Chapter 31: The Female Crown (Part II)

The main hall of Chang'an Palace. In the red glazed animal ear incense burner, the incense of agarwood continues to ooze out a long and simple aroma, the fragrance is far and clear, and the mind is calm. Not far away, on the incense table of the five-legged pedestal of Huanghuali, the candle shadow shook red to the night, and occasionally an unknown small insect flew past the candle flame, making a slight sizzling sound, dyeing a gorgeous light and shadow.

Concubine Ji De was wearing a red satin plate and gold embroidered female python cloak, sitting quietly on the Huanghuali lamp hanging chair, her eyes were like a calm lake, and she looked at the two people in front of her.

On the cold marble floor in front of her, Jiang Shaoheng, who was dressed in white, and Princess Luoxue, who was in a green dress, knelt down. Both of them stared with bated breath and remained silent.

Concubine Ji De spit out a cold sentence for a long time: "Shaoheng, Xue'er, you two are too disappointing to this palace!" ”

"Mother, how can you blame Xue'er? If you hadn't forced Xue'er to marry the king of the Joseon dynasty of Narauszi, Xue'er would not have left the palace. You obviously know that what people like is ------" Princess Luoxue said this, her eyes rolling on Jiang Shaoheng, who was dressed in white.

Concubine Ji De's eyes were a little helpless and doting, and she sighed for a long time before she said: "That's it, after all, it's because I love you too much on weekdays, so that you are reckless and arrogant and willful now." ”

Princess Luoxue stuck out her tongue and argued in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, Xue'er depends on you for other things." Last time, you instructed me to go to Fubi Pavilion to lead Jian Wenying to Concubine Quan's sandbank, but I did everything you commanded. ”

Concubine Ji De glanced at her, and Luoxue lowered her head in fright, not daring to talk back to her again.

She raised her hand and said, "For my mother, I have punished you for thinking about the wall, and you are not allowed to go out of the palace for ten days." Stand down. ”

The falling snow was like an amnesty, and shouted loudly: "Yes." After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Shaoheng with pity, and ran out as if flying.

Concubine Ji De looked at the back of the falling snow and Qingli, and let out a sigh of helplessness: "This palace is getting old, and until now, no one is willing to listen to the orders of this palace, and no one cares about it." ”

Jiang Shaoheng's gaze, like a faint mist in the autumn morning, gently fell on Concubine Ji De, with a bit of coldness and alienation. He said slowly and bluntly: "Shaoheng doesn't dare. ”

Gently brushed the tired silk inlaid gemstone golden phoenix hairpin on the sideburns, and the bright yellow phoenix pattern on the hairpin was like a sharp golden sword, stabbing people's eyes painfully: "Shaoheng, you don't dare, why have you repeatedly opposed this palace three times recently?" This palace raised you, raised you, taught you, and is this how you came to repay this palace? ”

Jiang Shaoheng's Qingyuan eyes added a hint of guilt: "Shaoheng ------" came to his lips, but he never knew how to say it.

"Don't you tell Bengong that you really like the girl of the Jian family?" Concubine Ji De's eyes were as sharp as ice edges.

Jiang Shaoheng's shoulder shook suddenly. In front of his eyes, what appeared in front of him was Jian Huaizhen's elegant and dignified figure. She is as bright as the autumn moon, her face is like Shunhua, she has the virtue of a happy wife and the talent of thanking her daughter. It's a pity that the west wind hates a lot, and it can't blow away the eyebrows, and some people are destined to become the past, leaving only the vast sea of clouds in the old dream.

Concubine Ji De took the case, her eyes were cold and resentful: "Shaoheng, this palace sent you to approach Jian Wenying to monitor the actions of Jian Huaizhen and the Jian family. If you pay your sincerity wrongly, it will be too disappointing to this palace! ”

Jiang Shaoheng only felt that his heart was sour, his throat was like choking, and he said in a low voice after a while: "Shaoheng knows his mistakes." ”

"It's good if you know your mistakes, and this palace can't bear to punish you deeply, I just hope that you can change your mistakes, and don't live up to the cultivation and hard work that this palace has given you!" Rufei straightened her waist, and an elusive light leaked from her eyes.

"Yes. Shaoheng understood. The aroma of agarwood incense filled the air silently, Jiang Shaoheng only felt that the aroma was strong, and his heart was like blood.

Concubine Ru smiled slightly, and in an instant, her sharp phoenix eyes had already changed to the color of surging smoke and water: "Last time, this palace ordered you to intercept and kill Jian Huaizhen in Fubi Pavilion, you show mercy to her subordinates, I can not blame the past." You saved her life at Jinshuiqiao, I read that you are young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that you will be obsessed with your children's private affairs, and you can not be held accountable. It's just that this time, this palace ordered you to hunt down and kill Li Yuanzheng, why did you let him go again, and it was a big deal for me? Do you know how serious the consequences of letting him go are? ”

Jiang Shaoheng's elegant eyes flashed a trace of confusion, he shook his head and said, "Please make it clear, I would like to hear the details." ”

The concubine bowed her head and sighed: "I heard Xue'er in this palace that Li Yuanzheng only loves Jian Huaizhen alone, so he refuses to marry my daughter." If Jian Huaizhen is really the daughter of Lian Siyao's cheap maid, won't he become a big trouble for this palace in the future to help Jian Huaizhen deal with this palace? ”

"What the mother said...... Extremely, yes. This time it is not as good as others, please forgive me. Jiang Shaoheng's voice carried a long sigh.

In the eyes of the concubine, there was a deep dark cloud: "Or you don't agree with the means of this palace." But don't forget, Lian Siyao's slut is ruthless and vicious, and your sister Jiang Yanyun was beaten to death by her. If it weren't for the fact that this palace saved you, you would also become the soul of Lian Wan's subordinates. ”

Jiang Shaoheng was silent for a long time, and Fang tied his hands and said: "Niangniang's life-saving feelings and nurturing grace, Shaoheng will always remember in his heart. Shaoheng is willing to go to the soup for his mother, and he will never give up. ”

Concubine Ru bowed her head arbitrarily, tapped the table with the tortoiseshell jeweled jade sunflower nail set on her jade hand, and seemed to ask casually: "You have been staring at the Jian family brothers and sisters for some days, but you can find anything wrong with the two of them?" Especially the girl from the Jane family. Bengong always looked at her a little bit of the appearance of practicing the maid in the past, and felt very uncomfortable. ”

Jiang Shaoheng was slightly stunned, and then calmly looked back at Rufei: "Jian Wenying has a bright and hearty temperament, and she is a person who can't hide her words. Miss Jane is just an ordinary and weak lady, and Shaoheng didn't find anything wrong with her. ”

Rufei's pair of Danfeng eyes looked Jiang Shaoheng up and down for a moment, and saw that there was no discoloration on his face, so he said slowly: "In this case, you have to keep an eye on them." ”

Jiang Shaoheng's gaze was a little frozen for a while: "Shaoheng obeys the will of Niangniangyi." ”
