembled with fright, and hurriedly kowtowed, but she felt that something was wrong, "No, no, no...... The concubine didn't plot to kill the emperor's heir! β
Mu Beiyi was stunned, his sword eyebrows were tightly clenched, his thin lips were pursed, and his chest rose and fell with his breathing: "Take the Shuren Liu down and give him a staff to kill!" After that, he brushed his sleeves and got up, went straight to pick up the unconscious Jieyu, and urgently called the imperial doctor.
Pillow Chun knelt down with everyone, and watched the Son of Heaven hold the concubine who was pregnant with his heir, but passed out of the long song Yuntai. As he left, he could vaguely see his clothes covered with blood.
Pillow Chun suddenly felt a little pity for him. Everyone said that he was affectionate and so frivolous that Jieyu was so frivolous, but he still cared for her for the sake of his heirs; With the background of the eldest prince, he also gave pen and ink to study. It's just a jerky father, and now seeing such a scene, how can it not be sad.
Liu Meiren crawled two steps and wanted to catch up and plead, so she immediately asked Concubine Mi to call the guards to cover her mouth and drag her out. She had her hair loose as she struggled, and her embarrassed appearance was terrifying.
Pillow Chun thought, Mu Beiyi was very angry. Liu Meiren is the concubine of Zhongshuling, and the old prince didn't dare to attack when he saw it, he said that he would be killed. Liu Meiren died, and Mu Beiyi had to deal with the entire Zhongshu Province to appease him, but he still insisted on going his own way.
Changge Yuntai knelt on the ground, all of them were full of horror, and they didn't dare to move.
