Chapter 44: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks
"The emperor went to Yunluo Palace again?" the queen pretended to ask casually: "Min Guiren is a blessing." ”
"Queen Mother, this noble man doesn't seem to have asked for peace yet. The Queen's maid Huan'er spoke cautiously.
"It's okay if you don't come to see the palace," the queen didn't care: "I heard that there is a bit of resemblance between my eyebrows and the late Concubine Shude, but you have seen it?"
"Returning to Niangniang's words......" Huan'er seemed to hesitate: "This Min noble person is not just a little like Shude Guifei, but almost exactly the same." ”
"What?" the queen was a little surprised: "exactly the same?"
"Back to the queen mother," Huan'er quickly replied, "That's true...... The slave and maid were also shocked when they saw it. ”
"Okay, Hongu knows. ”
In the Yunluo Palace, Pan Zhijin looked at the lotus pond outside alone - the emperor learned that the brocade likes lotus flowers somewhere, and asked someone to specially repair the Yunluo Palace next to the lotus pond in the palace and give the brocade to live alone.
"Since ancient times, it has been a concubine or above that you can enjoy a palace by yourself, how did you change your appearance when you get to your sister?" Concubine Wan came to see the brocade, but the brocade didn't care.
"A concubine can't be more noble than Concubine Wan's mother," Brocade replied expressionlessly: "Niangniang naturally doesn't have to worry about what the concubine will do." ”
"Why is my sister so cold?" Concubine Wan looked at the brocade and ignored it, and was a little embarrassed: "The queen treats people generously, and there are no disputes in the palace, why don't you get together with everyone?"
"Concubine Wan, no need," Brocade sneered: "Concubine, I don't want to do this." ”
The emperor still often comes to the Yunluo Palace, and the brocade simply no longer refuses, thinking about how to kill the man lying next to him while serving. Sometimes she also thinks: Since the emperor loves her sister so much, why did he marry her far away?
"Maybe it's because he's a king," one day, Brocade saw Zeng Guiren, who had been neglected for a long time, and Zeng Guiren smiled: "First king, then husband; It's nothing, when you enter the palace, it's destined to be so. ”
"Sister Zeng has always liked the emperor?" For the first time, Brocade felt that a person could still maintain elegance when he was lonely, and he immediately became respectful.
"No," Zeng Guiren smiled, she was no longer worried about her situation: the Zeng clan was exiled, and her father died on the way due to old age and illness...... What's the point of her living?
"That sister hates the emperor?"
"I don't know who to hate now," Zeng Guiren smiled: "Sister, you may not believe it: since I was sent to the palace by my brother, I have hated him all the time...... I have someone I love, but I can't do anything about it. He died, and I didn't know who to hate, so I had to hate the emperor...... Without hatred, I really can't live in this palace. ”
"Then in that case......" After listening to Zeng Guiren's words, Brocade paused: "Sister Zeng is willing to do my sister a favor?"
In recent days, the DPRK and China have not been peaceful, and the ministers have been fighting over the fact that Pan Zhijin was named a Min noble; And the Yutai country next door got into a cold because of a dispute between several merchants...... The emperor had a headache and called Meng Xiu, but Meng Xiu was just vague and unwilling to talk more.
The emperor is actually very guilty about Meng Xiu: he has no clue about the tragic death of Meng Xiu's nephew Meng Lang before, but Meng Xiu can block the knife for himself at the last birthday banquet...... Although the king let the minister die, the minister had to die; But Meng Xiu at that time really wanted to save him from the bottom of his heart.
There are many people who want the emperor to die, but there are not many people who really want him to live.
Meng Xiu just felt that Emperor Renrui was a good emperor, he had many shortcomings, but no one was more suitable to be an emperor than him.
After Meng Xiu left, Emperor Renrui sat alone for a long time, until the palace maid brought a plate of pear blossom cake.
"This is made by that concubine, the style is novel and chic, and the taste is also good," Emperor Renrui praised after eating: "I have a heart!"
"Back to the emperor," Pang Gonggong hurriedly replied: "It was made by Zeng Gui for the emperor, and Niangniang said that she heard that the emperor had a cough recently, so she made some pear cake for the emperor." ”
"Zeng Guiren...... I have a heart," Emperor Renrui sighed, and only spoke for a long time: "I have always liked her to be well-behaved and intelligent, although I am fortunate that she is related to Zeng Yiren, but I have indeed moved sincerely; Now that she has been demoted to a noble person and ridiculed by others, I am inevitably sad...... In this way, Pang Zihong!"
"The minions are here. ”
"I won't turn over the cards tonight, I will go to the palace of Zeng Guiren to see it in person. ”
"Huh. ”
