Chapter 297: Fire Rises in the Palace
Just when Lu Bu was rushing to the capital, something was happening in the palace of the capital, which was not big or small.
Ning'an Palace:
Concubine Liu sat on the chair above, her face full of displeasure.
Emperor Renzong stood at the bottom of the steps, looking sideways at the door.
He wasn't waiting for someone, but deliberately did not dare to look at Concubine Liu.
The two palace maids in the room also looked nervous, in such an atmosphere, who knows if the emperor and the concubine will sprinkle their anger on their heads?
After being silent for a while, Concubine Liu finally couldn't help it and said, "The mourning family knows your thoughts, and they also want that Jin'er to accompany the emperor all day long, but the rules of this harem cannot be messed up." That Jin'er must be from a lowly background, and she is a palace maid, if you insist on taking her by your side, how to face your father and emperor in the future will also attract the dissatisfaction of the concubines. ”
The emperor was silent.
"The matter between you and the imperial concubine has caused a lot of discussions, and many people have come to the mourning family to complain, and the reason why the mourning family has been reluctant to mention it is because although the imperial concubine is the widow of your father, but not long after entering the palace, your father and the emperor have been killed, and they are also pitiful." Concubine Liu said again, "However, this time is different, Jin'er is just a slave maid, as the king of a country, you have not been in the court for several days for this slave maid, and you have stayed alone in the imperial study, so snubbing the concubines is really difficult for the mourning family to explain in front of everyone." ”
The emperor was stubborn and did not speak, and he did not even turn his face.
Concubine Liu also had nothing to do with herself, the emperor, and when she saw that he just didn't speak, she could only lament alone.
"Okay, the words of the mourning family have been finished, the mourning family will not force you in this matter, but you have to think about it yourself, go to court early tomorrow, and don't delay the national affairs."
The Emperor has been waiting for such words.
"The queen mother, please rest early, the emperor's affairs will be solved by the emperor himself." After the emperor finished speaking, he refused to say a word more, and turned his head to leave.
Looking at the emperor's back, Concubine Liu smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Caiju has returned to her home since she followed Concubine Liu back to Beijing, and Jifeng has not heard from her since the last time they met.
"Is there any news from the people sent to inquire about Jin'er's whereabouts?" Concubine Liu asked a palace maid beside her.
"Back to the concubine, there is no news yet." The palace maid replied, I don't know if she wanted to please her, and added, "Could it be that this Jin Concubine Niangniang has been ...... long live?"
Before she finished speaking, Concubine Liu's little hand had already hit the palace maid's face firmly.
"Presumptuous, in front of the mourning family, he actually called that slave his mother, and he was so disrespectful to my family's emperor, what should I be guilty of?" Concubine Liu shouted.
The palace maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"The slave and maid are talkative, the concubine Niang Niang Hugh is angry, and it is important to take care of her body."
Concubine Liu had already picked up the teacup on the table, and was about to fall down at the palace maid's face, but after hesitating for a moment and changing directions, she fell on the side of the palace maid's body with a "pop".
Even so, a few drops of the splashed tea fell on the palace maid's face, and a few small blisters bulged in an instant.
The palace maid was in pain, but she didn't dare to scream, she just covered her face and kept crying.
Concubine Liu glanced at her, got up and walked to the back.
Another palace maid hurriedly ran over to help Concubine Liu, but she pushed her away.
"Go find a royal doctor for her."
"The slave obeys." The palace maid didn't expect that Concubine Liu would not forget to help her companion heal when she was angry, and immediately agreed.
"That's right." Concubine Liu turned around, "After the busy, I want someone to go out of the palace to find the colorful chrysanthemum and come back, if there is any news of Jifeng, come back and sue me too." ”
Most of the palace maids still remember Ji Feng and Cai Ju, the two sisters who were most trusted by Concubine Liu at the beginning.
If today's events were to be on the side of these two people, it shouldn't be like this.
"The slave maid will ask people to go out of the palace to find the two of them back." The palace maid agreed.
Concubine Liu was going to go back to the back to rest first.
"Princess Changning has arrived."
Outside, the voice of a eunuch on duty was suddenly heard, and then a palace maid ran in.
Concubine Liu's brows frowned, how could this girl come to join in the fun?
Regarding the matter of Princess Changning's house slave Kong Si kidnapping Ji Tianzuo's daughter, Concubine Liu has already heard about it, and she also knows the result, although this arrogant princess has come to the palace to make trouble with the emperor several times, but Concubine Liu has not asked.
Concubine Liu had to turn around and sit back in her chair.
Princess Changning really came, but she didn't come because of Kong Si's matter, but came to Concubine Liu to discuss the matter of being a matchmaker for Shen Pu and Miss Ji.
"As Her Royal Highness the princess of a country, she still has to be a matchmaker for the ministers of the DPRK and China, do you think that there have been fewer things in the palace in recent days?" Concubine Liu scolded angrily.
Princess Changning disagreed.
"Queen Mother, did my royal brother make you angry again? Erchen is doing good deeds, look at that Shen Pu, although he is the secretary of the criminal department, he doesn't even have a lady by his side, isn't it because my royal family doesn't care enough about his subordinates? Also, that Ji Tianzuo also had meritorious service for my Great Song Dynasty, and his daughter's experience was also sympathetic, such a happy marriage, did the queen mother still refuse to help? ”
Concubine Liu glared at Princess Chang Ning.
"You ghost, think the mourners can't see your ghost thoughts? The matter of Jin'er is not over, do you still have to find out about the matter of the imperial concubine? ”
Princess Changning was told by Concubine Liu, and couldn't help blinking.
"Queen Mother Shengming, if you don't kill the majesty of my royal brother at this time, I'm afraid that all women in the world will be recruited into the palace by him in the future."
"The imperial concubine is the widow of the first emperor, Fei than that Jin'er is just a palace maid, if you want to move her, I am afraid that your royal brother will be even more troublesome, at that time, how should it end?" Concubine Liu said.
"The minister has already thought about this." Princess Chang Ning seemed to be very confident, and said, and then, lowering her voice, she said something in Concubine Liu's ear.
Concubine Liu didn't speak, lowered her head and pondered for a moment.
"You are making such a fuss, in the future, your royal brother will be angry, don't tell the mourning family to know about it."
"The queen mother can rest assured, as long as Shen Pu marries Miss Ji, the future affairs will be done by themselves. It's just that this matter of going to find the royal concubine still needs the help of the queen mother. Princess Changning said happily.
Concubine Liu thought about it again.
"It's okay, the mourning family heard that this Lord Shen has no relatives around him, and only this cousin is left, so it is reasonable for her to come and make decisions for her cousin." Concubine Liu agreed.
Subsequently, Concubine Liu called a palace maid and asked her to go to Caihe Palace to ask Fei Caihe to come over.
"It would be a good thing if this could be done here." Concubine Liu said.
Princess Chang Ning smiled secretly in her heart.
My royal brother wants to accept the palace maid as a concubine, and the queen mother is so embarrassed, if she knows that this former emperor's favored concubine, while being favored by the emperor, she also has to have an affair with her cousin, how should she be released?
Some people died, but not completely......
