Chapter 706: The Night Rain is Coming
The emperor just smiled, and didn't catch up with Rong Yunxi to play around, nor did he respond to her. Old husband and wife... Is that really the case? From the very beginning, he regarded her as his wife, but Wanxi ...... If the origin of all this is a calculation, how can he be her husband in Yunxi's heart?
It is undeniable that she does know him very well, which is why she can enter his heart so well. But he has never really seen through her and understood her, so he will be obsessed with her again and again.
In the Frost Dew Pavilion, even though the night banquet was approaching, Qin Yingyue was still wearing an ordinary palace skirt and did not dress up extraordinarily. And I didn't see any intention to have a banquet, just holding a wolf in my hand and practicing calligraphy on Bai Xuan. At this time, the tranquil state of the Frost Dew Pavilion and Qin Yingyue's own was incompatible with the joyful hurry in the entire Weiyang Palace. But partially, Qin Yingyue is still quite complacent, as if those beautiful buttocks have grown on the chair.
Writing this piece of paper to the end, Qin Yingyue put down the pen in her hand, and then raised her head and said to Xiao Tao: "If you go to Yilan Palace, you will say that I am not feeling well, and today's night banquet will not be over, and I hope that Niangniang will not blame." ”
At this time, Xia Guo and Xiao Tao were standing on both sides of the desk, Xia Guo was present, and Xiao Tao naturally wanted to make a show. Carefully persuaded: "Little master, today is a feast of the family banquet and the court banquet at the same time, and it is rare to have such an opportunity in the country for several years!" Why don't you take this opportunity to show your face in front of people and correct your identity? ”
Qin Yingyue smiled indifferently, looking like she had no quarrel with the world, and said: "Your words are true, but doing this is only good for myself, what good is it for Your Majesty and Yu Fengguo?" Instead of benefiting, it will cause trouble to Your Majesty. You also know that my identity is embarrassing, in such a prosperous world, how can people criticize His Majesty? ”
Xiao Tao listened, hung her head, and looked ashamed of herself. It seems that he has no place to be ashamed in front of Qin Yingyue's high wind and bright festival.
"Go ahead, but you'll have to run all the way. It's also that I'm late, I'm afraid that Your Majesty and Niangniang have already gone to Penglai Palace! Anyway, you must bring it to me, if I don't tell my mother beforehand, I will avoid this feast without permission, but I don't follow the rules! Qin Yingyue instructed carefully.
"Yes." Xiao Tao answered and hurriedly ran out.
After Xiao Tao left, Qin Yingyue took out a new piece of paper and began to practice calligraphy again. It's as calm as water......
Taking advantage of Qin Yingyue's concentration, Xia Guo looked up and saw that Qin Yingyue's handwriting was quite sonorous, not like a woman's handwriting, but like a man with a lot of pride.
For Qin Yingyue, she really doesn't understand it anymore. Obviously, what I saw in the Frost Dew Pavilion was a look of compromise and no quarrel with the world, but why were the rumors like this? And after getting along for a long time, she really thinks that Qin Yingyue wants to be smart, and it can't be this kind of person who doesn't fight or rob, but why can't she see any flaws anywhere!
In addition, when I saw Qin Yingyue's words today, I felt even more strange. How can a woman write in such a font? It's weird...... It is really amazing that a woman can do Qin Yingyue's job.
At the gate of Yilan Palace, there was a voice from a small palace daughter, but it was not Xiao Tao's. It's Qingping in Huo Xiaoyan's palace: "The noble concubine came to ask the queen for peace......"
Rong Yunxi and the emperor were just about to go out, and when they heard this voice, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both felt a little strange.
The emperor muttered directly: "At this time, she is not picking up in her own palace and is hurrying out, what is she saying in Yilan Palace?" Isn't that an extra move? ”
Rong Yunxi shook his head and smiled, and said, "Xiao Yan is a more sincere person, and she may not have the wisdom of Qingluo. ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and naturally understood what Rong Yunxi meant. But he still smiled: "It's just a child's heart, let her in." ”
Rong Yunxi smiled: "This is natural...... Zhiqiu, the concubine came in. ”
"If she has the understanding of Qingluo who retreats in the face of difficulties, it is not a good thing for me and the court." The emperor looked at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, and muttered. said that Huo Xiaoyan was a child's heart, but in fact, he didn't believe it himself.
"How can Xiaoyan and Qingluo be the same?" Rong Yunxi sighed, "Qingluo doesn't have any deep affection for you, at most it's just gratitude and admiration." What she cares about most is the stability of herself and her two younger sisters. After a long time in the house, I found that this place was not a safe place, and I knew that I had no use value for you, and I expected that if I was bullied in the future, the end would be miserable. So it's better to quietly ask us to resign, get our respect, and be safe. But Xiaoyan ......"
Rong Yunxi looked at the emperor, his eyes were quite meaningful, and he looked like "you know".
As he spoke, Huo Xiaoyan's footsteps had already arrived in front of the door. The emperor sighed and shrugged helplessly. Indeed, the reason why Wu Qingluo was able to let go of everything in the palace so suddenly and leave quietly was because he didn't have any deep affection for him. Maybe in a few confused thoughts, there were also thoughts that wanted to follow him for the rest of his life, but that was just a momentary mistake. If you calm down and think clearly, you will naturally no longer be obsessed. Ke Xiaoyan......
If it weren't for his deep affection, how could he make such a contemptuous calculation? She got all this today, it was all her own wish, it was all her own plan, how could she say that she was lost and took the initiative to let go?
"The concubine asks for peace ...... Your Majesty and Niangniang" Huo Xiaoyan paused at the door for a while, as if it had taken some effort to muster up her courage, and then said.
"Sister, come in......" Rong Yunxi said in person.
Huo Xiaoyan entered the house by herself, leaving Qingping outside the door. gave Rong Yunxi and the emperor a regular greeting ceremony, and said: "The concubine thinks that today's banquet, the mother must have a lot of trivial matters. Although the concubine was stupid, she could always do physical work, so she thought of coming over to help. I don't know if the mother can use it, but don't dislike the concubine! ”
Although her words are regular, they still reveal the rampant liveliness of the past. So much so that no matter what her intentions are here, at least this is not annoying to listen to.
Rong Yunxi only pretended not to understand her intentions, and only followed her words, and said with a smile: "There are so many servants in the palace who serve, and I can't let my sister do the physical work!" At this moment, the palace and His Majesty are about to go to the Penglai Palace, and since my sister is here, let's go there together. But hurry up, let the front wait too long, and who will be rude. ”
"Yes." Huo Xiaoyan didn't say anything, just responded in a proper manner.
In fact, the purpose of her coming here is to go to Penglai Hall with Rong Yunxi and the emperor to show her status.
Qingping gave her a suggestion, saying that there are few such family banquets and court banquets in the country, and now not only the harem concubines and the emperor's relatives, the courtiers in the country, but even the envoys of other countries have also come, if she, who is a concubine, can she show her face in front of people, can't she sit down and confirm the emperor's favor for her? can let everyone know that she is very favored in the palace.
She was surprised, "But this palace is not favored, it's just that there is no position for this concubine." ”
Qingping said, "But apart from the mother, who among the other ladies in the palace have been favored by His Majesty after entering the palace?" Aren't we all the same? They don't have such a blessing as a mother, and they don't have such a noble position as a mother! Since everyone has no lining, isn't it just this face that we can fight? ”
Qingping persuaded, "Although Niangniang's position is higher than that of other ladies in the palace, they don't seem to take it seriously, and no one in the palace cares about it, and they all think that Niangniang and other masters are the same people......"
"Mother, today is a great opportunity! Why don't you show your status more prominently, so as to confirm the difference from other mothers? Which one is more worry-free and effortless to compete with a group of rabble, or to elevate yourself to a position where you can compete with the queen mother, and only compete with the queen mother? Which one is more decent? ”
She felt that Qingping had a point. Thinking about it, although she doesn't care about her status in the palace, what she wants, although she can only see her often, but in the palace for a while, she has already seen it. In the palace, you either have face or lining, you can still live without you, but if you don't have face, you really have only one way to die.
In the palace, face is position. She can only say anything else if she keeps her position first.
So she came over at the behest of Qingping, and it wasn't to come earlier to help, but to be so obviously polite. Because if she had come earlier, the emperor and the queen would have sent her back if they said they didn't need to help? But now it's different. It just so happened that the emperor and the queen were also going to Penglai Palace, and they were closer to Penglai Hall from Yilan Palace, so there was absolutely no reason to send her back to go elsewhere, and they would definitely take her with them by the way.
Even if her intentions could be seen at a glance by the emperor and queen, she still had to do it. Because the emperor named her a concubine, didn't he originally want to give her status? Now it's just a matter of pushing the boat down the river, which makes her status more prominent, and the emperor shouldn't be too careful. After all, he has always been a carefree and casual person, and he is too lazy to take it to heart about people and things that he doesn't care about.
Unfortunately, she is a person he doesn't care about.
Huo Xiaoyan took Qingping and went out of Yilan Palace with the emperor and queen. As soon as I got out of Yilan Palace, I saw a palace daughter rushing all the way from the alley......
Xiao Tao asked the three masters to say goodbye, and then gasped and said to Rong Yunxi: "The little master of the slave family...... The little lord is not feeling well today and can't go to Penglai Palace. The little master specially instructed the slave maid to come over early to report to the queen, and hoped that the queen would not be strange. ”
"Oh? What's uncomfortable? Can you find a doctor? The emperor didn't think about it, so he asked casually.
Huo Xiaoyan couldn't help but glance at the emperor, Rong Yunxi just instinctively turned her head slightly, and then controlled herself, not looking at the gaze that should have fallen on the emperor.
Just as the emperor asked, "Yes, can you find the imperial doctor?" ”
After saying a few words, Xiao Tao's breathing calmed down a bit, and she replied, "Not yet." The little lord said that it was not in the way, but he had a headache and tiredness, and he was afraid that the wind was blowing when he was walking outside today. I guess it's good to take a break, and I don't want to bother. ”
Rong Yunxi had already heard that Qin Yingyue deliberately couldn't refuse, but just now the emperor was concerned about the chaos, so she didn't hear it. Therefore, after Xiao Tao finished speaking, Rong Yunxi did not say anything, but looked at the emperor and waited for the emperor's words.
