Chapter 19: Smell her handkerchief
Her Majesty is with her, but her heart is with the Queen.
Xiao Hongyun was silent for a while, and said: "The queen mother is a rare good person who is not intrigued and charitable, and no one in this harem knows her good name." ”
Chu Yi muttered: "The way she cried was really ......" intoxicating.
Xiao Hongyun bit her lip, her eyes red.
She said, "Isn't the dance of the concubine good enough?" ”
It's not that the dance is not good enough, it's just that Chu Yi has no intention of watching the dance.
Chu Yi got up and said, "Go back to the Heart Palace." ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xiao Hongyun hurriedly chased after her, "Won't Your Majesty stay tonight to accompany your concubine?" ”
Chu Yi turned his head and said: "I remember that there are still excerpts that have not been approved, and the concubine is resting, and I will come back another day." ”
Xiao Hongyun held on to the door and wept.
When Chu Yi saw her crying, he thought of the queen again.
Xiao Hongyun struggled and said: "But Your Majesty, the excerpts are always unfinished, and the concubines want to serve you." ”
Chu Yi shook his head, it's so different, it's so different, Xiao Hongyun's tears are far less pitiful than when Meng Tang cried.
That feeling of brokenness is only shared by the queen.
*
The next day.
The news that the queen was confined to Kunning Palace spread throughout the harem.
The harem concubines didn't know why, but they only said where the queen provoked His Majesty, or that His Majesty was tired of the queen, after all, during this time, His Majesty only turned over the queen's brand, and even last night, he only stayed at Concubine Xiao's for a while and left, and did not stay overnight.
This word spread to Cining Palace.
In the Buddha Hall of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother knelt in front of the Buddha statue, sneered, and said: "The mourning family still thinks how much the emperor likes her, but it has only been two days, and it has fallen to the same level as the mourning family." ”
Mama Liu took a fan, gently fanned her with the wind, and said, "Isn't it?" Who is the Emperor? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, how can they be alone in favor. ”
The Queen Mother said: "He is a mean and unkind character, no one cares about it, and his sincerity is in the late Qi family, which we living people deserve." ”
Mama Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, since the emperor has become disgusted with the queen, it won't be long before she thinks about it, and it's time to dissipate her anger with you and let you out." ”
The Queen Mother sneered: "When I regain my freedom, I will definitely make the Meng family look good, although I lose a chess game, but it is not yet known who will kill the deer." ”
"That's what the Queen Mother said."
The weather is getting hotter, and the birds and finches are also increasing, hiding under the palace gate to hide and be lazy.
The emperor went to Xiao Hongyun for several days, and for a while, Xiao Hongyun became a celebrity in the harem again, and he was envious of the concubines in the harem.
When it was time to receive the monthly share, Fang Ning took the two little maids to the Internal Affairs Office.
Li Quanfu, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, was counting the Nanjing Yunjin given to Xiao Hongyun.
"Be careful, these are Concubine Xiao's, there are a total of twenty Yunjin just sent, and they all have to be given to Concubine Xiao."
"Chief, what about the Queen?"
Li Quanfu frowned and said: "The queen has been grounded for three months, and Your Majesty has not even set foot in the gate of Kunning Palace these days, besides, we have nothing less for the queen's share, but this new material is light and comfortable, and the quantity is limited, so it can only afford to supply Yuhua Palace." ”
Li Quanfu is different from Li Changfu, he is not a grateful.
As soon as Fang Ning came in, she heard this, her face changed, and she said, "Okay, the queen takes a lot of care of you on weekdays, and now that she is grounded, you treat her like this!" ”
Li Quanfu's face changed, but the words had already been spoken, and besides, the one in the Yuhua Palace who had recently received the Holy Favor was revealed, and his thoughts about the Yuhua Palace were clearly revealed.
Li Quanfu said: "What Aunt Fang Ning said, what our family said is the truth, and the quantity is limited, so it is naturally important to give it." ”
"You mean, the queen doesn't matter? You're eating inside and out! Have you forgotten how good the queen was to you in the past? Now it's just a grounding to let you treat it like this! ”
"Oh, my aunt, we should give the queen nothing less."
"What about this Zhizhou Yunjin? In previous years, it was all for the queen! ”
"Isn't this a different time?"
Fang Ning couldn't stand it, she immediately grabbed Li Quanfu's ear and slapped him in the face: "Okay, you Li Quanfu!" I didn't expect you to be a eater! The queen used to treat you like that, and now you are reluctant to give you even a few pieces of cloth! ”
"Your grandfather Li Changfu and Li Chitose have to salute respectfully in front of our mother, what are you?"
Li Quanfu was beaten, and he was immediately angry, he said: "It's really true that your Kunning Palace is still the Kunning Palace in the past, let's be honest, my grandfather has already passed the word, saying that it won't be long before Concubine Xiao will be promoted to Concubine Xiao, and when your queen of the middle palace will be able to lift the ban, it's really hard to say." ”
"What?!" Fang Ning's eyes widened.
Meng Tang has been in the palace for so many years, even if the emperor favors others, he has not been promoted to a concubine like Xiao Hongyun all of a sudden!
"Hehe, if you want me to say, if you really want your mother to be good, you should hurry up and make a plan to restore your mother's favor, otherwise how long can this queen of the middle palace be ......"
……
By evening, Fang Ning had not returned.
Meng Tang was a little worried.
She said, "What, is there any news of Fang Ning?" ”
Linlang knelt on the ground and said, "Niangniang, there is no news, they refuse to let us out, what can we do?" ”
Meng Tang's eyes sank.
This familiar plot, no one cares when she is not favored, and the Internal Affairs Office is contemptuous, and she has not been unaffected before.
I've been fishing Chu Yi for three months, and it's time to slowly reel in the net.
She walked to the palace gate, knocked on the door, and said, "Several forbidden army brothers, this palace has something important to ask. ”
"Niangniang laughed, Niangniang is the queen, how can we afford to be a big brother." Because the queen usually brings people very well, and she is also very good to them, the guards of the forbidden army, so the guards treat her respectfully.
Meng Tang stuffed a handkerchief embroidered with begonia flowers through the crack in the door below, and there was a jade pendant inside.
She said: "Can you help me hand this to Li Changfu and Father-in-law Li, he will understand the meaning of this palace after seeing it." ”
The guard hesitated and said, "Okay." ”
*
Li Changfu was guarding outside the imperial study, only to see a forbidden army guard running over in a panic, and said to him: "Gonggong Li, this is a token that the queen mother asked her subordinates to give you, saying that you will understand after you see it." ”
Li Changfu knotted, and after checking it, his face changed, and he said, "You go down." ”
Li Changfu took the jade pendant wrapped in a handkerchief, and hurriedly walked into the imperial study, he knelt on the ground, held the things with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, this is something sent by the queen mother, do you want to see it?" ”
Li Changfu understands better than anyone that the queen has not lost her sacred heart, and during this period of time, His Majesty deliberately coldly treated the queen and let the queen know the seriousness of the matter.
Chu Yi's hand holding the pen paused, and the ink fainted a dot on the fold.
"Bring it."
"Yes."
Chu Yi opened the handkerchief, and the jade pendant inside was the jade pendant that Chu Yi had carried with him, and when Chu Yi gave the jade to her, he said: "There is a difficulty to hold this jade to find me." ”
This is what Chu Yi carried with him when he was still a prince, it is not a good jade, but it is of great significance.
Chu Yi handed the handkerchief embroidered with begonias to his nose and smelled it carefully, it was a faint fragrance of jasmine tea, her taste. He closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment.
"I haven't seen you in March, that's it."
