65, the queen's instigation
This night, Shen Ciwu almost singled and sang to Li Mobai for half a night of conquest.
By the time she came down from the wall, her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak.
Li Mobai instructed her, "My voice is hoarse after singing all night, and I will have a good rest in the palace tomorrow, so I don't need to go to the queen to say goodbye." ”
Shen Ci sent Li Mobai with a gift, but soon after he left, he couldn't help but hum:
"I was conquered by you like this~Drink the poison you hidden~"
Shen Ciwu said that this is very dry......
*
Early the next morning.
Fortunately, Li Mobai spared Shen Ci from worrying about going to the queen to say goodbye today, otherwise she would have to become the object of 'Qianfu' today.
No matter how beautiful the fireworks were last night, they couldn't be as beautiful as the presumptuous scene of Shen Ciwu riding on Li Mobai's neck.
The concubines all saw it really, and the vinegar after brewing all night came out.
Concubine Ning said angrily: "She made a small promise, and if she didn't come to ask the queen mother, she wouldn't come?" ”
Concubine Hui smiled coldly, "The emperor promised her, what is the use of you saying so much, Concubine Ning?" Today, Hua Cui went to the palace early in the morning to deliver things and met the emperor. The emperor is in a very good mood today, he was still humming a little song when he was in the court, sisters guess, what is the emperor humming? ”
All the concubines were curious, and Concubine Hui motioned to the palace maid Hua Cui, who was waiting behind her, to reply.
Hua Cui said: "The slave maid doesn't listen very really, the tune of that song is very weird, I have never heard it before." The lyrics are also confusing. ”
"Oh?" Concubine Xi was curious: "What are you singing?" ”
Hua Cui cleared her throat and tried her best to imitate the tune of Li Mobai's humming song, "Just like this, conquered by you, drink the poison you hidden?" ”
After singing this sentence, the concubines in the hall began to talk again.
Concubine Chen glanced at Concubine Ning, shook her head and sighed: "You were reprimanded by the emperor for exposing Shen Promise to poison the emperor's decoction in front of the emperor, not to mention cutting your concubine position, and giving you the will that you will not be summoned to face the saint, and the grace of this life is over." Although you are dedicated to the emperor, you don't want to be a villain in vain. ”
Concubine Hui said: "No, the emperor sang it in the lyrics, and people would rather drink the poison that Shen promised to hide, rather than hear you say that Shen promised to give half a cent of right and wrong." How can such grace be attainable by us? ”
Concubine Xi followed and said: "It is true that Shen promised to be pregnant, and the emperor should favor her a little." But you can't even ignore your humility for her. Leaving the palace to go to the prince's mansion was supposed to be accompanied by the queen mother but she went to enjoy the fireworks yesterday the queen mother should have climbed the east city wall, but it was also Shen who agreed. ”
She said and looked at the queen, got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the concubine really feels wronged for you." ”
The queen raised her hand and ordered her to be flat, smiling dignified and graceful, "What is this palace wronged?" They are all intimate people who serve the emperor, today Shen promised to be favored, the emperor was happy to see her, and her more companionship can also relieve the fatigue of the emperor's busy court affairs, which is not a good thing. ”
"If any of you sisters receive such an honor in the future, this palace will only be happy for you, and will not feel wronged. I hope that you are also like this palace, the heart of the emperor is to make everything good for the emperor, adhering to this idea, you will not be jealous, and the blue sky and day make these many tones in front of the palace. ”
After the queen finished speaking, all the concubines got up and said in unison: "The ministers (concubines) and concubines have listened to the queen's teachings." ”
After saying a few more innocuous words of right and wrong, the queen ordered everyone to disperse today.
Just waiting for everyone to retreat towards their palaces, Xiangling, who was beside the queen, caught up with Concubine Ning.
"Concubine Ning, the queen has something to reward you, and I invite you to go back."
After she returned to the main hall and received the queen's seat, she saw a tray covered with red cloth on the table, so she asked, "Queen Mother, what is this?" ”
"Open it and take a look."
Concubine Ning lifted the red cloth, only to see that there was a plate of golden ingots in the tray.
She was confused for a while, and while she was excited, she didn't forget to ask, "What does the queen mean?" ”
The queen said softly: "There was a sudden change in your family, and the palace doesn't want to go into more detail about your father's affairs, but your mother and brothers at home have finally been forgiven by the emperor." The emperor confiscated your mother's money, and the palace knows that your mother and your brother are living hard, and it all depends on your monthly allowance in the palace. Now that you have been demoted to the position of a concubine, the monthly routine is much less every month, and you have your own difficulties in thinking about it. You can take these silver coins, and you can't take out more than this palace, but these should be enough to solve your urgent needs. ”
Concubine Ning was moved by the queen's words, and knelt in front of the queen with red eyes and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Since her downfall, she has been accustomed to seeing the face of the concubine next to her, and she is also used to listening to cynicism, and her heart has long been cold.
didn't expect that when she was in the most difficult time, the queen was willing to pull herself.
The queen got up and personally helped her up, took her hand and said: "You have been in the palace for a long time, and you have been with this palace for a long time, and this palace really regards you as her sister." Seeing you suffering, how can this palace not help you? ”
"The queen treats her concubines so well, and the concubines really can't repay ......"
"This palace is the queen, what you want, nothing is lacking, and you don't need to give anything back to this palace. There's just one thing, and this palace is a little worried about you. ”
"What?"
The queen sighed, so she said: "The contradiction between you and Shen is not a day or two, and she doesn't say anything now, it doesn't mean that she will not care about it in the future." Seeing that the emperor favors her very much, if she is born as a child, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be on an equal footing with you in terms of promotion. When the time comes, she has the prince's side, how can she not repay your revenge in the past? While she still has seven months to give birth, this palace thinks that you should have a good relationship with her and plan for the future. ”
Concubine Ning thanked the queen for her kind reminder, and retired with the tray of gold ingots.
After she left, the queen took some sunflower seeds and fed the budgies she raised, Xiangling came to the queen's side and said softly: "Niangniang, if you tell Concubine Ning like this, will she really go and make friends with Shen Promise?" ”
The queen teased the parrot with melon seeds and said with a smile: "Will she?" ”
After the parrot knocked the melon seeds, he learned to speak: "Stupid thing ~~~ stupid thing ~~~"
"Even the parrots raised in this palace know that she is a stupid thing. She was abolished as a concubine because of Shen Ciwu, how could she be smooth with this tone? And when she advocated that Xiangying go to Yong'an Palace to serve Shen Ci in the past, the palace knew that she was not well-intentioned. ”
She stroked the parrot's feathers very lightly, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What she wants to do is all up to her, the palace has never let her hurt Shen Ci, no matter what happens to him in Yong'an Palace, it has nothing to do with this palace." ”
