203 Stairs (3rd Watch)
It was Shi Huan, who smiled when he heard the words, his expression looked a little cold, and when he saw the person retreating, he looked at Gu Yansheng, "The story is not bad, right?" β
Gu Yansheng sneered, stood up, shook his robe, looked out of the courtyard, and instructed Mama, "Go and pour a cup of tea, Your Majesty the Emperor...... It's coming. β
Concubine Xian has been the first of the four concubines over the years, and she is the biological mother of the four princes. Now that the fourth prince is only more than ten years old, he naturally can't compete with his three brothers. But...... The crown prince has not been established for a long time, and everyone can see that His Majesty is still unwilling to abdicate, a few years is enough time for a young prince to be reborn, and what the four princes need is just time. And Concubine Xian's move not only hurt the concubine's vein, but also made the queen lose power, it is indeed killing two birds with one stone, and even because of this, it may invalidate Shi Huan's marriage contract.
The story...... It sounds reasonable, the characters, the motivations, all make sense.
But if you look closely, it is full of loopholes. Let's not talk about anything else, if this thing wants to be established in an orderly manner, it needs to be based on the unintentional coincidence of many people.
For example, the negligence of the cook in Qifeng Palace can give the other party a chance. The aunt has no quarrel, but it does not mean that she will be negligent and slack, Shi Huan does not dare to guarantee everything in the harem, but she will not let a strange little palace maid easily get her hands on such an important place as the dining room in the palace.
For example, although this tire must be slippery, what if it is slipped in the concubine's own bedroom? Isn't this trick of killing two birds with one stone in vain? painstakingly laid out a big picture, and in the end only let the concubine slip the tire? In the final analysis, the concubine's slippery tire can't actually hurt the left phase, but it's just a lack of grace that may come with it.
For example, what if a little palace maid tells the concubine? Although the forces of the left prime minister do not have the background of the family, it is more than enough to protect a palace maid and deal with a family of imperial doctors at the same time......
How could the emperor not be able to find the above loopholes that could be discovered once they were scrutinized.
In the final analysis, the emperor needs a step, a step to personally bend down and carry the queen up. After last night's anger cooled down overnight, the first step he took for himself was to be kind to Shi Huan who entered the palace to visit the queen. After that, the emperor also needed a step to pick up the queen and apologize to the Shi family, this step he couldn't build by himself, and he needed someone to hand it to him.
And Concubine Xian is that person. There is no need to hesitate to choose between Concubine Xian and the queen, a family of imperial doctors and the Shi family. After all, in fact, he himself knows that the possibility of this matter having something to do with the queen is very small.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see His Majesty the Emperor in court clothes hurrying over, followed by dozens of eunuchs and palace maids, and Father-in-law Chang walked quickly and followed His Majesty's side closely.
Before the people of Qifeng Palace could report, the emperor had already stepped into the palace gate, and hurriedly came inside, before he went up the steps, his hand had already stretched out, "Empress...... I thought that you had always been a wooden person, and you really couldn't afford to kneel if you knelt...... I'm just putting on a show for outsiders, so why are you more serious? What do you think? Can you stand it? β
Gentle, considerate, with a little concealed and just the right amount of care, it can be seen, but it will not appear deliberate.
The queen stood up with the emperor's support, handed over the steps, and tacitly took the steps, "Your Majesty is lenient, but the concubines can't be ignorant of etiquette." Regardless of the truth of this matter, the concubine's negligence is punishable. The concubines did not manage the harem well, and His Majesty punished the concubines, which is a matter of course. β
"You......" The emperor sat down with someone in his arms, and then looked up at Shi Huan, "You girls of the Shi family, all of them are like elm heads, since you girl is here, won't you pick up your aunt?" Why did she kneel for half a night? If I am delayed by the things next to me, how long will I kneel here? β
Shi Huan pursed his lips and smiled, with a little unworldly delicateness, "Your Majesty is a person who wants to grow old with his aunt, and he naturally has the same affection, even if he is delayed by the things next to him and can't pull away, he must be worried about his aunt in his heart, and he will definitely not let his aunt kneel down all the time." β
When the emperor heard this, he laughed and laughed.
On the side, Gu Yansheng silently pressed his temples, stood against the door, and coldly watched this group of people acting for each other to show the dozens of palace people outside, and then spread the "rumors" of how the emperor and queen were loving through the mouth of the palace people, but it was just ...... When did this little girl practice this good ability to be yin and yang, telling lies and pretending to be naΓ―ve.
There is also affection for each other...... It sounds like it's infiltrating, but she said it smoothly, hehe. Still worried? The only thing the emperor was worried about was whether the chair under his ass was stable, as for the woman, as for the imperial heir? For him, this matter is just a provocation to his imperial power, but there is no true intention.
No matter how Gu Yansheng slandered, at least His Majesty the Emperor was very happy, and he didn't leave after drinking the tea prepared by his grandmother, he stayed and had a meal together, and after eating the meal, he said a lot of thoughtful words, and remembered that a while ago, the small affiliated countries paid tribute to some exquisite cloth, and there were not a few horses in total, so they all carried it over and let the three of them share.
The queen symbolically took a horse, saying that the color was too young, let the two children choose, Gu Yansheng didn't ask for it, and the emperor was not angry, with a wave of his hand, he ordered Shi Huan to take it all back.
Everyone present knew that this reward was originally given to Shi Huan by His Majesty, and it must be brought back to the Shi family through Shi Huan's hands.
Where you hurt your face, you must make up for it.
In the end, it was the queen who repeatedly persuaded His Majesty to spend more time with the concubine who had a slippery fetus these days, and the emperor sighed at the queen's benevolence and magnanimity, and left "reluctantly", and even expressed his father-son affection with a pleasant face before leaving.
In this regard, His Royal Highness Gu just lazily folded his arms and rolled his eyes, and saw the emperor's figure disappearing outside the palace gate, so he sneered, "A wife slipped and was bedridden, a wife entered the cold palace, a son was gone before it was formed, and a son whose mother lost power, he was good, and he was still elated, so he almost hummed a song......"
Shi Huan smiled, didn't speak, beckoned Pian Yu to come in and take the queen's pulse, just took this opportunity to take a good pulse and see how the queen's body was.
The queen glanced at her son, stretched out her wrist, and said angrily, "Just you, dare to say anything!" I'm not afraid that the wall has ears...... Trouble girl. β
