Chapter 53: I Like It
"Why does the emperor want to get a pepper room for that slut? Why? ”
Li Yan asked people to make a pepper room in Fu Yao's palace, and it immediately spread throughout the palace.
Knowing the news, Concubine Jing was so angry that she broke another set of good tea sets.
Looking at the scattered debris on the ground, Concubine Jing's face was a little rugged.
"The pet of the pepper room, does he really regard that stupid queen as a favorite concubine? What's so good about the queen, except for being more beautiful, which point is comparable to the palace? If you say that the pet of this pepper room should be given to this palace! Concubine Jing gritted her teeth and said.
Jealousy, her face was blue and purple for a while.
When she calmed down, she looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and went to look for Xiangmei, who was the most valued by her: "Does the Queen Mother know?" ”
"The Queen Mother knew about it early in the morning and was angry." Xiangmei knelt at the front and hurriedly replied at this moment.
Concubine Jing thought about it, and then had an idea in her heart: "My grounding will not be lifted in a few days, but it is also appropriate to do my filial piety in the Queen Mother's palace." The Queen Mother will not blame me. Let's go, go to the Queen Mother's Palace. ”
After dressing up, Concubine Jing shook his thin waist like a water snake and went to the queen mother's palace one by one.
As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, he saw that Li Yan was also outside, and he was about to go inside.
Concubine Jing hurriedly lifted her skirt, walked two steps quickly, and stood beside Li Yan: "Your Majesty! You wait for the concubine, and the concubine goes in with you. ”
Li Yan stepped out of the step and took a step back, glanced at Concubine Jing, and actually did not refuse, but nodded and agreed: "Then let's go in together." ”
The emperor is in a good mood today, could it be that he is looking at my good dress today, so the dragon heart is happy?
Concubine Jing, who originally wanted to see Fu Yao's jokes, saw the emperor smiling at herself, and suddenly felt that her waist was about to straighten.
Sure enough, when I go out on weekdays, I have to dress up beautifully in order to attract the attention of the emperor.
In the past, although the queen's fool was a little stupid, she wore all the clothes she wore were good-looking.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's just for the sake of competing for favor, and it's showy.
Like she had paid by mistake before.
Concubine Jing thought silently in her heart, and followed Li Yan into the Empress Dowager's palace.
As soon as I walked in, I heard the sound of porcelain breaking.
"Your Majesty, don't you take me as an old thing in your eyes now?" The Queen Mother gasped, obviously out of breath.
Concubine Jing immediately knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother, and her heart trembled: "The Queen Mother." ”
The appearance of Concubine Jing did not leave the Queen Mother's eyes, but instead looked at Li Yan with a sharp gaze.
Li Yan took care of himself, sat down on the chair next to the Queen Mother, and Wuyue immediately poured him tea.
"Mother, I really don't know what I did wrong. I also hope that the queen mother will give you some advice. Li Yan picked up the cup on the side, took a sip and asked.
Originally, the Queen Mother was not really angry, but when she heard this, she became angry.
She only heard today that Li Yan wanted to build a pepper room for the queen, but the first emperor didn't give her favor.
Why can a fool get the favor of the pepper room?
After getting the news, she immediately asked people to stop such a ridiculous thing, but they didn't expect that those people actually said that this was the emperor's will, and they didn't dare to disobey.
Now these people only listen to the emperor's words, not the queen mother's words?
The Queen Mother was angry, so she immediately called Li Yan over.
"Emperor, now that the court is asking for money, you are now building a lot of construction and making so many tricks in the queen's palace, aren't you afraid that the people of Yushitai will sue you?" The Queen Mother calmed down for a while and then asked in a cold voice.
Li Yan put down the teacup and looked at the Queen Mother with a cold face: "The certificate is just to let people make a pepper room in the queen's palace, and the cost of silver taels is less than a pagoda built by the queen mother when you were a year ago." Since Yu Shitai did not sue the Queen Mother, he naturally would not come to persuade me. ”
As soon as she said this, even Concubine Jing, who was kneeling, felt that her heart was beating extremely fast.
Where can this be the same?
The pagoda built by the Queen Mother was to pray for the blessing of the world, although it cost a lot of silver taels and used a lot of civil engineering, but it was also for the world.
Li Yan's words seem to be that the queen mother filled her own pockets and deliberately used the queen mother's authority to build a pagoda.
Thinking of this, Concubine Jing hurriedly went to see the Queen Mother's expression.
Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to pretend to be angry today, but now that she hears this sentence, even if it is fake, she will immediately become really angry.
"Emperor, this palace sees that you are blinded! Some time ago, the queen was favored alone, and the palace didn't talk about you, and now you still have to do such a rebellious thing! The Queen Mother's voice raised a few points.
She went to see Li Yan, and a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes.
During this period of time, some of her arrangements in the court were somehow either devalued or transferred.
Although it was a few inconsequential officials, those people happened to be all people she promoted.
She has been in power since the emperor was ten years old, and now she has her own big examples in the court, but now she doesn't know about several transfers.
Could it be that the emperor felt that his wings were stiff and planned to oppose her?
Not only the former dynasty was implicated.
Even in the harem, Li Yan can do whatever he wants, and now he wants to build a pepper house for Fu Yao.
What exactly does he want to do now?
"Mother, I have now married a wife, so I naturally have my own ideas. Besides, the pepper room is what I want, so why not? After carefully observing the expression on the Queen Mother's face, Li Yan said quietly.
The Queen Mother, who was originally angry, suddenly changed her face: "This, what do you mean by this?" ”
She really didn't understand what Li Yan was talking about.
Li Yan's face did not change: "I like spices, but I am afraid that people from Yushitai will read books, so I put the pepper room in the queen's Fengluan Palace." Isn't the queen mother still not allowing me to have some hobbies of my own? ”
As he spoke, he looked at it coldly and met the eyes of the Queen Mother.
A hint of confusion flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
When did Li Yan start to like spices?
How did she not know?
The emperor's preferences are remembered by all palaces, and the queen mother naturally remembers them here, but after so many years, she has never heard that Li Yan likes spices.
"Do you really like it?" The Queen Mother really didn't know what look to use to look at Li Yan.
A big man would actually like spices, something that only boudoir women like.
"Naturally, I like it." Li Yan said lightly.
His determined appearance makes people can't help but think that maybe what he said is true.
Concubine Jing, who was kneeling there, had an idea.
Concubine Jing stood up and sat next to the Queen Mother, looking full of filial piety
After hammering his back for a long time, he turned his head to look at Li Yan who was drinking tea.
Li Yan didn't speak, and Concubine Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you like it, you can build a pepper room in the palace of the concubine, so that every time you come to the palace of the concubine, you can smell the fragrance." ”
"The queen mother said just now, don't build a lot of construction in the palace. In that case, you don't have to put in the effort in your room. Li Yan said, holding the teacup to block a hint of a smile from the corner of his mouth.
