261, Unexpected Confusion (2)
"That's right, the emperor will not be willing to talk to his courtiers about these private matters, so the words of the envoys of the Southern Dynasty must be his own initiative Yuan Hong nodded slightly, he himself is the emperor, and naturally understands the thoughts of those who have a respected status, that is, he wants to see what everyone thinks in their hearts, but he doesn't want anyone to see through his secrets.
Feng Miao frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "This person who secretly instigated must be very familiar with the people and things of the Southern Dynasty, could it be the same person who wrote that letter last time?" ”
Yuan Hong raised his hand and stroked her eyebrows and said, "I also sent spies in the Southern Dynasties, and I have been cultivating them for many years, so that they can be used once in a while. Finding out and delivering news is the most mind-consuming, and it is by no means something that one or two people can do. He put his arm around Feng Miao's shoulders and asked her to rest her head on his lap, her long hair flowing down his fingers like a waterfall.
"Miao'er," Yuan Hong whispered in her ear, "just leave these things to me, I don't want to see you worried and upset, it will make me feel like a failed husband." ”
"Well," Feng Miao agreed softly unconsciously, but she was still thinking about the details of the front and back in her mind, she raised her hand and climbed up to Yuan Hong's neck, and said indistinctly between his delicate kisses, "Maybe...... You can think of a way to lure out the person who sent the letter. ”
Just after midnight that night, a fierce quarrel suddenly sounded in the Huayin Palace.
"The concubine's younger brother has the title of Duke of Beiping County, and his appearance is among the best among the unmarried nobles, so if he wants to marry a princess who has been married and lives in the palace, how can he be considered high?" Zuo Zhaoyi Feng Miao's voice was a little aggressive that is rarely seen.
"I said that whether Sister Yao wants to marry again or not depends on her own will, and I will not allow anyone to force him again." In Yuan Hong's voice, there was also a faint suppression of anger, but it did not erupt.
"The princess who married that kind of stupid husband once killed herself and injured herself," Zuo Zhaoyi sneered coldly, "If it weren't for the love of the sixth princess, even if she took the initiative to marry, the concubine wouldn't want such a woman to enter the Feng family." ”
"Zhaoyi, don't say it again, I don't want to hear such words." The emperor called her title in front of Feng Miao for the first time, and he was obviously very unhappy. Secretly, I don't know how many pairs of ears there are, and I listened to the movement in the Huayin Hall upright, wishing that the two of them were arguing more fiercely.
"What, did the concubine say something wrong?" Zuo Zhaoyi's voice was still clear, "Her short-lived husband may have been killed by her, and someone else dares to marry such a woman, she should burn three incense sticks in front of the Buddha." ”
"Enough!" The door of the Huayin Hall was slammed open, and Yuan Hong stood at the door, hurriedly tying up his cloak, "It seems that I am too arrogant and indulgent to you on weekdays, you have forgotten what the virtue of the concubine is, don't let me look at you and get bored!" Yuan Hong also seemed to be very angry, strode along the wooden bridge on the water, and when he reached the other side, he kicked the bridge pier, as if he was venting his anger.
Through the half-open vermilion lacquer door, you can vaguely see Zuo Zhaoyi hanging her head and sobbing, and a maidservant girl stepped forward to close the temple door.
Feng Miao rarely speaks loudly, but after a few quarrels today, she felt uncomfortable tightness in her chest.
Su Wen saw that her face was not very good, so she hurriedly brought the medicine for asthma, and served her to drink, "Niangniang, okay, where are you and the emperor making this trouble?" She knew that Feng Miao would not be the kind of person who was spoiled and spoiled, and she would not do anything to ask for a princess to marry on behalf of her younger brother, and she always felt that this thing was strange.
Feng Miao shook her head lightly, and only asked, "Huai'er wasn't woken up, right?" Su Wen turned into the inner hall to take a look, and came back to say, "The little prince is still sleeping soundly, and the mother can rest assured." ”
"That's good," Feng Miao sighed, "Starting tomorrow, you will tell Huai'er that my father is busy with state affairs, and I can't come to accompany him for a while, Huai'er is a sensible child, as long as you explain the reason to him, he will definitely not cry." "Anything she does now, she must first consider not hurting Huai'er, even if it is just to make him sad a little. It was precisely for Huai'er's sake that she must find out the person who sent the letter, so that no one would make a fuss about Huai'er's turquoise eyes in the future.
The news in the palace always spread faster than the spring wind, and the news of the quarrel between the emperor and Zuo Zhaoyi soon spread throughout the palaces and halls. Some people even speculated with great interest that Zuo Zhaoyi's favor was coming to an end, after all, the emperor was also a man, and when he couldn't get it in Qingyan Temple, he wanted to scratch his heart and scratch his liver, and when he really welcomed him back to the palace, he felt tired, and he inevitably wanted to change some fresh tastes.
That night, Yuan Hong did not review the chapter in the dormitory, nor did he go to the Huayin Palace, but went to Wang Wan's Hancui Palace. Although he only listened to her play the piano for a while, he didn't stay overnight, and he didn't miss her, this news still made the palace masters who were already like ashes excited. The emperor hadn't been to the bedrooms of other concubines for a long time, and there was only one Feng Zhaoyi in his eyes, and everyone else was like clay puppets. But this time, the direction of the wind in the palace seems to be really changing.
Outside the emperor's bedroom, there were palace concubines who asked to see him from time to time. Some people dressed up in fancy clothes and poured a thick layer of incense powder, wanting to win the emperor's approval. Some people stewed nourishing medicinal food with their own hands, wanting to win a virtuous reputation in front of the emperor. Sometimes Yuan Hong was in a good mood, so he allowed them to go in and sit for a while, and sometimes he was busy with affairs, so he simply refused.
Only Gao Zhaorong, who was recuperating in the Shuangming Palace, still lived in a simple house, and did not go to the emperor's bedroom like everyone else to pay his respects.
Half a month has passed, and Yuan Hong has not gone to Huayin Hall again. One evening, he had just reviewed the chapter, and he originally only told the inner eunuch around him that he wanted to go out for a walk, and he followed the familiar road, and somehow walked near the Huayin Palace. Through the dark water, I saw the lights in the hall flickering in the distance, and the slender and gentle woman was feeding the child in her arms spoonful by spoonful.
He watched silently for a long time, and was about to turn away, when he bumped into a person. There is no light on the water around the Huayin Hall, and it is not easy to see the near situation at night. When the little eunuch heard the sound, he immediately shouted, "Who dares to rush into the emperor? ”
In the dark night, a timid voice came, "Rong'er meets the emperor and asks the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Yuan Hong carefully identified it for a long time by means of the hazy moonlight, and then said, "Why is Rong'er here alone, aren't you recuperating?" Okay? ”
Gao Zhaorong quietly took a step back, raised his hand to comb the light veil covering his face, and his voice became more and more cowardly, "Not yet...... However, the imperial doctor said that concubines can come out and walk around, which is good for the body. The concubines didn't dare to come out during the day, for fear that the emperor and her sisters would see it and be unhappy, so they only dared to come out for a walk at night. ”
As she spoke, her voice was a little choked, "The concubine came here, and she was also a little selfish, she wanted to see Ke'er, and when she saw that Sister Feng took good care of Ke'er, the concubine was at ease." She didn't know if Feng Miao had said anything to Yuan Hong, if it was-for-tat, the emperor might not believe her words, so she blindly only said Feng Miao's benefits, but it seemed generous and pure.
"Rong'er, let me see how your rash is?" Yuan Hong raised his hand to unveil her.
"Your Majesty, please, don't look at ......" Gao Zhaorong grabbed the lower edge of the veil with his hand, and pleaded, "The concubine looks very ugly now, I'm afraid that the emperor will be bored when he sees it......"
Yuan Hong comforted her softly, pulled her along the palace road for a few steps, and stopped in a slightly brightly lit place, "It doesn't matter, I can't wait to see how your rash is, if it's not good, I should tell those imperial doctors to be more careful." ”
Gao Zhaorong slowly let go of his hand, motionless like a frightened deer, but his body tensed slightly because of nervousness. Yuan Hong lifted her veil, and a delicate and white face was revealed in the glowing light. Most of the rashes have disappeared, only a few spots are still distributed on the cheeks, all of which are covered by Gao Zhaorong with peach petals. Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, a gust of wind blew, and a few petals fell to the ground with the night wind, revealing a small red mark, which did not make people feel ugly, but showed a bit of playfulness.
"Rong'er even has a rash, and she is different." Yuan Hong simply removed the remaining petals and looked at her face with a smile. The skin is probably carefully maintained, and it exudes a luster like white jade.
Yuan Hong held her hand, "At this time, Ke'er was probably asleep, and when you met me, didn't you ask me to go to your Shuangming Hall to drink a cup of tea?" ”
Gao Zhaorong opened his eyes, revealing an irrepressible surprise and pleasure, "Rong'er is only afraid that her appearance will be rude and annoy the emperor, since the emperor does not dislike it...... Please come with Rong'er. ”
After drinking a cup of tea for more than half an hour, it was getting late, but Yuan Hong still had no intention of returning to the dormitory. Gao Zhaorong was proud in his heart, those who took the initiative to go to the emperor's bedroom were really stupid, and what could be more exciting to see than an encounter. Since she heard that the emperor and Feng Zhaoyi were out of harmony, she went to wander outside the Huayin Hall every night, those words had been thought out a long time ago, and those actions had been rehearsed a long time ago, deliberately bringing a little bit of Feng Miao's shyness and innocence when she first entered the palace, but it did not hide her own posture and charm.
"Your Majesty, it's better to rest earlier...... Gao Zhaorong's face turned blushing, and he stretched out his hand to remove his robe for Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong subconsciously raised his hand and pushed her away. Gao Zhaorong staggered a few steps, leaning on the sandalwood Four Seasons Map screen behind her before standing, she said with a little puzzlement and grievance, "Your Majesty, it was Rong'er who was reckless." ”
"It's not your fault," Yuan Hong came back to his senses and held her soft and boneless arm, "It's me who thinks that your illness hasn't recovered yet, and I can't bear to let you work too hard, so I'm just going to rest outside, you should go to sleep early." ”
Gao Zhaorong didn't force it, but only asked the palace maid to bring a good brocade quilt, and made the bed for him with her own hands, and then transferred to the inner hall.
Since Feng Zhaoyi returned to the palace, this was the first time that the emperor rested in a place other than the dormitory and the Huayin Palace. The Shuangming Palace, which was deserted, suddenly became lively, and even the imperial doctor was much more diligent than before, not only personally preparing the medicine and sending it, but even asking for the pulse became three times a day.
In the Huayin Palace, Feng Miao asked Su, "If it is a jealous Zuo Zhaoyi, what should I do at this time?" Su Wen laughed and replied, "You should give this newly favored concubine a little color, and then go to the emperor to try to win back the emperor's heart." ”
Hearing this, Feng Miao also smiled, "Let Lingshu prepare a few snacks, how about this palace try to be a jealous woman today." ”
