096 Involuntarily (and updates.)
Hongyan was already in a state of dissipation, gagged with a horn, she was afraid that she would cry too loudly, but at this moment, she didn't know what else she could do except cry. Is everything in front of her a nightmare, when will she wake up and when will she be able to escape?
"Hongyan? Is that you, Hongyan? Hongli saw the person in front of him clearly, and woke up with excitement, all the drunkenness from last night disappeared, and he called someone in. Manager Wu, who had stayed up outside for most of the night, rushed into the door with a roll, and said in pieces: I knew that something was going to happen, something was going to happen.
Hearing that someone was coming, Hongyan wrapped himself tighter with a quilt, and when the emperor saw this scene, he shouted to Chief Wu: "Stand down, don't come closer." He got up in a hurry, wrapped a piece of clothing in his hand, and put down the tent tightly, and the chief steward Wu had already lit up the room, holding the emperor's clothes and trembling, and said, "Your Majesty...... What do you command? ”
"What's going on? Why is she by my side? Hongli didn't speak loudly anymore, glanced outside, and asked with anger, "How do I remember that it was the queen who sent me back, where did the queen go, and where was she?" ”
Mr. Wu's legs were limp on the ground, if he knew why, would he still need to be so afraid: "The slave only knows that when the mother left last night, she said that the emperor had rested, and asked the servants not to come in and disturb, as for whom, as for who is serving by your side, the slave is also ......."
"You don't know who it is?" The emperor was so angry that he wanted to kick at Chief Wu, could it be that an assassin could be let in, and they also said they didn't know? But he still stepped on the ground, and the coolness from the soles of his feet made him more sober, since it was the queen's order, only An Yi knew all this.
"You stand down first." Hongli's throat rolled hard and turned his back.
Mr. Wu glanced at the impermeable tent, no need to guess, there must be a red face inside, if it was an ordinary palace maid, the emperor would not have such a big reaction, how many officials and women in the palace lived in obscurity in the corner of the Forbidden City overnight, the emperor never cared, for him to have all this, it was logical.
But the red face is different, and those who are in love are most afraid of breaking their hearts.
After Mr. Wu retreated, Hongli stepped forward to open the tent, the room was bright, and they could see each other more clearly, and some smudges on the mattress that emerged from under the quilt were shocking to him, and the red face curled up in the corner, the delicate body had been trembling, and the tears kept flowing down from the pale cheeks as if they had broken the embankment.
"What happened?" Hongli sat down, he was afraid that standing and asking questions would make Hongyan panic even more.
But Hongyan didn't want to appear in the same bed with the emperor at all, and as soon as the emperor sat down, she shrank back again, but there was no room for her to hide herself, so she almost buried the whole person in the quilt.
"Calm down and tell me what's going on." The emperor calmed down and said as calmly as possible, "I don't know anything now, I ...... I didn't even know I had touched you. ”
This sentence makes Hongyansheng loveless, there is a strange pain in the private parts of her body, there is unsightly filth on the bedding, the emperor and her are not clothed, there is no need to ask for any hope, she betrayed the queen mother even more shamefully than Baozhen.
Hongyan was already tired of crying, and she couldn't even grab the quilt wrapped in herself, the emperor didn't ask her again, they just sat silently like this, I don't know how long it took, only to see the sky outside the window getting brighter, when the dawn was coming, the emperor got up and said: "I want to go to the early dynasty, the early dynasty can't be mistaken, if you still can't think of anything, wait here first." According to the rules, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to pick you up, and if you accept your kindness, you are ......"
He looked back at Hongyan, the person in front of him was only afraid that he would want to die headlong, where was she willing to be her own woman, he hurt An Yi, and now he hurt Hongyan to the point that he was incomplete, in the final analysis, it was all his fault. There are so many women in the world, why are they so popular.
It's dawn, the emperor can't leave the government affairs alone, no matter how big the harem is, it can't be as big as the country and the people, but God knows how chaotic his heart is, when the time comes, the people outside come to serve, and the manager Wu should have been dizzy all night, but at this moment he was very vigilant, and heard the emperor instruct him: "Don't let the people from the Internal Affairs Office come to take her for the time being, wait for me to come back, if the queen comes, let her wait together." ”
When he was about to go out, he said, "Prepare hot water and clean clothes, and let no one go in, but let her come by herself." ”
Hongyan, who was hiding in the corner, saw someone bringing hot water and putting down her clothes, they left without saying anything, maybe they didn't even know who was hiding in the tent, she felt very uncomfortable under her, and she wanted to tidy herself up, but this was the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she didn't even have the courage to climb out of the tent.
With the emperor's ascension, the entire Forbidden City woke up. In the Changchun Palace, Qianya came to serve the mother to wash, and saw the queen sitting straight on the couch, looking haggard as if she hadn't closed her eyes all night, she felt uneasy, and another thing that made her herself sleepless all night was that her red face was gone.
When she was going to look for Hongyan last night, she was met by the princess, who said meaningfully: "Hongyan is where she should be, you don't have to worry about it." So I didn't see her come back all night.
"Niangniang......" Qianya still wanted to ask, and timidly mentioned, "Hongyan didn't come back last night, Niangniang, do you know where Hongyan went?" ”
The queen glanced at her in a daze, then looked out the window at the sky, and a cold smile crossed her eyes: "It's really peaceful, nothing happens." ”
Qianya didn't dare to ask anymore, and took the other palace maids to dress up for the queen, and waited for He Jing to get up, as usual, she took her to have breakfast together, dozens of dim sum were placed on a full table, and He Jing pointed to a plate of milk dumplings and said: "That one is left for Hongyan, she likes to eat it the most." ”
The queen's heart trembled, and she lowered her eyes and continued to eat the food in the bowl.
The early dynasty in front of the Qianqing Gate was dispersed, and the emperor rushed back to the Yangxin Palace after the court, but the queen did not appear.
In the house, the hot water has been turned into cold water, the clean clothes are folded aside, and the tent has not moved at all. He thought that Hongyan was dead, and reached out to touch her face in a panic, and Hongyan, who was so tired that she had fallen asleep, suddenly woke up, her red and swollen eyes were overflowing with fear, and she saw the emperor's hand stretched out, biting her lip and not daring to make a sound, and her whole body trembled so much that it made people feel cold.
"You?" Hongli wanted to say something, but Hongyan was too pitiful, like porcelain that had been riddled with holes, and if he touched it more, it would be wiped out, he couldn't help it, threw down the tent and turned back to find Mr. Wu, "Find two grandmothers, the kind one with a kind face, come to wash her, and I will go to the side hall and wait." ”
Chief Manager Wu promised, and when he saw that the things and food sent in had not been touched, he sighed in his heart, but the emperor who was walking in front suddenly turned around and ordered: "Go to Changchun Palace to invite the queen, tell her that Hongyan is here with me, and let her come to discuss this matter." ”
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also have to report, the Queen Mother must be alarmed, if you don't go to tell first, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will have to think more, this matter is not a big deal, don't you say?" Manager Wu thought that this matter had developed to this point, and he would have less trouble in the future, otherwise he would always have the emperor's thoughts, and he would have to avoid the queen and stare at Hongyan, but now that he has it, Hongyan has really become the emperor's woman, and no one can snatch it away.
"You go and arrange, I will wait for the queen to come in the side hall." Hongli felt a little negative in his heart, he knew that he was sorry for An Yi, but this matter must be arranged by the queen, why did she do this, he obviously never intended to have a red face, he never intended to hurt his wife with such a thing, but now, there is no way to get it back.
Manager Wu didn't sleep all night, his feet were like stepping on cotton, but he had to run around, he expected the reaction in the Changchun Palace, anyway, it was arranged by the queen, what else could she do. But here in Ningshou Palace, Manager Wu really didn't want to face the Queen Mother in person, so he invited Mama Hua out and said it carefully, and Mama sighed repeatedly: "What kind of sin has this been created?" ”
Mr. Wu: "Mama, when you talk to the Queen Mother, you have to be careful, some things are not right, but you have wronged someone, and made things ugly, and in the end the emperor will be embarrassed." ”
Mama immediately understood, when she said this, the queen mother must have felt that it was the queen's arrangement, so the relationship with the queen would inevitably collapse, as long as they conveyed the news first, everything would be solved by the masters themselves. So Mama Hua turned back to Ningshou Palace to inform the Queen Mother, only saying that the emperor had accepted a palace maid in the Yangxin Palace to say a word to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother really didn't care, and ordered lightly: "You go and see what kind of person it is, if you look good and have a good character, come and tell me again." ”
Outside the door of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the queen's sedan chair fell, and the neatly dressed people came, and the fat powder covered her sleepless haggardness, but before she was about to walk in the door, the emperor's figure strode out of the door, he was also neatly dressed, and under the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, there was an angry face.
"Let's go to Ningshou Palace." Hongli said, turned around and went in the direction of Ningshou Palace, the queen panicked, didn't know what Hongli was going to do, and stayed in place and didn't dare to move.
"Come with me." Hongli saw that there was no movement behind him, turned around and ordered again, only to see his wife trembling, her face showing her usual stubbornness, Hongli walked back and grabbed her hand, almost never glared at his wife like this, and only said, "Go to Ningshou Palace and make your words clear." ”
The queen bit her inner lip, the pain made her sober, she didn't expect Hongli to be so ruthless, he actually pushed her to the queen mother, did he know that the queen mother's words would stab her, did she know that she had been under the pressure of her mother-in-law's self-righteous intentions, but now, did he still send himself to his mother to humiliate.
But in front of the public, the queen did not dare to openly disobey the emperor, and he took his hand and walked forward, and let go as she walked, and the two silently walked through the lengthy palace road until they walked to the gate of Ningshou Palace.
The moment she stepped through the door, the queen whispered, "You really want to do this?" ”
Hongli was angry: "Otherwise? ”
They both broke into Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother was pruning the flower branches under the eaves, and when she saw the two coming side by side, she greeted each other with a smile, but seeing that the momentum was wrong, the Queen Mother put down the scissors and signaled the other palace people to retreat.
"Early in the morning, what's going on?" The queen mother was worried in her heart, thinking that Mama Fang Cai said that the emperor had accepted a palace maid, and thought in her heart that the queen couldn't even tolerate a palace maid, but when she saw the queen, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, Mama Hua hadn't replied yet, what kind of palace maid was it, should it?
"Huang Eniang, my son was confused last night, and he left a red face and did something sorry for the queen." Hongli opened his mouth and bowed slightly, "My son doesn't know how to face the queen, and he also asked the emperor to come forward and give the queen a step." ”
The queen's spirit was shocked, she never expected that Hongli would say so. He didn't ask himself why, she didn't have time to explain her grievances, but Hongli took it alone.
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, and only asked after a while: "I asked the queen to send you back to rest last night, why is there something wrong with that red face?" ”
The emperor bowed his head and said: "My son was drunk, and he just left a red face, the queen persuaded and begged to no avail, and was driven back to Changchun Palace by his son last night, and the queen Gu Quanzhen's face was silent, but my son woke up today, and I am really sorry for the queen." ”
The queen was teary-eyed, choked up and couldn't say anything, what was she doing, this was indeed the situation she wanted to see, she wanted the queen mother to see with her own eyes, it was her son who was sorry for herself, not that she was not qualified as a queen, but she really saw it, and it was so broken.
"Sheng Shi Taiping, what are you crying about, Queen?" Seeing the queen tearful, the Queen Mother couldn't help but say angrily, "What a big thing, for a palace maid, you made these things before and after, as for it?" Let me see, the three-foot white silk sent her on the road, what is the guilt, what is the excuse? Emperor, have you forgotten who you are? As soon as he shouted, Mama Hua stepped forward and threatened to give Hongyan death.
The queen was shocked when she heard this, and opened her mouth to beg: "Huang Eniang, Hongyan is innocent, and she is a concubine......"
But the emperor interrupted her words, stopped in front of his wife, and said to the queen mother: "If my son wants to ask Eniang to come forward, I will say that you will give your son a red face, give your son a step, and give the queen a dignity." ”
The queen mother was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she didn't respond for a while, Hongli actually knelt down in front of her, and the queen was so shocked that her face turned pale, so she had to kneel down. Seeing that this matter had not been turned around, Mama Hua stepped forward and persuaded: "Queen Mother, you will come forward to say something, just say that it is placed by the queen's side to be trained, and the person who was chosen by the emperor in the morning, what you say is what you say, who dares to talk more." ”
The queen mother left her son and daughter-in-law, turned around and entered the door, she didn't understand that she was just a little palace maid, how could she turn the sky upside down, and the emperor wanted to make such a big move, at this moment Hua Mama saw that she avoided the emperor, and said: "A thousand mistakes, the emperor and the queen are in harmony and affection, you don't bear it for them, which one do they expect?" Queen Mother, just nod your head. ”
In the palace of nourishing the heart, Hongyan was served by two gentle grandmothers, and Hongyan was so ashamed that she couldn't open her eyes when she bathed, but she understood that she couldn't help herself and was powerless to struggle, and gradually her head was blank, at the mercy of others, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had been cleaned up and tidy.
