225 mother and son negotiations
Xiao Yan slowly walked towards Zhong Cui Palace, and the emperor's laughter in the palace spread far away, sounding very joyful.
"I haven't come to see Xiao Jiu for a while, I didn't expect Xiao Jiu to be so competitive, I want to reward Xiao Jiu well. "Just listen to the emperor.
Xiao Yan's heart did not fluctuate, and there was a sarcastic smile in his eyes, the emperor will always be like this, he is indifferent to all his children, if he is not like this, he would not have to grow up in bullying since he was a child, and his mother would not have to die.
Xiao Yan lowered his head and slowly walked into the Zhongcui Palace, Duan Rubi was the first to see Xiao Yan, seeing that his expression was wrong, he was also a little worried in his heart, got up and came to him, and covered the tension in his heart with a smile, "Ah Yan is back, come and see your father and Concubine Yue." ”
Duan Rubi frowned slightly, and carefully tugged at his sleeve, in fact, Xiao Yan was not angry, now seeing Duan Rubi's frightened appearance and wanting to comfort him, he felt funny in his heart, the corners of his mouth curved, and he saluted upward, "I have seen my father, Concubine Yue." ”
"No courtesy!" the emperor was happy in his heart, and waved his big hand, "Xiao Jiu, I heard what your mother said, and your strategy today has always been appreciated by the master, I am really pleased, but it's a pity that I haven't gone to the Guozijian to look at it, so why don't you tell your father now." ”
Fang just said that he was happy, but after the joy was over, the emperor actually still had some doubts in his heart, after all, Xiao Yan was inconspicuous on weekdays, how could he often be appreciated by the master, and it was not impossible for Duan Rubi to lie for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan sneered in his heart, but he smiled warmly on his face, and responded obediently, "Yes." The emperor listened to it from beginning to end, his face was full of joy, and he immediately got up and came to Xiao Yan's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay! You are a visionary! You really live up to my hopes for you, and you have not disgraced your mother!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction, looked at Duan Rubi with appreciation, and praised gently: "It's all your good teaching, if it weren't for you, Xiao Jiu's good qualifications would be buried." ”
Duan Rubi smiled, "It's still the honor of the emperor who was willing to give his concubines to raise the Nine Emperor Princes, otherwise the concubines would not have adopted the Nine Emperor Princes." Duan Rubi didn't leave a trace and put the credit on the emperor, the emperor naturally liked this kind of praise, and the smile on his face deepened.
Concubine Yue is also a person who has read books, so she naturally knows that Xiao Yan's policy is well written, but the more she knows that he writes well, the more jealous Concubine Yue is in her heart!
She couldn't have a child, she always wanted to find a child in the palace to raise, and she also fell in love with the Nine Emperor Princes at the beginning, but this child didn't look like a manufacturable material, she didn't like it when she looked at it, so she gave up, how did she know that this child actually 'hooked up' with Duan Rubi, a slut, which is an eyesore for both mother and son!
Concubine Yue pursed a stiff smile on the corner of her mouth, got up and walked up, "The Nine Emperor Princes are really powerful, how long has it taken for the Imperial Eunuch to write such a strategy, it is really talented, and my sister is also blessed to be able to adopt such a delicate person as the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Duan Rubi frowned when she saw the emperor, and secretly said in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "The child of the Nine Emperor Princes is actually also a motivated person. Duan Rubi seemed to talk about the difficulty, gave the maid behind her a look, and motioned for her to take Xiao Yan down first.
Xiao Yan knew that Duan Rubi was afraid of what kind of play she was going to play, so she felt funny in her heart, so she left obediently.
Duan Rubi looked up and sighed, "Your Majesty, Sister Yuefei, don't hide it from the two of you, the Nine Emperors are really a poor person, when the concubine went to take her to Zhongcui Palace, she took a good look at it, and only then did she know that the Nine Emperors often took advantage of the departure of those eunuchs who committed crimes in the past, and secretly ran to the Guozi Prison to listen, and even read those books that other princes didn't want at night, and those small books were piled up on a whole bed, the Nine Emperors were both studious and talented, and they must be the emperor's right-hand man in the future, sharing the emperor's worries." ”
Duan Rubi did not mention the crown prince, but also kept an eye on it, no emperor wants to abdicate, if she said that Xiao Yan will be a good helper of the prince in the future, I am afraid that the emperor's expression will not be so good-looking, he is now in the prime of life, why does the prince need a helper? Could it be that it is not possible to help him usurp the throne.
After listening to Duan Rubi's words, the doubts in his heart disappeared, "Xiao Jiu is indeed good, I will send someone to the Guozijian tomorrow to tell the master that I want to cultivate Xiao Jiu well." The emperor looked at Duan Rubi and said: "Bi'er taught Xiao Jiu to be meritorious, and I thought about it, so it will offset the previous mistakes, you should move back to the main palace of Zhongcui Palace, you deserve the position of this concubine." ”
Duan Rubi didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy at all, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Duan Ruhua and Duan Rubian, who had been listening to it for a long time, also saluted Duan Rubi and said hello to Duan Rubi's promotion.
Concubine Yue gritted her teeth with hatred, but she had to pretend to be happy for her, "Congratulations to my sister on returning to the concubine position, it's really gratifying......"
Everyone finished a meal with a snake, and Concubine Yue didn't eat two bites, which made her angry belly, and she couldn't stay, but it was a pity that the emperor didn't leave, and she couldn't leave without permission, so she could only pretend to be unwell, and watched the emperor and Duan Rubi eat a lunch with 'kindness and love'.
"Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back and review the folds. Gonggong Chen saw that this time was really a little late, so he opened his mouth to remind the emperor.
The emperor thought that this was indeed the case, and he got up to leave.
Concubine Yue also couldn't wait to follow and wanted to leave together, Xiao Yan came out of the study to send off the emperor, and the group walked out of Zhongcui Palace.
Who knew that after walking two steps, several black-clothed people rushed up to the palace wall and fought with the imperial forest army beside the emperor.
Gonggong Chen stood in front of the emperor, his face turned pale with fright.
Xiao Yan quietly blocked Duan Rubi behind him, staring at the group of people who appeared inexplicably in front of him with a stern face.
Duan Ruhua quietly pushed Concubine Yue behind her, Concubine Yue bit her lip, looked at Duan Rubi who had risen from Zhaoyi to Concubine Shu on the other side, and squinted her eyes slightly.
Those black-clothed people are strong in martial arts, and in the negligence of the Imperial Forest Army, a black-clothed man crossed in front of the emperor with light skills, lifted the placket of Chen Gonggong's clothes and threw them aside, and was about to behead the emperor with a sword.
Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Yan kicked the long sword crookedly, and the two scuffled together.
The emperor stared at the chaotic Zhongcui Palace with a blue face.
In a trance, he only heard the sound of the sword coming from behind, and the emperor's face turned pale, and the secret path was not good.
"The emperor is careful-" only to hear the two moon concubines shout sharply, the emperor was pushed away fiercely, and the long sword of the man in black stabbed into the shoulder of the moon concubine steadily.
There was a sound of uniform footsteps outside Zhong Cui Palace, and several black-clothed people made a move, and they left quickly together.
Only Xiao Yan caught the person.
The emperor immediately sent someone to carry Concubine Yue to treatment, and Duan Ruhua also hurriedly followed.
When they were far away, the Emperor turned around and kicked the man to the ground: "Who are you!
The man in black's expression flickered, but after a few breaths, he bit through the poison sac hidden in his mouth and died of poisoning.
The emperor was afraid that he was not ready to ask anything, and when he saw that the man committed suicide, he left a sentence: "Chop and feed the dog." He hurried to Concubine Yue's residence.
After the Imperial Forest Army left, Duan Rubi's face changed suddenly, and she quickly rushed to Xiao Yan's side, "How are you? Are you injured! That person looks like a Lian family, why do you have to go up and be strong!" All Concubine Yue has to do is sacrifice herself to save people, even if Xiao Yan doesn't kick the man in black, the emperor won't have an accident.
Xiao Yan was very interested in Duan Rubi's concern, and said with a smile: "It's okay, that person's martial arts are not as good as mine, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
Duan Rubi's heart was still pounding, and she glanced at Xiao Yan angrily, and then she thought that there was still a Duan Rubian beside her.
Duan Rubi's body was slightly stiff.
Duan Rubian watched on the side for a while, and she was not blind, so she could naturally see that Xiao Yan really liked Duan Rubi very much, and Duan Rubi seemed to be interested in him, and Duan Rubian was really a little more stable in her heart.
"If I guessed correctly, Concubine Yue's reckless move was done well, she will return to the position of the concubine in less than three days, you better be careful, everything is not in a hurry, you also stabilized the queen, don't do stupid things, if you really let Concubine Yue grab the handle, you must be the first person pushed out by the queen to block the knife." Duan Rubian admonished.
"I understand, thank you for the reminder. Duan Rubi nodded gratefully.
Duan Rubian smiled with relief, "That's fine." ”
......
Then, Duan Rubian and others also went to Kanghua Palace to see Concubine Yue, Concubine Yue's injury was not serious, but she really hit the emperor's heart with her gesture of saving people.
As Duan Rufang expected, Concubine Yue and Duan Ruhua first spread the word that she had blocked the emperor's sword, and the people all praised Concubine Yue's love for the emperor, although the Queen Mother didn't believe it much, but she couldn't find the head of Concubine Yue.
The emperor now believed that Concubine Yue blocked the sword for him because he loved him, and three days later, in the early dynasty, the emperor issued a holy decree on the spot, and named Concubine Yue as Concubine Wan, which was different from the previous direct title in her name, but specially ordered to pick the word "Wan", which can be described as more beautiful than before.
When the concubines in the harem heard about this, they were all rumors.
Everyone in the harem heard early in the morning that Concubine Yue might be promoted to a concubine, but they never thought that the emperor would re-select her title, which is really a rare honor.
There are even more concubines who are frightened, the month when the concubine is down, they are down, just by virtue of the concubine's personality that will be repaid, I am afraid that they will not have a good life in the future, so many concubines have begun to look for backers everywhere, and the palace of Rubi in the past few days can be said to be very lively.
