Chapter 135. scapegoat
Fu Ruyin didn't panic at all, raised her head slightly, took two steps forward to stand in front of the Queen Mother, and then saluted: "Concubine Chengqian Palace often visits the Queen Mother in the Fu family, and wishes the Queen Mother a long life, auspicious health and peace." ”
"Come here." The Queen Mother beckoned her to stand in front of her, looked at her carefully, and asked softly, "Where are you from?" How old are you this year? ”
Fu Ruyin answered them one by one.
Knowing that she was sixteen years old, the Queen Mother was silent for a while before she let go of her hand, looked at the queen and said: "There are newcomers in the palace, and you, as the queen, must take care of everything and take care of everything." ”
"Yes, the concubine understands." The queen lowered her eyes and replied, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Liu Baimei standing in the corner, and then looked at An Lingrong, who was standing behind Concubine Duan, and saw that her expression had not changed at all, and she couldn't help frowning.
After the palace audience, everyone went back to the palace, just waiting for who would be the first to sleep tonight.
"Rong'er, who do you think it will be?" On the way back to the palace, Shen Meizhuang was half a step behind An Lingrong and asked softly, his eyes falling on the first few newcomers in front of him.
An Lingrong smiled, and glanced back at Liu Baimei who was following behind him: "I am a protector, and I think that the people in my palace should be the first to sleep." ”
Liu Baimei Yingying looked at An Lingrong and tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Concubine Xie Niangniang's grace." ”
She couldn't help but think of the scene this morning, and it was so strange that An Lingrong asked someone to explain last night, asking her to wait at the door of the Chengxi Palace early in the morning today, and to dress up carefully, so that she could meet the emperor first.
"You are ......" At that time, the emperor was about to go back to the Yangxin Palace to deal with government affairs, and suddenly saw Liu Baimei standing at the door of the palace waiting.
"The concubine is the Liu family who newly entered the palace two days ago, and she was blessed with divine grace and canonized as a promise." Liu Baimei leaned over and replied.
A hint of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes: "I remember you." ”
At night, everyone was waiting anxiously, and everyone was guessing whether it was Wan Chang or Jin Guiren who won the championship in one fell swoop tonight, but who expected that the eunuch in the Jingshi room went to the unexpected palace with a will.
"Did you hear that? Whose brand did the emperor flip? Jin Guiren hurriedly grabbed Liangchen and asked.
Liangchen lowered his head a little embarrassed, and said with a bitter face: "The emperor has turned over, and Liu promised the brand." ”
"What?" Jin Guiren slapped the table and stood up, "Just a promise, and dare to get ahead of this little master?!" ”
Before entering the palace, she always thought that she was the most outstanding among this group of newcomers, with a prominent family background and good looks, and she was given a title before entering the palace, or a nobleman, so how could she not have a sense of superiority? But today's audience in the palace, everyone's eyes were focused on Fu Ruyin. Jin Guiren gritted her teeth, she admitted that Wan Chang is indeed very beautiful, if it were her, it would be fine, but it was a lowly promise.
Jin Guiren recalled that she was late this morning, and she couldn't suppress her cold temperament even if she wore red makeup, even if she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she had to say that Liu promised to be indeed a beauty, the kind of beauty that is difficult to see in the world.
She sat on a stool dejectedly, looking out the window a little dazed.
Everything she is proud of seems to be worth mentioning in this palace at all, can she really do the things that grandpa expects?
An Lingrong watched Liu Baimei get into the Fengluan Chunen car and leave Weiyang Palace, and took a sip of the osmanthus wine in her hand: "Cuiyin, what do you say, what kind of expression will the queen have now?" ”
"It's probably going to be incredible." Cuiyin chuckled and said, "She thought that Niangniang would be the same as the previous Dunsu concubine, and she wouldn't be favored by others." ”
An Lingrong smiled, looked at the silver moon in the night, and drank the wine in the cup. If she is the same as Nian Shilan, she loves the emperor so much that she wants to monopolize him, maybe she will not be generous to let Liu Baimei go to bed today, but unfortunately, she is not Nian Shilan, and she does not love the emperor so much, the queen's abacus will be in vain after all.
The emperor seems to love Liu Baimei very much, and spoiled her for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, the queen couldn't sit still.
"Your Majesty, the sisters in the palace are looking forward to the emperor, no matter how much the emperor loves Liu and promises, it should be enough, there are still two nobles." The queen earnestly advised, "If the emperor really likes Liu to agree, why don't you mention her position?" It's also good to be there. ”
The emperor glanced at the green head card that was handed to him, and took a sip of tea quietly: "Then according to what the queen said, Jin Fengliu promised to be always there, give the title, Shun." ”
The queen was slightly stunned, she proposed that Jin Fengliu promised to be always there, and she wanted to use this to push out the Jin nobles and Wan Changzai, but she didn't expect the emperor to give the title directly, isn't this completely compared to the Rong Concubine of the year? The queen took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: "It seems that the emperor is very satisfied with Shun Changzai." ”
"She's very unexpected." The emperor recalled the charming emotions of the previous two nights, and still felt that he knew the taste of eating marrow, and he didn't know where she learned it, he never knew that the things of men and women could be so enjoyable, not to mention, Liu promised to look at Qing Qing and cold, and he would be so bold in bed, just like dragging the fairy from the clouds into the mortal dust with his own hands, this feeling of conquest made the emperor physically and mentally satisfied.
Of course, these queens had no way of knowing, and when she saw that the emperor began to scatter his thoughts again, she hurriedly said: "Who is the emperor going to call to sleep tonight?" She motioned to the eunuch in the worship room to present the green card.
"Noble Jin." The emperor flipped it over casually and put the teacup aside, "Hu Guiren is still young, let her live in the palace with peace of mind, you take care of it a little on weekdays, don't let her be wronged." ”
The queen knows the relationship between the emperor and Princess Rongxian, even if Hu Guiren and Princess Rongxian are not related by blood, the emperor also regards her as his own family, and there may not be much grace in the future, but the honor will definitely be given to her. Thinking of this, the queen nodded: "Yes, the concubine understands." ”
"I thought it would be Wan Chang's turn today, but I didn't expect that it would be the noble Jin who went to bed first." Shen Meizhuang was very surprised when he knew that the emperor had turned over the brand of the Jin nobles, "It seems that the emperor values the Tong family very much." ”
"yes, I don't know what kind of mood that Wanchang is in now." An Lingrong was also quite surprised, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Liu Baimei, turned his eyes and smiled at her, "I've worked hard for you in the past three days, there is something this palace wants to ask you first." ”
Liu Baimei's face did not have the arrogance of being favored, she was still cold, she nodded at An Lingrong: "Niangniang, but it doesn't hurt to ask." ”
"Son, do you want to have a baby?" An Lingrong asked very bluntly.
Liu Baimei was slightly stunned, and then shook her head: "If you have a child, you will have to care, and the concubine will come cleanly, and she will leave quietly in the future, so it's better not to ask for it." ”
An Lingrong didn't persuade her much, just nodded: "Okay, this palace knows." ”
"Regarding Qin'er, when do you want to get rid of it?" Liu Baimei said something else.
An Lingrong raised his eyebrows: "When the palace wants, can you get rid of it when you want?" ”
Liu Baimei nodded, and said two words with a calm expression.
An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang's expressions immediately changed.
Shen Meizhuang immediately said: "This can't be nonsense, if there is a mistake, even you will have to catch it yourself." ”
"Concubines can guarantee that nothing goes wrong." Liu Baimei said seriously.
"How do you guarantee it?" An Lingrong's face was slightly cold, "Even the palace doesn't dare to open your mouth to say that you have a complete grasp of something, how can you, a newcomer who has just entered the palace, dare to say that there is no mistake at all?" What's more, this matter is a felony in all dynasties, if there is a mistake, but you can bear the consequences by yourself? ”
Liu Baimei pursed the corners of her mouth tightly and didn't say a word.
"If you want to use this matter to show your loyalty, you don't have to, since this palace recognizes you, it won't suspect you." An Lingrong softened his tone and said gently, "Don't mention it again in the future." ”
"Yes." Liu Baimei choked in her throat and nodded.
Autumn is getting stronger, and Wan Chang finally won the holy favor in everyone's expectations, and slept for seven consecutive days, which has never happened. However, when everyone was envious or jealous, Wan Chang was full of sorrow and loss.
"What's wrong with the little master?" Wu Xi handed her a cup of freshly brewed tea, "This is the emperor's newly rewarded snow top with emeralds, and the slave maid specially brewed it for the little master to taste." ”
Wan Chang took a sip of tea slowly, and didn't say whether it was good or bad, but just looked ahead in a daze: "Wu Xi, am I really favored by the emperor?" She put down the teacup, "Seven days of bedding, except for the first day, the other six days, the emperor only let me sit quietly under the lamp and read, he looked at me like that, like, looking at others through me." ”
Wu Qian's eyes flashed slightly: "The emperor loves Empress Chunyuan, didn't the little lord know about this early on?" ”
"Really?" Wan Chang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "The prince never said that Queen Chunyuan likes to read, and what I practiced outside the palace was mostly piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, and I had never dabbled in poetry and songs. Last night, the emperor talked to me about the fact that if you enter, you will not be able to escape from the world, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish, and I don't know how to reply, so the emperor sighed and said, after all, it is not her. Wu Xi, this 'she', I always feel that she is not Queen Chunyuan. ”
Wu Xi also didn't know the reason, so she could only persuade: "The little lord is relieved, now the most favored person in the palace is you, Jin Guiren and Shun Chang are all behind, and the only one who can compare with you is Concubine Rong, which is already an excellent start." At the end, she lowered her voice and said, "What's more, the purpose of the little lord entering the palace is not to get the emperor's sincerity, as long as the emperor favors you, it doesn't hurt to be anyone's stand-in." ”
Wan Chang looked up at the window, in the yard, the begonia flowers withered and the leaves fell, leaving only the silence of the branches, she blinked blankly, and the bottom of her eyes slowly condensed into an indifferent color: "Yes, whose stand-in is not a stand-in......"
In October, when the snow in the south was heavy, the emperor sent Prince Yi to the most severely affected prefectures and provinces, and promoted An Bihuai to serve as a pacification envoy, and Prince Yi was responsible for disaster relief together.
"How many people in the palace are waiting to have a relationship with you, you are good, the palace door is locked, the green head card is withdrawn, only to push away their physical discomfort and turn them away, these two days, they are chewing the root of your tongue behind your back, saying that you are rampant, be careful that after this period of time you will fall into the clouds." Shen Meizhuang took Haoyue today, and was holding her in his arms to coax her to sleep, when he raised his eyes and saw An Lingrong with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but say angrily, "You are quiet, I am tired, I deal with people who want to see you every day, especially Kang promised, you don't know, how good her mouth is, as soon as she opens her mouth, it is called a skyscraper." ”
An Lingrong couldn't help but laugh eatingly: "So my sister came to me today to hide from Qingjing." ”
"Not exactly." Shen Meizhuang saw that Haoyue was sleeping soundly, so he asked Caiyue to take her to Xiuchun Pavilion, take a nap with An Kang, and then said to An Lingrong, "This snow disaster is widely implicated, and the Queen Mother is afraid that it will affect the harvest of the next year, so she wants the harem to host a blessing ceremony, but who knows that the queen proposes to go to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings in the spring next year." ”
