Chapter 247: Brocade
As His Majesty's favorite concubine, Concubine Qiong naturally has more than one private treasury and countless treasures.
However, Sister Yan and Li are not unknowledgeable, they don't have any greed, they just appreciate it, and the three of them took a cursory look at it first.
Li now understands that what the queen and others want to see is Sister Yan, although she is Ling'er's mother, but she has only been in Beijing for a short time, these people do not look at themselves in their eyes, these people see Sister Yan, I am afraid it is also related to the affairs of the previous dynasty.
She has an indifferent heart, and she can't handle these things, and she doesn't care.
"Niangniang, the courtiers have always been interested in those calligraphy and paintings, today I saw Niangniang's private library, my heart yearns for it, I don't know if I can go to the calligraphy and painting library to visit for a while. ”
Concubine Qiong said in her heart, the Xie family is really smart people, Mrs. Xie obviously doesn't know why, but she knows to take the initiative to avoid it.
"Where, no one appreciates the treasures in the warehouse, it's a pity, I'll let people take Mrs. there, and Miss Xie and I will take a look at the others. ”
"Xie Niangniang. ”
The palace maid beside Concubine Qiong was busy leading the way for the Li family and went to the Tibetan Painting Pavilion next to it.
The other palace people were waved back by Concubine Qiong, "You guys go down, Miss Xie and I will appreciate it slowly." ”
The henchman stayed by the door and watched.
The two of them walked towards the treasure house.
"Concubine Qiong wants to make an appointment today, I'm afraid it's not because the courtiers match your eyes. ”
Concubine Qiong chuckled, it was also a charming gesture, and she looked very harmless, "Although the palace is looking for you for something to say, but Miss Xie is bright and moving, and it is true that she meets the eyes of the palace." ”
"Niangniang's time, presumably not much, let's make a long story short. ”
Concubine Qiong is not annoyed, but she likes her sister's decisive and non-muddy character very much, and working with such a person is better than those who are two-faced and three-edged.
"Then I won't be polite, the origin of this palace must be Miss Xie also knows that King Duan is the life-saving benefactor of this palace, and he sent this palace from an orphan girl to such a status, although this palace is unwilling to fight, but it cannot be ungrateful, and today this palace is asking for something. ”
"Niangniang is in a high position and is ungrateful, my sister is moved, but it is not enough to let the Xie family do things for Niangniang. ”
"This palace naturally knows its own catties, and the Xie family disdains the affairs of the harem, but in addition to asking for something, this palace can help you. ”
Hearing this, Sister Yan understood what she wanted to exchange, but she was unmoved, Seventh Brother didn't want to take the step of the harem, so there was no need to disrupt his plan, but it was not impossible to help him get to the bottom of it.
"My sister is stupid, please tell me clearly. ”
Concubine Qiong used her slender jade fingers to caress the ornaments beside her, her movements were gentle, but her tone could not be refused, "0 This palace wants you to keep King Duan, not to seek a high position, but to ensure his stability." ”
"Niangniang laughed, His Royal Highness King Duan is the prince, and the Xie family is just a courtier, how can he protect him, besides, Niangniang is so smart and reasonable, after so many twists and turns, can't you see that King Duan is not a person who is content with stability?"
"That's why this palace wants to think of protecting him, when the Japanese palace was dying, it was he who saved me, and now I do my best to protect him. ”
Sister Yan has seen a lot of stories of repaying her kindness like this, and although she is touched in her heart, she will not easily take her own promise because of the kindness of others.
Glancing at these treasures inadvertently, "Niangniang's worry is really a little sudden. ”
Concubine Qiong's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously avoided her sister's gaze, "This palace has already planned, but I haven't thought about who to cooperate with in order to protect King Duan." ”
Sister Yan seemed to say to herself, "Could it be that King Duan is brewing something that Niangniang thinks is very dangerous and can't protect him, so Niangniang is so eager to think of finding allies to protect him." ”
Concubine Qiong was shocked in her heart, she obviously didn't say anything, how did she guess it, but she still tried her best to keep her composure, "Miss Xie thought about it a lot." ”
As if guessing what she was thinking, Sister Yan nodded, "The courtier understands, and if she cares, she will be confused." ”
Concubine Qiong only felt that she could see through people's hearts, and she also went down the steps, "As long as you agree to the condition of this palace, this palace can help King Jun and ascend to the throne as soon as possible. ”
I thought that this would impress my sister, but I didn't expect my sister to refuse to agree.
"Sister Yan is a woman, only good at swordsmanship, what Niang Niang said, it is all up to her brother to decide, after Sister Yan returns home, she will definitely convey it to him word for word. ”
I don't eat soft and hard, and I have something to ask for others, which is really troublesome, no wonder Your Majesty is depressed.
I thought that this was an easy thing to handle, as long as my sister agreed, the Xie family would definitely not break the promise again, but I didn't expect it to be such an ending.
"In this case, the main palace is located in the deep palace, and there is a lot of inconvenience, so please reply as soon as possible. ”
"Sister will remind my brother. ”
"There is still one matter in this palace, please ask the Xie family to help this palace find out the cause of death of Duan Wang's biological mother, Concubine Jiang, whether it was harmed by others, and if so, who is behind it. ”
"Twenty years have passed since this matter, and it has nothing to do with Niangniang, why should Niangniang investigate. ”
"Because, some people rumor that Concubine Jiang was killed by Empress Yuan, this rumor is too strange, the palace has not been in the palace for a long time, there is no foundation, it is difficult to verify, King Jun's biological mother Concubine Nan is an old man in the palace, and she should know some clues. ”
"Why should we help you?"
"Because to help me is to help you, this matter will definitely be beneficial to you, the suspicions have been informed, whether you want to investigate or not, it is up to you. ”
Sister Yan looked at her and didn't say anything.
Concubine Qiong ordered someone to open the box and take a lot of brocade, give it to her sister, and pick a pair of heads and faces to give to her, and also picked two paintings and calligraphy to give to Li.
These are naturally to fulfill the previous words in front of His Majesty, and Sister Yan will not shirk.
Seeing that it was almost over, Li and his sister Yan went to thank the emperor for his farewell.
I saw that the two of them were followed by six or seven palace people, each holding a lot of things.
The emperor said, "It seems that you really like Sister Yan, Sister Yan will come to walk around more in the future and accompany Concubine Qiong." ”
"Courtiers, thank you for your majesty and your mother's love. ”
"It's getting late, so let's go back to the house first. ”
"The courtiers (courtiers) retired. ”
Wait until they're gone.
The Emperor naturally asked, "What did you talk to them about?"
Concubine Qiong said with a smile, "I just heard that Your Majesty wants to match the prince with a sister, then Miss Xie has a graceful demeanor, and the concubine selfishly thought that His Royal Highness King Duan did not marry a wife, and thought about whether she could probe the wind and draw a red line." ”
"The result?"
"Alas, I was politely rejected by Miss Xie. ”
The emperor looked at him with understanding, "You, you're really confused, have you forgotten what happened to King Duan and Sister Yan's niece Xie Yu a few days ago?" The Xie family is everyone, so they naturally pay attention to reputation, and they will no longer let Sister Yan and King Duan have anything to do with it." ”
Concubine Qiong looked annoyed, "Alas, the concubines have forgotten, they just think about being the first, forget about this stubble, and think they are smart." ”
"You, you're just too confused, if it's suitable, I would have decided on her a long time ago. ”
Concubine Qiong buried her face in the emperor's chest and said sullenly, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the concubines anymore. ”
Another group of people hurried into Qionghua Palace.
Father-in-law Xu directly let people go.
Concubine Qiong sat up straight and looked over, "What are these?" ”
Gonggong Xu covered his mouth and smiled, "It's not that Your Majesty knows that Niangniang likes plain colors, Niangniang sent a lot of treasures out, ordered someone to send a lot of brocade that Niangniang liked, and also sent a palace maid for Niangniang to drive." ”
Women have no resistance to clothing and jewelry, and Concubine Qiong was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Your Majesty, can the concubine take a look now?"
"I gave it to you, you can naturally see it, you can use it, it's just that I give you gifts every day, and you give them to others for nothing, I am really a loss. ”
is generous, but in his hand, he has been holding Concubine Qiong's hand.
Concubine Qiong's face turned red, "Your Majesty~, don't talk nonsense, all the things of the concubine are Your Majesty's, how can there be anything else to give to you, the concubine only has this sincere heart, and she has already given it to Your Majesty." ”
The emperor was very useful to say this, and let her see it.
The people in the palace all sighed that His Majesty's love for Concubine Qiong was really at its peak.
Li and his sister Yan left the palace without saying a word all the way, and it was already dark.
The two got into the carriage of the Xie family, and the Li family suddenly sighed, "Before you know it, you are already able to take charge on your own." ”
Sister Yan knew that her aunt was worried about today's affairs, afraid that she would be involved in disputes, after all, one was the queen, the most favored concubine in His Majesty, and the emperor who decided life and death with one word.
What has happened in the past few months, everyone has only seen their danger in letters, and when I see them today, they are moving among those in power, and I am even more worried.
Sister Yan said, "Auntie, don't worry, today's events are not good, but they are just temptations, and I can still handle them." ”
The Li family didn't ask, but said, "No matter how old you are, we are still worried about our parents, your seventh brother is a man, and the head of the Xie family, you will inevitably have to take responsibility, but you are carefree, you don't need to get involved in these things, it is better to wait for Your Majesty's birthday banquet to pass, you will live with us Su Yue for a period of time, accompany the elders, your grandfather, I miss you." ”
"Auntie, Seventh Brother seems to be on a firm foothold now, but in fact it is difficult, although I can't help anything, but if I stand by his side, he won't feel isolated, I'm here, and I won't be bullied left and right, don't worry." ”
"You are thinking that your seventh brother is taking care of you on your behalf, this is his own choice, you don't have to be like this. ”
Sister Yan shook her head, "That's not the case, last time Tian Shen advised me, don't immerse yourself in your own thoughts, I have already talked deeply with Brother Qi, the misunderstanding has long been resolved, I just don't want him to fight alone." ”
Seeing that she was resolute, Li had no choice but to say, "You guys, you guys are really more stubborn than the other." ”
"When the limelight is over, I will go back to visit the elders, auntie rest assured. ”
"You don't have to worry about us, just take good care of yourself, you see that it's only been a few days, all kinds of people want to get your marriage, even Your Majesty is tempting, how can we rest assured. ”
"Then it's up to them to see if their necks are hard or if my sword is sharp. ”
