Chapter Ninety-Eight: Two Thoughts
Kunyang Palace, the curtain shades the wind, the charcoal fire is warm, and the spring is harmonious.
"Queen Mother······ The crown prince and Empress Yixian sat opposite each other, with a sad face, shaking half a cup of herbal tea in his hand, and sighed faintly.
Empress Yixian looked as usual, and her eyebrows and eyes were even more comfortable, raising her glass and drinking herself, and she was content.
Huangfu drank all the residual tea in the cup, frowned, and sighed again.
Empress Yixian raised her eyes and glanced at him, and asked casually, "What made the emperor sigh so much?" ”
Huangfu frowned even tighter, and said, "Doesn't the queen mother know about King Mu's entry into the palace?" ”
"What if you know, what if you don't know?" Empress Yixian's eyes deepened, her ten fingers were slender, and she drank a cup of herself.
"Queen Mother, you don't understand the mood of the son-in-law, King Mu's entry into the palace is not a good thing for the son-in-law, the son-in-law has been fighting with King Rong for this supreme position, and the son-in-law has no more energy to beware of King Mu. Erchen was really anxious. Huang Fu Yi complained.
"In a hurry, in a hurry, what?" Empress Yixian put down the teacup, her eyes were like torches, and said, "King Mu is just an outcast, with no power and no power, not to mention stupid, what are you worried about?" ”
But his father summoned him at this time, and even let him enter the palace once a month in the future, which shows that his father began to attach importance to him. How can Erchen not be in a hurry? ”
"Important?" Empress Yixian chuckled lightly, and sneered, "The matter of the Heavenly Ghost Gate and the rebellion in Yanzhou is pressed on him, not so much attention as surveillance, how easy is it for him to turn over?" ”
Hearing this, the emperor pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "What the queen mother said is true, but the sons still think that they must beware of King Mu. ”
Empress Yixian said disappreciably: "King Mu is not afraid, what you have to do now is how to please your father and beware of King Rong." As for other little things, the queen mother will watch it for you. ”
"Erchen understands." Huangfu nodded and said, "Queen Mother, you should spend a little bit of time with your father, and the retainer heard about it······"
"What did you hear, I heard that Your Majesty stayed in Yiluo Palace last night?" Empress Yixian sneered, "A slave will always be a slave, a little Liangdi, this palace is afraid that she will ride on the head of this palace?" The emperor can rest assured that as long as there is this palace in this harem, it can only be the world of this palace. ”
In fact, Huang Fuyi was not worried about his mother falling out of favor, he always believed in Empress Yixian's wrists. It's just that he himself is uneasy, so he inevitably thinks about things and becomes a little suspicious.
"The son trusts the queen mother." Of course, he also believed in himself.
"Tomorrow is the day when King Rong will go to the western border, have you arranged it over there in the Taiwei Mansion?"
"The queen mother can rest assured that the sons have handed over this matter to Qi Anhou to do, and it is guaranteed that nothing will go wrong."
"Peace!" Empress Yixian's eyes sank, and she said coldly, "He is really a person who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to openly refuse the princess of this palace, if it weren't for the fact that he is still useful to the emperor, this palace will punish him for the nine clans." ”
Empress Yixian has always been angry at Baili Peerless for rejecting Princess Junhuang, if it weren't for the intercession of Huangfu Yi and Huangfu Junhuang, she would have already moved the Qi'an Hou Mansion.
The emperor was shocked to hear this, but he didn't think so. As long as Baili peerless does things for him, it doesn't matter if he marries Huangfu Junhuang or not.
"The queen mother, Qi Anhou is a talent, and the sons rely on him very much." Huang Fu Yi is to keep the peerless for hundreds of miles no matter what.
"Hongu understands. That's why the palace told your father to remove the secret guard. That lowly woman in the rivers and lakes, this palace will find time to dispose of it in the future. ”
"Thank you for the fulfillment of the queen mother."
"Emperor, you have to understand that everything the queen mother does is for you, and you don't want to disappoint the queen mother." Empress Yixian's eyes were soft, and she looked at Huangfu and said softly.
"Erchen understands that Erchen will live up to his mother's expectations."
Empress Yixian nodded with satisfaction.
"Qiyu Niangniang, Zhaoyi Niangniang asks to see." Wen Xiang, the personal palace maid, came in to report.
"She's finally here." The corners of Empress Yixian's lips hooked up a sneering arc, and she said coldly.
"The Queen Mother knows she's coming?" Huangfu was puzzled.
Empress Yixian smiled, her smile was cold, and said, "She only came because of His Majesty's stay in Yiluo Palace last night, and this palace will see how arrogant she will be?" ”
"Then the queen mother, the son retreated." The emperor said respectfully.
Empress Yixian nodded and said, "Emperor, you should step back first." Wenxiang, let's go. ”
Huangfu respectfully retreated, and Wen Xiang helped Empress Yixian to change to the Fengluan Hall of Kunyang Palace.
Fengluan Hall is the place where the queen receives the concubines. On the Luan seat, the phoenix pattern is exquisite, luxurious and noble, and has a luxury and atmosphere that cannot be ignored.
Liu Zhaoyi sat down and saw the phoenix pattern on the Luan seat, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
If she hadn't come from the weak Seven Nights Country in the northern grasslands, this back position would have belonged to her, and Su Huan, the slut, had only ascended to this back seat by relying on her family power. How can she be convinced?
One day, her prince will take the supreme position in the world, and she will also regain the throne that belongs to her.
However, the hateful thing is that her prince, the prince who has entrusted all his hopes in this life, has also learned to resist her.
But it doesn't matter, he's her child after all, and he'll be by her side no matter what.
A smile appeared on Liu Zhaoyi's gorgeous face, as if this imperial power was within reach.
"The Queen Mother has arrived." The voice of the palace maid pulled back her senses, and her expression became cold.
And Empress Yixian, with the support of Wen Xiang, came slowly.
Liu Zhaoyi didn't get up, but picked up the tea on the table and drank it by herself.
Seeing this, Empress Yixian's expression remained unchanged, as if she had become accustomed to her rudeness, but the cold light flashing in her eyes showed the anger in her heart.
"Bold, the queen mother has arrived, why don't you kneel?" Wen Xiangliu raised her eyebrows and said angrily.
Liu Zhaoyi elegantly put down the teacup and raised her eyes, her gaze was dark and dark, like two sharp blades shooting at Wen Xiang.
She was born extremely beautiful, but at this moment, her eyes were cold, her eyebrows and eyes were sinister, and Wen Xiang, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes with Empress Yixian, couldn't help but feel chills in her heart at this time.
But she still pretended not to be afraid and looked at Liu Zhaoyi.
"Hahaha······" Liu Zhaoyi suddenly smiled, but her eyes were still cold, "Is the good slave trained by the queen mother so ignorant of the rules?" ”
Empress Yixian's eyes were cold, with a smile on her face, and she said unhurriedly: "When it comes to understanding the rules, who is comparable to the noble Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”
Liu Zhaoyi's smile froze, her eyes flashed, and there was a soft smile on her face, and she said with a smile: "The concubine heard that His Majesty stayed in Yiluo Palace last night, I wonder if the queen mother heard about it?" ”
Her smile gradually distorted, with a hint of sarcasm, and she sneered gloating in her heart: "Su Huan, you slut, I didn't expect you to have today." ”
Empress Yixian's heart was full of frost, but the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she even brought a smile: "This harem belongs to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can stay where you want, is my sister dissatisfied with Your Majesty when she says this?" After speaking, he squinted at her, with a contemptuous cold light, and sneered in his heart: "Liu Wenhui, do you think you can mess up the palace like this?" It's whimsical. ”
didn't expect to be bitten back by her, and Liu Zhaoyi had another hatred for Empress Yixian in her heart.
"Where is the queen mother, how dare the concubines be dissatisfied with Your Majesty." Liu Zhaoyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, her face showed grievances, I felt pity, "The concubine is wronged for the queen's mother, she is just a little good, but I didn't expect that she was bold and dared to compete with the queen's mother, it is really a crime that deserves death." ”
When Empress Yixian heard this, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she seemed to smile and said, "In this way, this palace is still grateful to my sister for thinking about this palace?" ”
Liu Zhaoyi's face was frightened, and she pretended to flatter: "The concubine is just worried about her mother." This harem is Niangniang's world, how can a Liangdi take away what belongs to Niangniang. ”
"My sister is really bold, if this kind of words reach His Majesty's ears, not only my sister will not be able to escape the blame, but even the palace will not be able to get out of it."
"Niangniang is too worried, the concubine is planning for Niangniang, how can she harm Niangniang." Liu Zhaoyi's beautiful face had a faint smile like clouds and smoke, but her eyes were clear.
"Sister Hugh is going to talk such nonsense. You and I are all here to serve Your Majesty, where did you come from to plan, is my sister instigating the palace to rebel? Empress Yixian's eyes were deep, her momentum was fierce, and she said coldly. However, he sneered in his heart: "Liu Wenhui, don't think that this palace doesn't know your purpose. I want to use this palace to deal with a good person with an identity and status, hmph, how can this palace be as you wish? ”
Liu Zhaoyi pretended to be shocked, and said repeatedly: "The concubine doesn't dare, the mother misunderstood the concubine." The concubine is indeed for the sake of the mother, without any selfishness, and asks the mother to know the truth. ”
"Su Huan, although you are pretending, this palace doesn't believe that you don't have the slightest wavering in your heart, and this palace doesn't believe that you can tolerate Xu Liangdi's competition for favor?" Liu Zhaoyi was resentful in her heart.
Empress Yixian's eyes were like torches, as if she wanted to see through her, and said casually: "My sister is sincere, but unfortunately this palace can't afford it, this palace is tired, my sister kneels down." After that, Su Bai's fingers rubbed his eyebrows, and his face was tired.
Liu Zhaoyi was stunned when she heard this, and then hatred arose in her heart: "Okay, you Su Huan, a slut is really a slut, and you dare to drive the palace away." It seems that if this palace doesn't take some fierce medicine, you won't weigh the heart of this palace. ”
"It is right for Niangniang to question the concubine's intentions, and the concubine understands Niangniang's thoughts." Liu Zhaoyi's eyes flashed slightly, and sorrow appeared between her eyebrows, adding a weakness to her beautiful face, "In the past, it was the concubine who didn't know how to judge the situation and offended the mother, even if the concubine died, it was not enough to atone for her sins." ”
She paused, and then said: "Until today, the concubine did not understand the truth, this deep palace, only by relying on the mother can find a way." Today, the concubines came to ask for one thing. ”
When Empress Yixian heard this, her slightly tired and misty eyes fell on her faintly, and she said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Zhaoyi seemed to have made a major decision, and solemnly bowed down: "The concubine is willing to attach herself to Niangniang and follow Niangniang." ”
