Chapter 278: Clues
Liuli stood beside the queen and shouted, "The auspicious time is here, salute." ”
"The ministers (concubines) and concubines greet the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is a thousand years old."
Everyone shook the handkerchiefs in their hands, knelt down in unison, and performed the palace worship ceremony, Jiang Yao felt knee pain again, but still insisted on finishing the salute, and everyone sat down together.
"I haven't seen him for many days, I see that Song Zhaoyi's face is extraordinarily white and red, presumably it is the nourishment of the emperor these days, which makes Song Zhaoyi happy, and it seems that the emperor should soon have a dragon heir."
The queen's words with a light smile made everyone have their own thoughts.
Song Zhaoyi sat on the chair opposite Jiang Yao and replied: "Queen Mother, you are the beauty of the country, when you entered the palace, the emperor personally made the poem for you, but the daughters of various boudoirs yearn for it." ”
Qian Changzai couldn't help asking, "What kind of poem?" ”
The queen chuckled and said, "It was all many years ago, and now I can't compare to your youth and beauty." ”
"Queen Mother, you were a good story at that time, the emperor fell in love with you at a glance when he was drafting, you are the queen hand-picked by the emperor."
Zhao Guifei raised her eyebrows, flattered the queen, and said: "The soft green silk between the temples, and the beautiful between the eyebrows." Tsing Yi fell into a dream and went to Cangsang. ”
Jiang Yao said: "It's really a good poem, and there is the name of the queen's mother in the poem, which is really a deep friendship." ”
Song Zhaoyi couldn't help but think of the emperor's poem last night, which she had been carefully hiding in her heart.
"Okay, don't mention the past, now you can keep to yourself, serve the emperor well, and don't interfere with the business of the previous dynasty, which is the expectation of the palace......"
The queen's eyes never left Jiang Yao, and her face sank and said: "It's just that Concubine Shu, you have been managing the harem on behalf of the palace for these days, but the matter of the Cui sisters has caused a stir in the harem, causing the two sisters to compete for favor and frame each other. ”
Jiang Yao was miserable, she had to eat Coptis dumbly, she couldn't say it, but she was the queen, and she couldn't stand on the front.
"Yes, the concubine will follow the teachings carefully, and she will copy them carefully."
"The palace is tired, let's disperse."
The queen yawned, waved her hand, got up and was helped down by Liuli.
After listening to the lecture, everyone dispersed, Jiang Yao walked out of Zhaoren Palace, looked at Song Zhaoyi who did not leave at the gate of the palace, and smiled knowingly: "Yi'er, but are you waiting for me?" ”
Song Zhaoyi looked at Jiang Yao with a worried face, and said, "Ah Yao, why don't I copy it for you, it must be the queen who will be the target and bully you." ”
"It's okay, I'll copy it a few more times, and I just need to look at the palace rules."
"Ah Yao, why don't I go and ask the Queen Mother to administer justice."
"It's not a big deal, don't bother the Queen Mother. Speaking of Yi'er's palace, it is a little remote, I saw the emperor at noon, and asked for a will for Yi'er, can I move to the Xi'an Palace next to me? ”
"Of course it's good, so that I don't have to run so far to see A-Yao, and I don't have to worry about the slippery ground over there in the West Sixth Palace."
Song Zhaoyi took Jiang Yao's hand with joy, there are some things that the queen mother can't do, the queen can't do, but Jiang Yao can do it easily.
"I still remember Yi'er's good piano skills, and you can teach me when you are free."
"Okay, I still want to eat the dishes made by A-Yao, it will definitely be a hundred times better than the dishes made in the imperial dining room......"
Suddenly, on the long street of Xiao Su, Jiang Yao and Song Zhaoyi were smiling very happily, and they did not separate until they were about to walk to Sui'an Palace, and Song Zhaoyi was still walking in the direction of the dark and damp West Palace.
On the way here, the radish was very carefully, carefully looking at whether there was any strange powder on the ground, for fear that Song Zhaoyi would make a mistake.
"Master, if you can move to Xi'an Palace, then you can be closer to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and closer to the Queen Mother."
"yes, closer."
Song Zhaoyi knows the good and the bad.
"Then Concubine Shu can really go and ask the emperor to let us move to Xi'an Palace?"
"On the surface, I am favored, but the emperor still goes to Sui'an Palace for lunch every day, and everyone can see that the most important thing in the emperor's heart is the concubine."
"Then why didn't she ask for it early in the morning?"
"Silly girl, people's hearts also need to be exchanged."
"Can that be done? What if the emperor doesn't agree? ”
"If it's someone else, I'm afraid I'll be scolded, but if the concubine goes, let's wait for the good news."
Song Zhaoyi walked on the gloomy West Sixth Palace Avenue with a smile on her face, she said this because she knew Jiang Yao, Duan Jingyan, and Jiang Yao's position in Duan Jingyao's mind.
This is the fascination of the authorities and the clearing of bystanders.
Back next to the small garden of Sui'an Palace, Jiang Yao turned the arch and saw Jiang Jieyu, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
Jiang Yao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is my sister here alone to enjoy the scenery?" ”
"I'm waiting for you."
Jiang Jieyu said simply, but Jiang Yao was very surprised, Jiang Jieyu took out an earring from her sleeve, Jiang Yao took it very puzzled, I don't know what it means.
The cloud sleeve next to him recognized it at a glance, "This is Liuli's earrings." ”
Jiang Jieyu nodded and said seriously: "That's right, this is Liuli's thing, I found it in the grass next to the crossroads the day before yesterday, and I think it has nothing to do with Cui Hanwen's fall on time." ”
Jiang Yao looked around vigilantly all of a sudden, and Yun Sleeve understood the meaning and also patrolled the surroundings.
"Jiang Jieyu, it's about the queen, if you don't get it right, it's a big crime to kill your head."
"Sister, I have been distracted like this, the emperor refuses to look at me again, and everyone in the palace is afraid that I am crazy. Even if I die, I will also pull the queen to be the back. ”
Jiang Jieyu gritted her teeth, anger was revealed in her eyes, Jiang Yao held the earring tightly, this matter must be inseparable from the queen, so just now in Zhaoren Palace, the queen only said that the Cui sisters framed each other.
If it has nothing to do with her, this queen will definitely force her to check again and again, and if she can't find it, she will impose charges.
"Don't make a noise about this in advance, let's go and investigate it in private slowly."
Jiang Yao instructed Jiang Jieyu a few words, Jiang Jieyu glanced at the cloud sleeves on the side, blessed, and said, "Sister, now the only person I can trust is my sister, and I hope my sister will take care of me." ”
Why did everyone go to her? Jiang Yao also had a headache, but looking at Jiang Jieyu with real eyes, after experiencing a turmoil, her eyes were full of desire to survive.
Jiang Yao hurriedly helped Jiang Jieyu up and replied: "Sister, don't feel sorry for yourself, life is too short, and you have to think about it yourself." ”
Jiang Jieyu's eyes were red, she nodded and turned to leave, and there was not even a palace maid by her side.
In the Sui'an Palace, Yun Sleeve helped Jiang Yao into the courtyard, and could no longer suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in one go: "Niangniang, the queen is deliberately giving you a dismount, Niangniang is also a concubine in the first palace, how can you say that you will be punished." ”
"She's the queen, why don't you dare?"
Jiang Yao carried the hem of her skirt and entered the house, took off her cloak and handed it to Yun Bi, Yun Sleeve followed behind, still saying: "Niangniang has to beware of the queen, the ban was lifted on the first day, and I don't know what I did behind my back." ”
"The matter of the New Year's Festival, you must be more careful and cautious, and the fireworks placed in the west treasury, you go and inform General Liang to send the forbidden army to help guard it."
The comer is not good, the queen frequently made moves towards Jiang Yao this time, Jiang Yao was also uneasy in her heart, worried that the queen would use the New Year Festival to make a fuss, and at the grand and chaotic family banquet, it was impossible to prevent it.
"Yes." Yun Sleeve answered, and immediately turned around to do it.
Jiang Yao sat on the soft couch, pondering, and asked Qin to walk in with Ah Yao in her arms, as soon as Ah Yao saw Jiang Yao, she stretched out her fleshy little arm and shouted something, she couldn't say anything, but the meaning of hugging was very obvious.
Jiang Yao took it and said, "Our Ah Yao is heavy again, and the mother concubine can't hold you anymore." ”
Ah Yao's black eyes were dripping, blinking and looking at Jiang Yao, very cute, her little hand caressed Jiang Yao's cheek, and instantly Jiang Yao's heart became soft and warm, and Jiang Yao kissed her fiercely.
For the first time, she felt why those women in the harem were so desperate to have a child.
"Niangniang, the eldest prince is looking forward to Niangniang's return this morning, and it doesn't work to give him delicious and fun food, and when he hears the sound of Niangniang coming back, he struggles to come over and take a look."
Jiang Yao, who said it, kissed Ah Yao even more happily and said, "Ah Yao, you can't do without your mother concubine, then Ah Yao will grow up quickly, so that Ah Yao can follow her mother concubine." ”
Asked about the sorrowful words between his eyebrows and eyes: "Niangniang, before the people came back, we have already heard that in Zhaoren Palace, the queen did not give you a good face, and also reprimanded the Cui sisters."
Jiang Yao hugged Ah Yao, looked at the appearance of asking Qin to speak and stopped, and asked, "Aunt Qin, there must be something to say?" ”
