Chapter 240: Phoenix Ring
When the lights were first on, Ye Tanghua woke up faintly, but what caught her eye was not the bed she was used to, she half stood up and opened the red silk beaded tent to look out, only to see that the night had sunk, and the house was dyed with hundreds of red candles, reflecting the house as if it was day, but there was more daylight.
Ye Tanghua turned over and got out of bed, pulled the embroidered silk loafers and walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked out, only to see that the flowers were faintly visible outside, but they were extremely remote, she suddenly came back to her senses and looked out of the door, and what she saw through the door frame was the stairs.
Are you in a building...... Floor?
Ye Tanghua's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and she looked back at the scenery outside, and gradually realized in her heart, this is Weiyang Tower, right?
Knowing that this is Weiyang Tower, she also roughly guessed Qi Jingzhi's means, although I don't know what method he used, but he must have successfully used a concubine who is similar to her to marry on her behalf, so she will now appear in Weiyang Building instead of Concubine Guifei.
In all fairness, Qi Jingzhi's approach is indeed not outrageous, anyway, the two of them are exactly the same, since they can mix the eyes of Nanli and Nan Mi who have seen her, then they should be able to fool her, but this practice is also very problematic, the biggest problem is that nominally "Ye Tanghua" has married to Xiliao, so what should she do? She can't restore her identity, she can't want her to live secretly for the rest of her life, or simply break the jar and live a lifetime in the name of this concubine, right?
No matter what the result is, she can't accept it! How could she avoid her former friends and relatives for the rest of her life, and she couldn't stay in the palace for the rest of her life and pretend to be a concubine!
Ye Tanghua thought about it, couldn't help frowning, looked at the flowers and trees in the garden and sighed.
"Why did you get up and blow the wind before you got well? Nanyan doesn't have to be Nanzhao, the wind is still cold at this time, so he stands on the tuyere with such a big grin, and he doesn't put on a piece of clothing, so beware of catching a cold. Suddenly, Qi Jingzhi's voice came from behind him.
Ye Tanghua came back to her senses suddenly, and was about to call Qi Jingzhi out loud, but suddenly found that Qi Jingzhi was still followed by many palace people, and Ye Tanghua couldn't just tear down the stage in front of people, so she had to pull out a smile and give a salute: "Baozhu has seen Your Majesty." ”
Qi Jingzhi smiled and stepped forward to help her up: "Get up, don't be polite, it's windy here, go in and talk." ”
"Yes." Ye Tanghua didn't resist, and obediently followed the person into the back room, Qi Jingzhi glanced back: "I have something to say with the concubine, you put down your things and go back." ”
These palace people have often followed Qi Jingzhi over in the past few days, and they have long been accustomed to Qi Jingzhi's command, and they have been politely courteous, and one palace person put a red lacquer box on the small table next to the bed, and they all bowed down and retreated.
As soon as the people were gone, Ye Tanghua immediately couldn't wait to speak: "Your Majesty ......"
"Okay, there's no outsider here, so there's no need to settle for those false courtesies, just sit down and talk." Qi Jingzhi seemed to have expected Ye Tanghua to say something, cut off her words in advance, walked to the bed and sat down, and patted the position on her side again.
Ye Tang frowned without a trace, walked over and sat down according to his words: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by arranging it like this?" ”
"What do you mean? I don't mean anything. Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at Ye Tanghua's serious appearance, and reached out to pinch Ye Tanghua's face: "You girl is so frowning on weekdays, I think you should laugh and laugh." ”
"The emperor still shouldn't joke about Tang'er." Ye Tanghua's face turned red, and she hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the past.
Qi Jingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly: "What, I look like I'm joking?" ”
"This is natural, Tang'er is not a real concubine, you are not in accordance with the rules by doing this......" Ye Tanghua explained awkwardly.
Qi Jingzhi suddenly stretched out a finger and put it on her lips, and winked at her with a smile: "Shh, you can't talk nonsense, now that the princess of Qingshang has already married Xiliao, you call yourself Tang'er, it's too strange, the concubine's name is Baozhu, right?" ”
"But, but Tang'er is not a concubine!" Ye Tanghua was in a hurry, and couldn't help blushing.
Qi Jingzhi laughed lowly: "In this deep palace, what does it matter if it is or not?" For Nan Yan and Nan Zhao, as long as there is such a person as Concubine Guifei, it is enough to show the peaceful relations between the two countries, right? As for whether this concubine is Princess Baozhu herself, how did Nanzhao know? ”
Ye Tanghua was stunned, she always felt that the development of things seemed to be beyond her expectations, and she couldn't help biting her lower lip: "But, but now it is Tang'er in front of you, not Princess Baozhu herself!" ”
Qi Jingzhi raised his eyebrows at her: "Do I look like I don't know about this?" ”
"Since you know, you should understand that Tang'er can't become the princess of Baozhu, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime! Tang'er is your cousin and niece, how can she do the same thing as your wife and concubine! Ye Tanghua's face flushed, and she argued.
Qi Jingzhi didn't answer, just got up with a smile, took the red lacquer box from the table, came back and sat down, and handed the red lacquer box to Ye Tanghua: "Open it." ”
The second monk Ye Tang was confused, but he still obediently opened the box according to Qi Jingzhi's instructions, and what caught her eyes was a pair of mandarin duck bracelets, exuding a faint luster under the cover of red candles.
"Do you know?" Qi Jingzhi asked.
Ye Tanghua nodded, she had seen this bracelet many times, and it was still on Ye Mu's wrist until this morning, how could she not recognize it? This is the mandarin duck bracelet that was inexplicably put together into a pair a few days ago, and Ye Mushi still took it and said that she was going to scare the Mu family, but she never figured it out, how could a pair of bracelets scare the Mu family, who were well-off? What is the secret of this bracelet?
"Any idea what this is?" Qi Jingzhi asked again.
Ye Tanghua shook her head.
"This is called the Mandarin Duck Bracelet, because the bracelet body is green, only a little red is in it, so it is also called 'a little red in the green bush', but in the royal family, this bracelet has another name, it is called" Phoenix Ring ", because it should have been given to his own queen by each generation of emperors, but something went wrong in my hands, I was young and did not do anything more, and I actually gave it to Mrs. Ye, but the old lady and the old lady of the Mu family were scared half to death, and the old lady who had always refused to let go of Mrs. Ye's marriage immediately changed his attitude, In less than a month, Mrs. Ye was married, and speaking of which, Tang'er should thank me. ”
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty......" Ye Tanghua smiled embarrassedly, and was silently calculating in her heart, what Qi Jingzhi meant when she said this, only passed on the queen's phoenix ring, but it was given to Ye Mu's by Qi Jingzhi, although Qi Jingzhi himself said that it was a little more important, but is this really the case? Or did Qi Jingzhi really have a heart for Ye Mu's at the beginning?
Qi Jingzhi's hand stroked a little red on the bracelet: "When I saw you in Cining Palace, I felt that the cinnabar in the center of your eyebrows was really commensurate with this bracelet, but Mrs. Ye lost one of the bracelets soon after she got married, and I was embarrassed to ask for it back, so I could only secretly regret it, but I didn't expect that when I went out for a walk with Tang'er at will, I met this lost bracelet...... Does Tang'er know, how did this bracelet get into that pawnshop? ”
Ye Tanghua shook her head again.
"It's that Chen Jiao, she turned out this bracelet in the house where she lived, and wrapped it out together, the court didn't know the goods, but only opened the price of one hundred taels of silver, Chen was even more confused, full of promises, she didn't know how precious this bracelet was, the two bracelets were reunited, it was a priceless treasure, just this one bracelet, it was worth at least one thousand taels...... Although this thing seems to be a coincidence, but in my eyes, this can be regarded as the will of heaven, Mrs. Ye got married, and the mandarin duck bracelet was lost, I met Tang'er you, and the bracelet was lost and recovered, isn't this still the will of heaven? Since the will of heaven is like this, it is not easy for me, the son of heaven, to go against the sky, this bracelet should be owned by Tang'er, and I will obey the will of heaven. ”
Qi Jingzhi said, took off the pair of bracelets, and put them on Ye Tanghua without saying anything: "Although Tang'er's wrist is white, it is too slender, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that it will slip off...... But since Providence wants this bracelet to be in Tang'er's hand, even if Tang'er loses it, Heaven will send it back, right? ”
"But the emperor, this bracelet should have been the queen's thing, you gave it to Tang'er, it's really not in line with the etiquette......" Ye Tanghua struggled twice and didn't move, so she had to let Qi Jingzhi put the bracelet on her, looking at this bracelet, how awkward it was, this warm and shining bracelet is now like a pair of shackles, handcuffing her in the palace and handcuffed in Weiyang Tower!
Qi Jingzhi paused slightly, stroked the jade bracelet with his fingers, and finally gently held Ye Tanghua's hand and smiled at her: "Tang'er said this, did she think that the position of this concubine was too low, and I didn't make you the queen?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Ye Tanghua was startled, and swooped back her hand from Qi Jingzhi's hand and put it behind her back.
The palm of his hand suddenly lost his temperature, although Qi Jingzhi was slightly disappointed, but he was not discouraged, he just smiled lightly: "It's not that I don't want to do this, it's just that the queen and I are a young husband and wife after all, the prince is now older and has his own power, although the Han family is not in tune, it is also the feather of that kid, this kid can take the right phase for his own use, and he is also a little capable, I can't let him become a concubine, besides, nominally, this princess Baozhu is a Nanzhao person, how can I not make a foreigner the queen...... But it doesn't matter, the Yeguang Yuan Weiyang Building does not belong to the East and West Six Palaces, even if the queen is the lord of the six palaces, but she has no right to control you, and your position is not low, in this palace is one person under ten thousand people, if someone really troubles you, you don't have to be patient, just like weekdays, you should scold, if something happens, I will support you......"
