Chapter 49: The Queen's Misfortune
Chapter Forty-Nine: The Queen's Misfortune
Nian Jiuling was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Leng Yue said miserably: "I forgot to buy the ingredients, is it okay to go back with me to buy them......"
Three black lines appeared on Nian Jiuling's forehead, and he thought it was a big deal: "There are all the materials for the imperial dining room in the palace, why buy them outside?" β
Leng Yue shook her head and said, "I'm cooking side dishes today, and I can't use those in the imperial dining room, okay, come with me." Leng Yue actually pulled Nian Jiuling's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly.
Nian Jiuling said angrily and funny: "Okay, I'll go with you." β
So the two returned to the vegetable market, and there were some big girls and little daughters-in-law, and there were only a few gentlemen who sold vegetables. Those females who went up to eighty and down to the milk babies all looked straight at these two "beautiful men" who suddenly appeared.
Leng Yue glanced at Nian Jiuling and said in a low voice: "Next time I go out, I must wear women's clothes, and I must be your wife, so as not to be looked at by so many people." β
Nian Jiuling smiled, he was very happy, this smile caused a sensation, and many women threw fruits at him. It's a pity that they were bounced away by Nian Jiuling with internal force before they got close.
The two of them bought some ingredients and were about to go back to the palace, when suddenly a fast horse ran on the road, and the horse was rampant, and the people on the horseback were drunk and drunk, as if they were frightened.
Nian Jiuling frowned, and was about to step forward to stop it, but Leng Yue took off his coat and handed it to him: "Cover the horse's head." β
Nian Jiuling nodded, didn't care much, flew up on tiptoe, and put the robe in his hand on the horse's head as soon as he stretched out his right hand. As soon as the horse's head was covered, the horse fell silent and did not dare to rampage again.
Nian Jiuling didn't look at the person on horseback, and he was about to go back when he took back his robe, and suddenly, the person on horseback rushed straight into his arms with a coquettish shout.
"Senior brother, Tong'er has found you."
Hearing this, Nian Jiuling's face changed drastically, as if he had seen an evil ghost, and he retreated again and again, but he couldn't shake off the person in his arms.
The cold moon is clouded, is the red thing holding the ninth year old tightly a person?
Nian Jiuling stretched out his hand to pull out the "strange creature" in his arms, and then grabbed Leng Yue's waist and flew up, running desperately towards the palace, as if something terrible was chasing behind him.
Returning to the palace, Leng Yue saw that Nian Jiuling's hands were still trembling, and although she was very curious in her heart, she couldn't help but ask. Come to the kitchenette and get your hands dirty.
The emperor came early today, just after the unitary hour, fortunately Leng Yue had already prepared the meal, otherwise he would have to wait.
"Why did the emperor come so early today?" Leng Yue put down the last pot of soup and asked curiously.
The emperor's face was very ruddy, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "There are a lot of twists and turns today, but fortunately I came here in time." He didn't say that he didn't want to do things for a day, which led to a backlog of twists and turns, and he only finished it in one breath after hearing that Leng Yue had returned to the palace.
Leng Yue didn't dress up too much, she was indifferent and fresh, and the emperor was stupid, so he said for a long time: "I hope that I won't enter the emperor's family in the next life." β
Leng Yue smiled faintly, and put a spoonful of fish-flavored shredded meat into the emperor's bowl: "Who knows what will happen in the next life?" If there really is a past life and this life, then why don't we remember the things of the past life? So, there's no need to worry about anything else, we just need to live this life well. β
The emperor nodded, was silent for a while, and said, "The crown prince is not a big deal, which makes me very disappointed." β
Leng Yue smiled: "It's not that the emperor's heirs are too few, only this one is naturally spoiled." β
The emperor sighed and said: "It's not that I'm incompetent, it's that her means are too powerful, and the Feng family holds half of the military power, and I can't move her." β
Leng Yue smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, although the rights of the Feng family cannot be taken back together, we can split and weaken them little by little." β
The emperor's eyes were dotted with stars, and his face was happy: "Is there a way to love the concubine?" β
Leng Yue thought for a moment and said, "You can investigate the evidence of the Feng family's subordinates, and then punish them one by one, so that you can decompose their forces little by little." β
The emperor sighed heavily: "I have thought about it, but even if I investigate the evidence of the crime, it will be intercepted halfway, and it will not reach my hands at all." β
"Don't worry, the emperor, the concubines will do a good job, and I promise to personally hand over the evidence of the crime to the emperor, but the most important thing at the moment is to think about how to deal with the queen, and only by suppressing her can I seize more power."
The emperor nodded, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that you don't have an heir, otherwise I would have made you a concubine." β
Leng Yue slipped a drop of sweat on her forehead, it turned out that Concubine Feng had to have a child, so she had to get a child out quickly, only by being on an equal footing with the queen could she better win over the courtiers and grasp the power. But where to get a child? Do you have to give birth to yourself?
"What is Concubine Ai thinking?" The emperor saw that Leng Yue's eyes were confused and he didn't speak, so he asked.
"Well, the concubine is thinking about how to deal with the queen." Leng Yue hurriedly changed the subject.
The emperor's eyes darkened, bowed his head and said nothing, Leng Yue knew that their husband and wife relationship for more than 20 years was still very deep, and if they really made enemies of each other, they couldn't bear it.
Leng Yue solemnly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine promised you that she would never kill her." "Death is too cheap for the queen, but she doesn't know that this decision has brought her a lot of trouble in the future.
The emperor raised his head when he heard this, his eyes were full of gratitude, if he knew what Leng Yue was thinking, I am afraid he would not be so grateful.
The two talked about some trivial matters between the DPRK and China, and the atmosphere was originally cheerful, but it was interrupted by the arrival of one person......
"The queen has arrivedβ" The eunuch's shrill voice blackened the emperor's face.
The queen was not surprised to see the emperor when she entered the door, and saluted with a smile: "The concubines see the emperor." β
The emperor didn't raise his head, and said lightly with a wine glass: "Get up." β
"Your Majesty." The queen got up, looked at Leng Yue and said, "Why don't you ask your sister to come and taste it?" After speaking, he sat down with a smile, and the clever palace maid gave a pair of chopsticks.
The queen picked up a chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully for a moment and said with a smile: "My sister is really a good craft, and the imperial chefs in the palace will be willing to bow down." β
Leng Yue tugged at the corners of her mouth, hating it in her heart but not revealing it, after all, she couldn't tear her face apart, otherwise she would be the one who suffered.
The queen smiled, she naturally saw that Leng Yue didn't like it in her heart, and after a few more idle words, she turned around and said goodbye. The emperor was also disturbed by her and lost interest and wanted to go indoors to rest, but the queen stopped him: "Your Majesty, today is fifteen." β
The emperor stiffened, and reluctantly turned around and left with the queen. Leng Yue smiled when she saw the emperor's guilty eyes. In fact, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Seeing the queen and the emperor leave, Leng Yue returned to the kitchen to cook some noodles, called Nian Jiuling, and the two were ready to rest after eating, but before the butt sat on the bed, many forbidden soldiers and eunuchs came outside the Huiyue Palace, led by Ruan Gonggong shouted: "Take down the concubine Yue who poisoned the emperor and the queen." β
