Qingchuan History

Chapter 388
The day is longer and darker.The deep golden color of the early summer sunset turned from light to shadow, and Ji Wanling's eyes suddenly sharpened, and immediately sank:

"Mrs. Pei talked about him from left to right, but she actually used the rumors of Fengting Pass to remonstrate with the Central Palace." Her words were a little heavy, as dark as her eyes,

"This comparison is inappropriate. During the reign of Jing Hong, he openly talked about the rumors of Fengting Pass in the Wanlan Palace. Mrs. Pei knows what she is talking about."

Duan Xirun's heart skipped a beat, and finally couldn't help turning her head to look at Ruan Xueyin.The other side was expressionless, still looking straight at Ji Wanling.

Ji Wanling was also expressionless, and looked up, her eyes darker than the twilight.

Gu Xinglang sat on the north seat.Looking from Duan Xirun's position, it was right between the two of them.She glanced back and forth between the two quietly, and inevitably saw Gu Xinglang's expression.

He didn't look anywhere, his eyes were fixed on the table, as if he was scrutinizing the shadow of the tea in the cup.Zhengbei Xi is in the innermost place of the hall, the light is the darkest, it is not yet dark, there is no lamp, his face is almost hidden in the darkness.

I'm afraid I'm really annoyed.Duan Xirun became more and more nervous.Rumors about Fengting Pass are no different than others, and the unwritten rules of the entire Qi State, in a word, cannot be mentioned.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but slandering the monarch is another.On the Tianchang Festival in July of the first year of Jinghong, 15-year-old Gu Xinglang once announced to the world that the rumors were not true, and hoped that the subjects would stay awake and maintain goodwill.

It's a public response.After the response, at least in the territory of Qi State, the momentum gradually weakened.Of course there are some coercive measures.And the longer Gu Xinglang was in power, the more popular he was, and more people spontaneously protected him by not mentioning rumors.

The rule of "not mentioning" is not so much a top-down coercion as a bottom-up support.

"Sister Pei grew up in Pengxi Mountain," Duan Xirun said without a word for a long time, "I have a weak sense of national identity, and I don't think so. I take the rules and etiquette to heart." While thinking about it, she was nervous and incoherent,

"This slip of the tongue must have been unintentional. Please forgive me this time, Your Majesty."

"Sister Pei is the person next to Junshang's pillow." Shangguan's concubine's voice started from where Duan Xirun's ending sound fell, "If you spoil the sky, you will be blamed. Run'er, you can relax. You have your own sage."

This is really heartbreaking.Logically, all four of them should be Gu Xinglang's pillow.Du Yan Ruan Xueyin, and Ji Wanling's so-called best choice for the middle palace, are somewhat similar.

"Ms. Pei has already married into Qi Country," but Ji Wanling said again, calmly, the depth in her eyes gradually faded,

"You should abide by the rules of Qi State. As a concubine's favorite, you should lead by example. Don't disturb the audience with your personal remarks, and ignore the reputation of the emperor."

"Wan Ling is from Qi, and everything is for the king and for the family and the country. Mrs. Pei, if I offend you, please forgive me." Then she turned to Gu Xinglang and bowed profusely,
"The concubine just launched an attack on Mrs. Pei. If there is a mistake, it is up to the emperor to punish her."

Since there is no mistake, every sentence is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.Moreover, Ji Wanling's status is slightly higher than Ruan Xueyin's, so such reasoning and admonishment really cannot be called an attack.

Taking the initiative to make a mistake and letting Gu Xinglang deal with it, it is clearly suspected of satirizing favoritism.

Really great.Ruan Xueyin admired from the bottom of her heart.Very appropriate and tight fit.

Very disciplined.

"Madam Yu's persuasion is reasonable." She opened her mouth, walked slowly to the center of the hall, and bowed down, "The concubine just made a slip of the tongue and committed a big taboo, please punish me."

Di Yan had already arranged to deliver a set of refreshments, and she was standing beside Gu Xinglang at the moment.Seeing Ruan Xueyin knelt down, bowing heavily with her sleeves raised, her legs softened inexplicably.

He swallowed a mouthful, looked at Gu Xinglang quietly, and thought to himself, what should I do, if I go back to Zhexue Palace at night, my lord will not be able to kneel back?

"Madam Pei's words are wrong, which shows that she lacks understanding of the rules of the court and the way of imperial concubine." Gu Xinglang said slowly, "I will punish you by copying the "Rules for Women" ten times, and hand it over to Madam Yu for review within three days."

Quiet for half a moment.

"Your Majesty forgive me, and my concubine will be punished." Ruan Xueyin responded, straightened up, still kneeling.

"Get up."

"Your Majesty." Ji Wanling said, "It's not in compliance with the rules to hand it over to a concubine. Or—"

"Last year, I said that the middle palace has not been decided for a day, and you are in charge of the rear court affairs. Wan Ling, you are the daughter of Prime Minister Qi. You have been in the court since you were young, and you know the rules of the Qi Palace very well. You are a proper person. I leave it to you, I am most at ease."

Having said that, he swept across the faces of the crowd,

"Mrs. Yu is the head of the four wives. She has always managed the harem well. I think you all have no objections."

"Yes." Duan Xirun said.

"Naturally, I will wait for Sister Yu's orders," Shangguan said.

"Your Majesty—" Ji Wanling said again.

"Which day will the palace position be fixed?" Gu Xinglang looked at her gently, "If the concubines are punished again, the empress will take care of it. You still need to worry about it now."

"Yes."

Gu Xinglang nodded, seemed to feel sleepy, and moved his neck, "What time is it?"

"Back to Your Majesty," Di Yan hurriedly replied, "Your time will pass."

"It's so late. Pass the meal on."

"is the--"

Obviously wanted to ask if it was shared by the ladies.

"Come here today, I didn't say hello to Mr. Diyan in advance." Ji Wanling Yifu said, "It's a temporary arrangement, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, so I won't disturb the king's meal, and the concubine will leave."

"The courtiers and concubines also resigned." The Shangguan concubine was also blessed.

"The concubine also resigned." Duan Xirun followed.

Ruan Xueyin was also blessed, she didn't say anything, and went out with Duan Xirun.

She has a special fragrance today.Ruan Xueyin was behind, stepping on the place where Duan Xirun walked.

It's not the same as ever.She sniffs.

call people—

It is relaxing.

The more curious she was, the faster she walked, and the closer she got to the other party, she gradually felt dizzy.She was a little vigilant, but felt absurd at the same time, secretly thinking that it was just because she was hungry.

And suddenly shook.

It was dark in front of my eyes, and I couldn't stand still, and I had already reached the gate of the hall.

"lady!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yunxi went up half a step to support him.Everyone stopped and looked at each other.

"Sister what happened?"

But it wasn't Duan Xirun who asked.

It's Shangguan's concubine.

"It's okay." Ji Wanling said calmly, who was also nearby.

Duan Xirun had already come over, gently helped Ruan Xueyin's other arm, "Sister?"

The aroma was overwhelming, and most of his consciousness had receded. If he hadn't been supported by two people, one on the left and one on the right, he would have fallen down.

"what happened?"

Gu Xinglang's voice came from far away, like the words in a dream.

The picture in front of me turned from black to white, and the vast white was like a thick fog, no matter what, I couldn't find a gap.

She stretched out her hand to push through the thick fog, one layer after another, and finally found a thinner place.

Dial again, can't get out.She pulled up all her energy and energy, and struggled——

There is a picture.Ebony beams, colorful paintings on the top of the hall, and the incense of sycamore trees in the Wanlan Hall.

There is also the fragrance on Xirun's body.Remaining waves in the breath, still make people dizzy.

"My lady opened her eyes!"

It's Yunxi.She moved her gaze down slowly, and saw Yunxi's face first, Duan Xirun, Shangguan Concubine and Ji Wanling stood far and near.

She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to tell Xirun to stand far away, but her mind turned slowly, and she didn't react properly, so she didn't say it.

"what you want to say?"

It was Gu Xinglang.at the nearest.her left.And he leaned back on the seat just now.

"It's okay." She said softly, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well at night." She was still confused and spoke very slowly, "Just go back and have a rest."

"You almost fainted just now." Gu Xinglang said softly, and turned his eyes away, "I've got the Tianmai for a long time, how is it?"

Obviously not asking yourself.Ruan Xueyin followed his gaze and turned her head, and Dr. Cui was half-kneeling on her right.

"Reporting to Your Majesty," she frowned, "Madam is in good health, and there is nothing wrong with her pulse condition. It is really abnormal," she raised her eyes, watching Ruan Xueyin's complexion quietly,

"Madam, do you have any prescriptions for maintenance? Especially, for internal use."
