Chapter 104: Into the Cold Palace
The cold wind is blowing, the meaning of Xiao Suo is still born, and the blue sky is like a red sunset on the cheeks of the woman, shrouded in the glow, and the red maple outside the maple pavilion is more and more delicate like fire.
Xue Hainiang looked up and stared, with mixed feelings, and the cold wind was faintly blowing in her ears from time to time, floating with clouds and temples and green silk, mixed with a sound that seemed to be as pleasant and delicate as a woman's silver bell.
"I just saw that Lijiaotang seems to have been sealed by the palace people - now layers of guards are guarding in front of the palace, and I vaguely heard that the one inside does not know where to go. "From the approximate timbre, the person who spoke outside was about twenty-eight years old, and his words revealed a rare ignorance and innocence.
"Heh-then the Xue family can be regarded as having eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to invite favor with the unwarranted imperial heir, you and I know the means of the noble concubine, even if she is not sentenced to death, I estimate that the Xue family will have to die alone in the cold palace for the rest of his life. "In contrast to the former's plausible pity, the latter is clearly cold-hearted.
"Bi Tao, aren't you on duty at Concubine Liu's Niangniang? That Lijiao Hall is located in Chaoyang Palace, don't you know how the Xue family is placed now?" another person asked, his words revealing exploration and confusion.
"Shhhhh As long as your voice is loud, if you let the master next to you hear it, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around. After saying that, she deliberately lowered her throat, and there was a bit of schadenfreude between her words, "The concubine Niangniang estimated that she had reported the Xue family's fake pregnancy to the emperor in every detail, do you think, how much the emperor and the queen mother valued and favored the Xue family in the past, and now they hate her when they know the truth...... Tell me, what is the Xue family doing badly, you have to do this fake pregnancy to compete for favor, now it's okay, the emperor is furious, which makes the people in the six palaces panic, and even with us slaves and maids, we have to wait for it with fear. ”
"Yes...... I heard from the fellow villagers who were on duty in the Qiankun Palace that day that the noble concubine didn't order the guards to strictly interrogate the Imperial Physician Xu who had treated the Xue family in the first place?
"You are stupid, you have teamed up with the concubine to commit such a capital crime of bullying the king, and when Imperial Doctor Xu saw the incident in the east window, he naturally fled with a bedspread, did he still stay and end up in a different place......
Nu Jiao'e's whispering was mixed with the cold wind and swirled in a chaotic way, but Xue Hainiang unexpectedly heard it very clearly.
Xue Hainiang vaguely remembered that day was also the same, in the evening when the sunset smudged the sky, the autumn wind was blowing, and the wind swept the delicate maple leaves up and down.
Xue Qiaoling was domineering, and Liang Bairou, who was two orders higher than her, also greeted her with a smile, and she asked her to go by herself, except for Liang Bairou, no one dared to say anything.
Today, it is also in the same situation, but there is news in her ears that she has been thrown into the cold palace and lost her supreme honor.
"Xue Qiaoling's fake pregnancy is not known to a fourth person except me, Sister Liang and the Imperial Doctor Xu, I am very confused, how did Xiao Guifei know?" Xue Hainiang secretly sighed softly, not to lament Xue Qiaoling's miserable state now, but to be melancholy and unconsciously unable to see through the person in front of her.
Liang Bairou's eyes were faint, and her voice was still as quiet and tactful as the Empty Valley Orchid in her ears, "I have always been restless after the Xue family sent you to Lijiao Hall, although I know that you are cautious and intelligent, but at that time, I was heartless but powerless, and I was subject to the humiliation and helplessness of my position, I would never want to do it again...... Concubine Xiao Guifei is in a high position, and I have always been kind to me, so I will temporarily attach myself to her and bring down the Xue family. ”
Xue Hainiang looked at her slightly worriedly, and her words were poor for a long time.
"Sister Liang, you once said that you don't want to end up like the eldest grandson...... Hai Niang is afraid that once she is involved with Xiao Guifei, it will be difficult to get out. The red lips opened, but Xue Hainiang felt that the sourness in her eyes was unbearable, so she had to blindly suppress the crystal gushing out.
Liang Bairou did not reply, slightly leaning up at the jade neck and staring at the red maple leaves that fell weakly with the wind, and her beautiful eyes contained feelings that made it difficult for others to peep.
"I only look forward to the coming year, and I can enjoy this blood-like red maple with you in the same posture as now. ”
It is the day of the palace concubines and concubines.
Xue Hainiang probably remembered that the last time she stopped in Qiankun Palace was three days ago, and it was still the palace concubines and concubines who gathered, but she witnessed the bloody scene, the eldest grandson and the guards fornicated wine, and the Xue family entered the cold palace with fake pregnancy.
For a while, the people in the palace were panicked, and the atmosphere changed dramatically, and they used to flatter the people who were attached to the Xue family, but now they are all turning to please Ma Zaoxiu and Liang Bairou, the former has the support of the queen mother, and the latter is full of saints.
"The concubine respectfully invites the concubine Niangniang Sheng'an, and the concubine Niangniang Changle Weiyang. ”
Xue Hainiang bowed with Liang Bairou and said respects.
After three bows, Concubine Xiao smiled lightly, and asked to raise her jade arm according to the usual etiquette, "Sisters don't have to be polite." ”
For a long time, the palace audience was all instructed by the lord of the six palaces to guide the concubine Teng Yan, Xiao Guifei was gentle and friendly, and she rarely did, nothing more than to mention that the concubines should focus on the saint in everything, and don't want the sisters to have troubles.
"This time the eldest grandson and the palace guards have fornication, Xue's fake pregnancy won the love of the emperor and the queen mother, it is really a great disrespect to the palace of bullying the king, the palace has been with the emperor, the queen mother and her old man have repeatedly discussed, the eldest grandson has been given to death by wine, Xue entered the cold palace, and the sisters of the palace take the two as a lesson from the past, and they must not be committed again. "The throat is clear, the sound is clear, but there is invisibly oozing deterrence, making people tremble when they hear the battle.
"Then there is the matter of the emperor's heir...... she said, Yuanshan Dai's eyebrows frowned lightly, and her red lips overflowed with a light sigh, almost inaudible, "Although the emperor is in his prime, he is not worried about having no children under his knees, but after this, he gains and loses, which is really a sad heart, and the palace looks at the emperor who has been sleeping uncomfortably in recent days, and the food is tasteless, and this heart is also uncomfortable-" Xiao Guifei lifted her eyelids lightly, and her beautiful eyes contained a shallow smile," Among the new concubines this time, Liang Meiren has the most sacred heart, and the emperor loves his sister very much, and her sister can have a good life to recuperate, and strive to extend the heirs of the royal family as soon as possible. ”
Liang Bai's soft white and greasy cheeks were as red as the sunset, and he lowered his head slightly, and said shyly: "The concubine obeys the order, and she will live up to the emperor's grace and the love of her mother." ”
"Huh-" Xiao Guifei raised her eyebrows lightly, her eyes fell to Liang Bairou's side, and her words were slightly confused, "Why don't you see Ma Cairen today?"
Concubine Liu Shi Ran stepped forward, Chu waist slightly folded and bowed, "Back to the words of the concubine Niangniang, the younger sister of Zao Xiu went to the Tongque Hall early this morning, and the Tao learned that the Empress Dowager had a head stroke and went to serve." ”
