Chapter 498: The concubine returns to favor
When Pei Yao came to Yuzhang Palace at night, he stretched his neck to look at it everywhere in the harem.
Seeing that the royal car really stopped outside the Yuzhang Palace, many people gritted their teeth angrily.
As soon as the emperor came, didn't it mean that Concubine Zhao Guifei was going to regain her favor, of course she was angry.
After all, no one has gained a firm foothold in the newcomers below.
In Zhongcui Palace, Wang Cainu came in from outside in a hurry, and when she saw Qiu Baolin's face, it was an output.
"Don't you know, the emperor just went to the Yuzhang Palace, saying that the concubine knelt in the Baohua Hall for a long time this afternoon, chanting and praying for the emperor, and asked the mage for the talisman treasure, put it in a purse made by himself, and sent it to the emperor, the emperor must have relented!"
Hearing this, Qiu Baolin's face was helpless.
"Sister, sit down, I already know about this."
"You know and you're still so indifferent?!"
Wang Cainu's buttocks just bounced up next to the embroidery stool.
"According to me, you will quickly call yourself sick, say that you are not feeling well, and invite the emperor to Zhongcui Palace to see you, otherwise if the emperor meets with Concubine Zhao and the old relationship is rekindled, then there will still be a good son for you?"
When she said this, she immediately pulled Rong Xiu over, and was about to tell her to go, but she didn't see a trace of boredom flashing in Qiu Baolin's eyes.
"Sister, wait a minute!" Qiu Baolin stopped Wang Cainu's movements, "My sister is for my good, I know, but if I send someone to invite the emperor this time, I will definitely not be able to invite him, but it will cause the disgust of the concubine." ”
"How could this be?" Wang Cainu frowned, "How did your current illness come about?" Isn't that Concubine Zhao ordering people to treat your diet harshly, and give you starvation raw, the emperor knows it in his heart, and feels sorry for you, you will be uncomfortable, the emperor will look at Concubine Zhao, and he will remember your grievances, so why do you have to leave Concubine Zhao to see you. ”
What she said was the truth, but Qiu Baolin still refused and said in a low voice.
"Our people went to the Yuzhang Palace, and they must be able to see the emperor, the emperor finally went to the Yuzhang Palace, the concubine must order people to see it to death, where will the people of Zhongcui Palace be allowed to approach, not to mention it, and to attract disgust again."
"Then, then watch the emperor and the concubine rebuild the old good?"
Wang Cainu seemed to be displeased.
After all, with Qiu Baolin's light during this time, her life has been much better.
After being reprimanded by the emperor in the imperial garden before, she was neglected by the palace people for a long time, and she didn't want to live that kind of day at all.
Entering the palace was originally for the blessing of brocade clothes and jade food.
As if seeing her thoughts, Qiu Baolin took her hand and said in a low voice.
"The emperor won't forget me so quickly, and the concubine won't, and now that the concubine is favored, I'm afraid that she will deal with me, and then I will ask the emperor to call the shots, wouldn't it be more effective."
"That's right, at that time, the emperor will definitely feel that the concubine has repeatedly taught and will become more and more disgusted!"
Wang Cainu nodded with bright eyes.
Qiu Baolin smiled, "Yes, so my sister doesn't have to worry about me anymore, by the way, I sent a cup of pigeon soup to the dinner room tonight, I don't like to drink it, I was about to ask someone to send it to my sister, my sister happened to be here, so take it back and drink it, it has to be hot." ”
Hearing this, Wang Cainu's mind suddenly drifted elsewhere.
He picked up the pigeon soup and went back to his lodgings.
When she left, Qiu Baolin's face turned cold.
Rong Xiu also pouted, "This Wang Cainu, Baolin called her sister a few times, and she really regarded herself as a high-ranking person, and every time she came back, she even ate and took it with us, and she was not ashamed." ”
"Okay, it's just a cup of soup, in exchange for a quiet ear, what's worth thinking about, besides, she's still useful." Qiu Baolin said coldly.
Hearing this, Rong Xiu immediately closed his mouth and nodded respectfully.
At that time, in the Yuzhang Palace, Concubine Zhao, who had finally regained her favor, was nestled in the emperor's arms at the moment, enjoying the emperor's personal service of wiping her hair.
"The emperor, the color of the concubine's nails dyed today is good?"
Fang Yu raised a pair of jade hands and shook them in front of Pei Yao.
"It's good-looking, your hands are white, and dyed with this Kodan makes your ice muscles and jade bones even more beautiful." Pei Yao hooked his lips, and said at the end, "Did you really go to Baohua Hall to kneel for a long time today?" I told you, just make a show, you are weak, where can you stand such a knee, and I will see if your knee is injured later. ”
Today, I heard Hong Zheng say that when Concubine Zhao knelt in Baohua Hall for a long time, Pei Yao immediately felt distressed.
If I hadn't come to Yuzhang Palace, the second princess and the fourth prince were there, and the two small ones had never had a chance to ask, and they wouldn't have waited until they were bathed to care.
Fang Yu leaned back with his head tilted, his eyebrows and eyes crooked.
"Don't worry, Yuanhe put two futons on the concubines, they are very soft, the left and right are gone, kneel down, pray for the emperor and the two children, it's also good, that talisman treasure is not for drama, the emperor must remember to wear it!"
Looking at the charming and lovely appearance of the woman in front of him, Pei Yao couldn't help but have a little more curvature at the corner of his lips.
He lowered his head and gave a kiss to the center of the woman's eyebrows.
"Okay, I know your mind, I must cherish it, but this knee still has to be seen, you bumped it in the past, you will be bruised, this kneeling for a long time, I don't think it is now, tomorrow may be uncomfortable, or ask someone to bring the ointment, I will apply some to you."
"Then the concubine is respectful, it is better to obey the fate."
Fang Yu pursed his lips and smiled.
After cleaning up and lying down, Pei Yao said something else.
"Shangyang has a letter that has come to Kyoto, and their people are also cautious, and my secret guards have been following, for fear of startling the snake, they haven't intercepted it yet."
"It's a coincidence that this letter came, I'm afraid Concubine Yan got the news, and it was time for her to take action again." Fang Yu said, "It's an opportunity to catch its flaws." ”
Pei Yao nodded.
"Yes, everything around Concubine Yan is nothing different during this time, I let her be promoted to the throne and move to the palace, although some people were successfully placed in it, but Concubine Yan is cautious, these people are only waiting on the periphery, and they haven't seen any useful news."
"Concubine Yan has always been very cautious, but the more cautious she is, the more it shows that the news they want to hide is terrible, and the concubine boldly guesses that it may be related to the emperor's safety, otherwise, what is so difficult to ask her to enter the palace for so long."
Fang Yu said in a low voice.
This is naturally with Pei Yao's thoughts, so Pei Yao bowed his head and said.
"The thief of Shangyang Country is not dead, I am afraid that there will be a war in the future, the treasury of Daqi has copied corrupt officials in the past two years, beaten the clan, and the compensation of Shangyang Country at the beginning, but it is also abundant."
"But I'm afraid that the Shangyang Kingdom has also been preparing for it." Fang Yu sighed lightly.
When Emperor Chengjing was in power, he made a miasma of black smoke, but the old monarch of Shangyang really governed Shangyang Kingdom into a powerful country.
If you take the initiative to go to war, you must have a surplus of grain and grass, and your soldiers and horses will be strong.
If it weren't for the lack of heirs, the crown prince deliberately created civil strife in order to seize power and ascend the throne, I am afraid that the war between the two countries at that time would not have been good for Daqi.
Pei Yao is one mess after another, slowly taking care of it, but Lin Chen, the monarch of Shangyang Kingdom, has a good hand of cards when he ascends the throne.
And if the other party ascends the throne after losing the battle, in order to stabilize his position and reputation, he will inevitably have to fight again.
But Pei Yao's side naturally won't back down.
After all, as long as Shangyang Kingdom is subdued, his throne can be regarded as sitting upright.
Fang Yu could guess, Pei Yao could naturally guess, so he said in a low voice.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and let's start with Concubine Yan first."
