Chapter 112: Miss Fan in the Palace
His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and all the people outside the Fan Mansion were evacuated. This was the power of a feudal king. He can do things according to his temperament. And as for the subordinates and courtiers who died outside the Fan Mansion in a daze because of the war between their father and son, who cares?
It's not quiet in the study. After Scholar Hu left. His Majesty the Emperor began to play chess with Fan Ruoruo. This is a habit he has developed in recent days. Emperor Qing's middle index finger gently held a sunspot, put it on the slightly reflective chessboard, and said in harmony: "Look at the appearance." Fan Jian didn't teach you this in the mansion. ”
Fan Ruoruo has been in the palace for eight days. What he was wearing was Fan's hard work. Through several ladies in the palace, home-cooked clothes were sent. One should be plain color, and this Huanghuang Palace looks a little incongruously light. Although everyone knows that Miss Fan is a hostage in the palace. But the hostage's identity is not bad. His Majesty treats her even better. Lord Chen was outside the palace. The palace also has its own nobles to take care of. There is no big problem with eating, living, and dressing.
She sat respectfully across from Emperor Qingdi. Place your hands gently on your lap. Ying said: "The chess path is too complicated......
His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyes slightly. Interestingly asked, "Remember that before Yasuyuki entered Beijing, you were already a famous talented woman in Kyoto." ”
"It's just that those Lu men who have nothing to do like to talk nonsense, I can't make poems, and I can't paint. I really don't know where this woman's reputation comes from. ”
Eight days after entering the palace, from the initial nervousness and helplessness, to the quiet and calm now, Fan Ruoruo fully released the calmness of the iceberg, on the one hand, it was due to his temperament since childhood, and more importantly, it was Fan Xian's subtle transformation in the past ten years. Although the man on the other side is the emperor of Qingguodi, after all, the other party is still a person, and he is not a monster.
Of course, this is also because His Majesty the Emperor behaves like an ordinary person in front of Fan Ruoruo.
"I've read your poems. It's not bad in the boudoir. It's just compared to Anzhi. Naturally, it's hard to compare. It's hard for you to say that. His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "Talent is not in revealing all kinds of skills. It's about the firmness of the heart. You can save my life, it can be regarded as a wonderful rejuvenation, and the name of a talented woman. It's also appropriate. ”
"Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, and the courtiers are just ......" Fan Ruoruo naturally responded according to the taste of the dialogue in front of the king, but unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor laughed. said: "Death naturally can't die, but there are more steel balls in the body." Presumably it won't be too comfortable. ”
At this moment, Eunuch Yao gently flashed into the imperial study. Standing in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he said softly: "One person died in Qingmiao. They were waiting in the front hall at this time.
"Waiting? His Majesty the Emperor gently played with the black matte chess pieces, and his voice cooled. He said, "I will spare them this time, if there is any more recklessness." Let them go to Dadong Mountain and jump off the cliff on their own.
Eunuch Yao whispered. He also said: "After Lord Xiao Fan left from Qingmiao. I went to Taixue and met Scholar Hu. ”
The emperor was silent for a moment and then smiled and said, "I already knew before, the Qingmiao is ...... The shadow has returned. ”
Eunuch Yao was silent. He doesn't have any power to advise on these things. He understood His Majesty's intentions very well. He was definitely not as confused as those ascetics who wore hats. Who is Fan Xian? He is His Majesty's favorite courtier. Bastard. Even if His Majesty wants to let Fan Xian die, it is impossible to let the people below do their own thing.
"The problem is that I don't know how Lord Xiao Fan left the Fan Mansion and how he entered the Qing Temple, and for a period of time in between. I don't know where he went. Eunuch Yao leaned slightly and said.
Emperor Qing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, Eunuch Yao left the imperial study. In the course of this conversation. Fan Ruoruo has been listening quietly on the side. Eunuch Yao did not avoid her. Because these days, the minions in the palace have long been accustomed to it, and there is always such a beautiful eyebrow by His Majesty's side. The woman who was covered with a sense of silence and coldness listened. Whether it is a meeting in the imperial study or more important political affairs, His Majesty does not avoid her.
It's just that today's talk is about Fan Xian after all. It's her closest brother. So Fan Ruoruo still lowered his head slightly. It seems that he does not want to hear this, and he does not want His Majesty the Emperor to find anything unusual.
His Majesty the Emperor did not glance in her direction. Just silent. After a moment, the Emperor suddenly smiled slightly. What did Fan Xian do when he went out of the house today, and the inner court did not find any traces, but at least he knew that the shadow in the six places of the Supervision Yuan had returned. And in the Qing Temple. A dozen ascetics once fought a big battle with the two men.
Think of those bald ascetics. The smile on the emperor's face suddenly fell. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes, he didn't expect that these fanatical Qingmiao monks would dare not ask for the Holy Order. He made a move on Fan Xian, which made Emperor Qing feel quite disliked.
And think of the shadow of the real host of the six divisions of the Supervision Yuan. The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a hint of great interest, Chen Pingping had served him for decades, but he had always kept a lot of his secrets, in the past, the emperor was convinced of his loyalty. I don't care about anything. So although I knew that there was always a shadow floating around the black wheelchair. But Emperor Qing didn't delve into the real origin of that shadow land.
Now I know. A light flashed before the Emperor's eyes. It was the sword light stabbed by the white-clothed swordsman on the Hanging Temple a few years ago, this light was a little dazzling, which made his eyes squint even more, and he was faintly hoping that this young brother who looked at the sword would do something.
There is no need to think about what Fan Xian did when he left the house today. The emperor knew it. Fan Xian must have contacted his closest subordinates in Kyoto today, and at the same time sent some extremely important information in the direction of Xijing, Dongyi, and Jiangnan.
This is a very simple thing, the general trend is like this, Fan Xianruo wants to be in front of the dragon chair coercion. Continue to maintain its independence. You must mobilize all your strength. However, His Majesty the Emperor did not bother to pay attention to the specific content of those messages, because in his opinion. No matter how Fan Xian jumps, he is still on this piece of land after all.
This country. It was originally in the palm of Emperor Qing's hand.
And the emperor was curious. The son he loves and admires the most is under house arrest in Kyoto, what kind of thing can he do, if he faces the ground Ye Qingmei back then. For the sake of the people of Li on this country. For the sake of the survival of the entire Qingguo Land, for the will of too many people, there may be no need to say anything at all. Ye Qingmei could only silently go away, and no longer existed in the land of Qingguo. And what kind of choice will he and Ye Qingmei's son make? This is something that His Majesty the Emperor is very interested in.
Is this a kind of absolute self-confidence, calmly watching the next generation struggle evil taste?In fact, it is just that His Majesty the Emperor has not thought of throwing Fan Xian into the abyss until now. Because in his opinion. This son just misunderstood himself.
His Majesty the Emperor just didn't want to explain. Disdainful of explaining, this is a process of conscience, he sat in the palace forcefully, waiting for Fan Xian to enter the palace to explain. Come and ask for guilt, and then at that time, Your Majesty will tell Fan Xian in a harmonious voice, the old black dog who died is not as kind as you think, and the old black dog just wants to kill all the Li royal family, and he has also killed you. Although your surname is Fan. But it's actually surnamed Li.
And so on, but how to explain Ye Qingmei's matter? Maybe His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to touch that aspect at all.
"I'm going to go out for a walk. His Majesty the Emperor spoke, albeit in a calm voice. But obviously, because of what Scholar Hu said when he entered the palace earlier, His Majesty was very interested in dealing with Fan Xiandi's affairs. There is some certainty. That's why he was in a relaxed mood and thought of going out late at night like this.
There are only two people in the imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor said. Naturally, it was for Fan Ruoruo. Fan Ruoruo was slightly stunned. Stand up. took a piece of black fur and gold silk, and the ground was thin. Carefully draped it for His Majesty the Emperor, then supported his right arm, and slowly walked to the wooden door of the imperial study.
As soon as the wooden door opened, there were already more than a dozen eunuchs waiting outside, and Eunuch Yao bowed humbly. Waiting with a wheelchair. From the opening of His Majesty the Emperor's mouth, to the eunuchs outside preparing for all this. It only took a very short time, and the reaction was extremely fast.
The Emperor, however, looked at the wheelchair beyond the threshold. didn't show the slightest expression of appreciation on his face, just glanced at Eunuch Yao coldly, ignored the minions outside the door, and walked towards the palace at night with the support of Fan Ruoruo.
was coldly glanced at by His Majesty, and the cold sweat on Eunuch Yao's body flowed out, eight days have passed, but not many people actually know. The war between the monarchs and ministers in the imperial study that day caused His Majesty the Emperor to be seriously injured, although it did not threaten his life, but the emperor's body was still damaged in a short period of time that was difficult to recover, coupled with Chen Pingping's heart-cutting words that day. His Majesty's mental condition does not seem to be particularly good.
That's why Eunuch Yao prepared this wheelchair. But he didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to be extremely displeased, and he immediately reacted. Whether you don't want your courtiers to know the true condition of your body. Or is it because of this wheelchair that he thought of the old dean who made His Majesty angry and painful, Eunuch Yao had done a big mistake today.
This kind of mistake cannot be made. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is a more generous master to his servants than his relatives, and he will not be easily angered, so Eunuch Yao does not have to worry about his own life.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a group of eunuchs and palace maids with him. Quietly followed behind. Looking at the Miss Fan family in front of her gently moving forward with His Majesty, everyone didn't dare to follow too closely.
The *** hanging in the corridor of the palace is not bright, but it is just used to illuminate the bluestone road under your feet. In the past, once it was night, the nobles would be closed in the palace and not out, only the eunuchs and palace maids who had to do things. Will walk on these quiet promenades, dimly lit today. Shining on His Majesty the Emperor and Fan Ruoruo, a long or short shadow was dragged. The eunuchs and palace maids who met on the road were all trembling, and hurriedly knelt down beside the road.
As Eunuch Yao guessed. The emperor's previous displeasure was precisely because of the wheelchair at the entrance of the imperial study, once he saw this wheelchair. His Majesty thought naturally. For decades, the old black dog in a wheelchair. Often in the dead of night. Walk side by side with him in the palace. Talking about the general trend of the world like talking about homely things. The royal rolling, drawing up plans, estimating the number of dead man's land.
Emperor Qing is human. He misses those scenes very much. It is precisely because of this that Chen Pingping betrayed. Make these beautiful scenes worth remembering. But suddenly there was a lot more weirdness and disbelief, so he felt angry.
Except for anger. There was still a trace of mixed emotions in his heart, years ago. Because of the Hanging Temple. Fan Xian was seriously injured and almost died, and after the injury was healed, the young man also entered the palace in a wheelchair and talked with His Majesty the Emperor for a long, long time.
That was the first time His Majesty the Emperor had spoken to Fan Xian. Although the relationship between them is still not clarified, it is not like the one in the small building. But for Emperor Qing. It was also a very important meeting.
When he saw the wheelchair tonight, he remembered Chen Pingping. Thinking of Fan Xian after the injury, his emotions became complicated, and he said slowly: "The reason why I want to kill that old dog with a thousand knives is because this person is extremely ruthless and deceitful. ”
Fan Ruoruo grabbed his arm. Keep your distance. I didn't think it was too hard. But hear this. But I felt that His Majesty's body was as heavy as Mount Tai. The king wants his ministers to die. The minister had to die, especially the rebellion of Dean Chen. The sky is clear. No one can question His Majesty about this matter. In addition to Fan Xian...... More critically. His Majesty didn't need to explain anything at all, just like in the past few days, he never thought of taking the initiative to explain anything to Fan Xian. However, on such an early autumn night, when it was just about himself and His Majesty, His Majesty spoke.
What are these words for yourself? Or do you want to use your own mouth to tell your brother? Fan Ruoruo bowed her head slightly. There was no response. But my heart kept pondering.
"That old dog deliberately died at my hands in the end. In order to make Ann's resentment and hatred. Such a wicked person will not forget until he dies, how can I allow him to die happily. The emperor's voice was a little tired, and he glanced back at Fan Ruoruo. Back and forth. Looking quietly at the night palace. said: "Tomorrow, I will order An Zhi to enter the palace to ask for peace." ”
Fan Ruoruo's figure was slightly condensed. One hand on His Majesty's arm. The body squatted very slightly. A blessing. Said sincerely: "Your Majesty Xie." ”
The emperor was expressionless. It doesn't seem that in this cold war, he will give in first, but he still wants the daughter of the courtiers to express his gratitude. But he felt a little moved. After Miss Fan said these three words, she didn't say anything anymore. Just holding his arm steadily. Continue your walk around the palace. didn't mention anything about going out of the palace.
"You...... Larger than life. The emperor glanced back at her with deep meaning, "I used to come to this palace with the morning girl. It's just that when she gets older, she loses it. And she's a lot naughtier than you. ”
"Naturally, I can't match my sister-in-law. Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and answered softly. The Emperor smiled. didn't say anything, I felt that the little girl next to me was really light and self-conscious, but it was also pitiful, since Lin Wan'er grew up. There are probably few people who will be like the "real" juniors. accompanied the emperor the same, because the Son of Heaven had nothing to do. In the hearts of those who are alive or dead, the father ...... It is absolutely impossible to be a real father.
And in Fan Ruoruo's heart. It is also full of doubts and feelings, after getting along with these worlds, His Majesty the strange and majestic emperor seems to have gradually stepped down from the altar. He also took off his dazzling golden coat outside, and became more like an ordinary elder. Or an elder who gradually showed his old age after being seriously injured.
In the quiet night palace, Miss Fan took His Majesty for a walk, this scene fell in the eyes of many people, and this is not the first time that people have found that His Majesty treats Miss Fan abnormally, since His Majesty was injured in the imperial study, Miss Fan entered the palace for treatment. Everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty treated this young lady differently.
A little bit of an intelligent person. Everyone knows that Miss Fan's current status is a hostage, but there is no such hostage in this world, and her life in the palace is based on the rules of Lord Chen. In addition to returning to the palace to rest at night, throughout the day, this Miss Fan will accompany Her Majesty in the imperial study, and Your Majesty will not avoid her even when discussing state affairs.
Several scholars in the middle school were naturally shocked by this scene, but they were all people with status and status, so naturally they would not spread anything. It's just that when the scholar He often sees Miss Fan in the imperial study. The expression will look a little unnatural.
The inside of the palace is different, with many people talking. There was a lot of discussion for a while. Humans have always been extremely forgetful of a species. The eunuchs and maids in the palace may have forgotten the thunderstorm in the seventh year of Qingli, the bloody purge of the palace that started because of rumors, and re-devoted themselves to the great work of gossip.
Maybe it's because there were too many people who died three years ago. At this time, the palace was supplemented with many eunuchs and maids from Xindi. They don't know the murderous motives hidden in the royal bearing. Maybe it's because of His Majesty's attitude towards Miss Fan. It's really hard to understand. So rumors about the Imperial Study. Gradually, it spread in the palace.
His Majesty the Emperor is a gentleman who doesn't like women very much. It's not like a prostitute landlord. Over the years, there have only been more than a dozen hostesses in the palace. And there are only those four who have children, originally logically speaking, no one will guess those aspects, but His Majesty's attitude towards Miss Fan is really different, and another major event that has happened in the palace in the past two days can't help but touch the hearts of too many people.
This big event is the draft, the draft that starts in three days. The Qingguo Palace has stopped the draft activities for more than ten years and has reopened the curtain.
No one understands why at this juncture, His Majesty suddenly has the idea of enriching the harem, is it because of the crisis of mid-age. Let this monarch suddenly move to talk about the madness of the youth?
From three days ago. It is presided over by Taijoji Temple. The draft organized by the Inner Court and the Ministry of Rites began. Since Qingguo was already unfamiliar with this whole set of procedures, the Ministry of Rites seemed a little flustered. Qingguo Qilu Prefecture is afraid that it has not received the will yet, and those show girls who may be lucky enough to be elected to the palace have not heard any rumors, so they are the first to start moving. It's still Kyoto.
This is a rare opportunity, those princes and nobles, ministers and celebrities who have been dormant in Kyoto for too long. They all want to take advantage of this opportunity. It's in the midst of such a chaotic procedure. Still in time the night before yesterday, the first batch of official women of the right age were sent to the palace.
The palace, which had been quiet for many years, suddenly had a lot of youthful compelling meaning because of the presence of those young and graceful women, even though it was already night. But in the palace courtyard where the show girl was, there was still a crisp laugh from time to time.
Spring has sprung. Diffuse the palace in early autumn. That's why the people in the palace will look at the imperial study with some suspicion. If it is really the Sacred Heart moved. That won the emperor's heart, Miss Fan. How will it be placed?
"It's all a bunch of idiots. Yi Guifei's eyes drooped slightly, and she gently took the hand of the third prince and said with a sneer: "What kind of person is Your Majesty?" Who is your teacher? Such absurd words could come from this palace. ”
"Most of the people in the palace are stupid, and there are so many newcomers, maybe they have forgotten a lot of things. The third prince Li Chengping smiled, but the young prince's smile was a bit far-fetched. There was a faint melancholy between his eyebrows.
Concubine Yi looked at her son, sighed softly, and said, "Your Majesty is the master, so naturally you won't do those ridiculous things. This time, I picked a show girl to enter the palace, and I have nothing to do with the one in the imperial study, your father and the emperor...... It's just ......"
Before she finished speaking, Li Chengping raised his head, looked at his mother and said gloomily: "I heard that tomorrow my father will summon Mr. into the palace, but I will pick a show girl...... I'm afraid that my father will not be able to believe Mr. as he did before. ”
(For the story, Fan Ruoruo's presence in the palace is a very important thing.) Avoiding that one is less and less human. As for the draft. Naturally, it is a matter of fertility machines. Emperor Qing is not a ridiculous person, but he is a far-sighted person. The third child is worried about this. It's normal.
