Chapter 11: Summons
The reason why Quanji was silent was actually to see Wei Wuchen's solution. Wei Wuchen knew this.
I saw him sigh a few times and pick up the teacup again.
After a while, a voice as cold as ice and snow morning frost burst out from between her lips and teeth, "Concubine Duan doesn't know the number of etiquette, disobeys the Queen Mother, and from today onwards she lives in the Duanxian Palace, copying the Book of Rites a thousand times." ”
This punishment was already a heavy punishment in the past, and Quan Ji was naturally satisfied, but today's occasion was different, and she was naturally dissatisfied.
"Does the emperor plan to deal with Concubine Duan like this?"
"The queen mother is not satisfied with her son's disposal, so how does the queen mother want to deal with it!" Wei Wuchen gritted his teeth and finished speaking, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently. He endured it again and again, but he didn't want this whole pole to become even worse, which was really infuriating.
Quan Ji pursed his lips, waiting for Wei Wuchen's words.
She knew in her heart that as soon as Wei Wuchen's words came out, Concubine Duan was at her disposal. And she can even use this to set an example for the monkey, telling people in the place that if she promises to be disrespectful to jade, she is disrespectful to her.
"Come on, Concubine Duan is disrespectful, stripped of the position of the eighth concubine, and relegated to the Immersion Bureau."
Hearing this, Concubine Duan and Wei Wuchen both changed color in shock, but their reactions were completely different.
Concubine Duan begged for mercy again and again, but Wei Wuchen bowed her head and acquiesced to the matter.
After Concubine Duan was dragged down, the entire hall began to be lively again under Quanji's order. They were all smiling as if they didn't remember what had just happened.
The birthday of the Empress Dowager ended in the event that Concubine Duan and Yu promised.
Concubine Duan was degraded by the Queen Mother, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to turn over in this life, and Yu promised to rely on the Queen Mother, so she naturally became the object of everyone's stitching.
For a while, the situation in the harem changed several times.
Sitting in front of the window, Yue Feng held her chin and quietly looked at the rainy and hazy night outside. Thinking about what Qingdong told her during the day, there was more or less wordless pain in my heart.
It stands to reason that she has been here for some time, and there have been many changes in the harem, these ladies should also know about her existence, why haven't they made a move! Hey, she can't stay here for ten or eight years.
After thinking about it like this for a long time, she finally couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep by the window.
Early the next morning, Qingdong called her up, and after helping her change her clothes, she gently opened her mouth: "Miss Yue, the Queen Mother wants to see you today." ”
"The Queen Mother?" Yue Feng asked in a low voice, his voice sounding a little unbelievable. The face hidden in the dark makes it impossible to see the look at the moment, she did not wait for the concubines, but waited for the queen mother first.
On the way to follow Qingdong to Taishou Palace, Yue Feng was very nervous.
In modern times, when she saw the queen mother on TV, she was majestic and terrifying, and today she really wants to see the real person, so she is really not nervous.
"Qingdong, do you know why the Queen Mother wants to see me."
"The slave doesn't know very well, but it seems that I heard that Yu promised to mention your existence to the Queen Mother." Try to keep her voice as low as possible, Qingdong is so frightened that she looks left and right.
They had already walked to the gate of the Jade Promise Palace, and everything needed to be careful, after all, what Jade Promise had done recently was really heartbreaking.
Jade promised? I have no contact with her, if she wants to see herself, just pass her over, why let the Queen Mother summon her! Well, I really can't figure it out, but when the soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, she will always think of a way.
"Miss Yue, when you meet the Queen Mother, you must be respectful." Stopping at the Taishou Palace, Qing Dong left this sentence and stepped aside.
Yue Feng took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped in.
In the hall, the Queen Mother sat on the main seat, Yu promised to feed her goat's milk, and the two were talking about something, smiling like flowers.
"The slave maid visited the Queen Mother, and the jade agreed." Kneeling on the ground, Yue Feng gasped.
She just knelt down so lightly, and her knees hurt terribly, so those who had been saluting for a long time were afraid that their knees were bruised.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked around, and this glance made the two people above clearly.
I saw that the Queen Mother was wearing a golden plum blossom dress, with a jade phoenix hairpin obliquely inserted on her head, smiling eyebrows and eyes, and a thin rouge on her face, so she couldn't tell her actual age at all. The woman on the side looked seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue brocade cloud skirt, the faint brilliance between her eyebrows and eyes flashed, flowing and shining, and there was a peony flower in full bloom on her sideburns.
"There is a wild girl there, and there is no courtesy at all, so she inquired about the mourning family and Yu agreed."
Because of her fascination, Yue Feng forgot the etiquette, and only listened to the sound of the Queen Mother, she slammed her head on the ground, "The Queen Mother and Jade promised to calm their anger, and the slave maid was rude when she first entered the palace, and I hope that the Queen Mother and Jade promise to forgive." ”
Listening to her respectful words and looking at her faintly trembling body, Quanji's anger receded slightly.
She motioned for Yu to agree to sit down, and said softly: "Get up, tell the mourning family what your name is, where you come from, and what your relationship is with the emperor." ”
Yue Feng swallowed his nervous saliva, stood up, and saluted, "The slave maid is called Yue Feng, the person on the border of Cheng Yuan of the Yue Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor is the savior of the slave maid." ”
"The mourning family is asking about your relationship with the emperor." Closing his eyes, the all-polar voice became a little heavier. She hates answering people who are not asked, so Yue Feng's answer naturally made her dissatisfied.
Hearing the meaning of Wen Fu, Yue Feng glanced up at Quan Ji slightly, and then knelt down in a deep voice, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, how dare the slave and maid have anything to do with the emperor!" ”
At this moment, Yue Feng replied to Quanji with this sentence, which is very appropriate.
Her words sounded literal at first glance, but the smart people knew it was a pun when they heard it, and she immediately answered her relationship with the emperor, and told Quanji what she knew about her identity.
"She's a smart girl." The Queen Mother chuckled, her eyes flashing with shallow approval. has been in the deep palace for many years, and it is the first time she has met a girl who talks to her so calmly.
When Quan Ji's words fell, Yue Feng stroked the beads of sweat on his forehead, and smoothed Shunyin's chest that was tense and undulating.
"Thank you Queen Mother for the compliment." After adjusting for a moment, she raised her eyes.
Facing her bright eyes, she was in a very happy mood, "You have been in the palace for a while, and it is very inappropriate to live in the Yangle Hall of the Yangli Palace for a long time, so it is better to come to the mourning family to be a companion." Although the words of the whole pole are inquiry, they are more of commands.
Yue Feng was stunned, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and nodded a little reluctantly.
She became the escort of the Queen Mother, and it would be even more difficult to leave the palace in the future, but right now, she didn't dare to refuse.
Getting an answer that he was satisfied with, Quan Jiwen smiled, and there was a cluster of extremely bright sparks in his eyes.
Locked with a full smile, the last trace of fear in Yue Feng's heart disappeared.
She thought that Quanji itself was not as cold and majestic as it seemed, but the jade promise sitting next to Quanji was very inconsistent with the respectful look on her face, because when Yue Feng was talking to Quanji, she clearly saw the cold light in her eyes, although it was only for a moment, but the feeling of being cut open by the cold knife, Yue Feng couldn't forget it.
Exiting the Taishou Palace, Yue Feng didn't have time to digest what had just happened, Qing Dong hurriedly came to her, trembling and said, "Miss Yue, the queen will summon you today." ”
"Ahh Yue Feng held his forehead and shook his head unconsciously. Either you don't come, or you want to come together, it's really depressing.
Along the outside of the Taishou Hall to the left, Yue Feng and Qingdong walked for a while before arriving at the Suqi Palace Guide Hall where the queen lived.
Qingdong is the same as in the Taishou Palace, waiting for Yue Feng outside.
Compared with the nervousness when he saw the Empress Dowager Quanji, Yue Feng was even more nervous when facing Empress Wei. She often saw in books that many queens were afraid that their status would be threatened, so they beat some women who were rumored to have an affair with the emperor to death.
"Slave maid to meet the queen." Stepping into the hall, Yue Feng knelt on the ground respectfully, his eyes looking at everything in the hall from time to time.
Hearing the voice, Empress Wei looked at Yue Feng lightly, and then continued to fiddle with the objects in his hands, without any intention of telling Yue Feng to get up.
"It's really better than the Queen Mother." Because he had been kneeling for a long time, Yue Feng unconsciously muttered this sentence.
"What are you talking about?" Because she was far away, Empress Wei didn't hear what Yue Feng was talking about, but her voice was unusually cold, which made Yue Feng feel a chill.
Taking a few deep breaths, Yue Feng pursed his lips, eager to slap himself twice. Really, what kind of occasion is this, how can you talk nonsense!
Thinking of this, she lowered her head a few points and said softly: "Back to the queen's words, the slave maid was just lamenting that there is such a beautiful person as Niangniang in the world." Although this statement is urgent, it is indeed true.
Everyone loves to listen to praise, and Empress Wei is no exception. I saw that after hearing this, she covered her mouth and laughed, "You girl is really good at talking." ”
Yue Feng smiled and slowly raised her head.
"Get up, this palace is looking for you today, and there is nothing important, I just want to ask you if you are willing to come to this palace." Locking the pure gold plum blossom armor on her fingers, Empress Wei narrowed her narrow eyes, and the corners of her eyes paid attention to Yue Feng's every move.
Yue Feng's face changed, and his head hung down again.
This queen didn't care about her relationship with the emperor first, just like the Queen Mother Quanji. Instead, she said this, thinking about it, she sent someone to find out her relationship with the emperor early. This kind of situation is really frightening.
"Why, I don't want to come to this palace, I'm afraid that this palace will treat you badly." Seeing that Yue Feng was silent, Empress Wei raised her hand and touched the Mo jade earrings, and her expression became cold in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman had just complimented her, she wouldn't have been so patient now.
Yue Feng sighed lightly, holding the complicated lines on the skirt and thinking for a moment, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.
