The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 286
"There will be a chance." Situ Rui said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there are a large number of young talents in Xiling, and the new governor of Yongzhou, He Qingwen, is also young and promising. He made great contributions to disaster relief in Yongzhou, and now Yongzhou is under his governance. , and the common people gradually recovered their vitality, and I was relieved a lot."

"Xiling is full of talented people. Susu wants to see it if she has the opportunity." Qin Wange smiled innocently.

Situ Rui didn't seem to think much about it, and said: "Then He Qingwen is in Yongzhou, and there is no way to see him in a short time. However, I went to Caiwei Palace yesterday, and Concubine Chen said that the green calyx in Yimei Garden was blooming just right, thinking about it I want to hold a banquet in the Yimei Garden, and I invite all the concubines to enjoy the flowers. It happened that Li Mingzhen came back from Yuezhou. He and his brother and sister Rufei have not seen each other for a long time. I am also thinking about setting up a banquet in the palace for the sake of He cleans up the dust. If you are really curious about Li Ming, I will hold a banquet in the palace."

"It's indeed the most appropriate to host a banquet in the Plum Garden, but now that Su Su is busy with the ladies in Chuxiu Palace, who does the Emperor plan to let host the banquet?" Qin Wange said.

"I don't want you to take this matter on yourself, it's too tiring. After thinking about it, the most suitable person to host this banquet is Rufei and Chen Guifei. Rufei is Li Mingzhen's younger sister, and Yi It was Chen Guipin who proposed the banquet in the plum garden, who do you think is more suitable?" Situ Rui said.

Naturally, whoever proposes it will let whoever hosts it, which is interesting.

"Concubine Chen was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and her mind is exquisite and unique. If Concubine Chen is to host, this banquet will definitely be more novel than previous years. Susu feels that it is better to let Concubine Chen host it."

Situ Rui pondered for a moment, and felt that Qin Wange's words made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

Qin Wange lowered her eyes, hiding a glimmer of light in her eyes.

……

Situ Rui didn't stay in Yuejun Palace for long, sat for a while and then left.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Qin Wange was about to close the door to take a rest, but heard the sound of clothes flapping, and when he turned around, he saw Situ Yan landed in front of the window again, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Situ Yan, how childish are you?
Inside the imperial study.

After the Six Ministries of the Central Committee reported all the events of this year, Situ Rui said: "At the end of the year, the most important things in the Central Committee are the assessment of the achievements of local officials by the Ministry of Officials, and the end-of-year ceremony in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Rule the country with rites, and there must be no mistakes in the end-of-year ceremony.”

Liu Songzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, quickly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the Rites Department has almost made arrangements for the ceremony at the end of the year. However, there are still two places for the emperor to decide."

"Which two points?" Situ Rui asked.

"The first point is at the time of the year-end sacrifice. In addition to the emperor and queen, there should be a concubine. It stands to reason that among the six palaces, apart from the queen, the status of the imperial concubine is the most valuable. The coming imperial concubine does not have an imperial heir, but Concubine Yun has an imperial heir, so it is up to the emperor to decide who will accompany the emperor at that time."

Situ Rui didn't even think about it, and said directly: "The noble concubine has a high status and is deeply in my heart, so she is naturally the noble concubine. Concubine Yun is pregnant with a dragon heir, so it is not appropriate to work hard."

"Then there is one more thing, that is... the empress." Liu Songzhi looked at Situ Rui's face carefully and said.

Fortunately, Situ Rui's face was not as severe as before.Seeing Liu Songzhi go on to say: "The year-end ceremony is for the emperor and empress to pray to heaven together, praying for Xiling to have a good year. The empress is the mother of a country, if she is absent..."

Situ Rui didn't lose his temper, but frowned imperceptibly, and said, "Can't the queen's position be replaced by the imperial concubine?"

"This is naturally possible." Liu Songzhi said, paused, and then said: "But the Queen's mother is still in the world, and if it is another concubine, it may hurt the royal family's face."

The prime minister on the left is not in court, and the one standing in the front is naturally Li You, the prime minister on the right.Li You saw that Situ Rui's face was a little loose, so he struck while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, although the miscarriage of the imperial concubine was the empress's fault, the empress's mistake was unintentional. I hope the emperor thought of the empress's companionship for many years. For the sake of losing my beloved son and the fact that the little princess is too young to live without mother’s teaching, let’s forgive the empress this time.”

Situ Rui said expressionlessly, "Let's put this matter aside. The funeral ceremony of the Ministry of Rites will be arranged as usual."

Li You and Liu Songzhi looked at each other, and a gleam of relief flashed in their eyes.

Although Situ Rui didn't agree immediately, his heart was already shaken.It will be a matter of time before the Queen returns.

After the ministers left, Situ Rui picked up the memorial to make corrections, which happened to be approved by He Qingwen. The writing was smooth, clear, and well-founded. There are quite a few, and I think it will be completed a few months earlier than expected. From now on, Yongzhou will no longer be a worry in my heart."

Li Deshou laughed along with him, but didn't speak.

And at this time, a man in black who covered his true face with half a mask suddenly appeared from the dark place, who was the leader of Huangsha.

No one knows where he came out, like a ghost.

Fortunately, Li Deshou had long been used to the elusive presence of Huangsha's people, so he didn't scream out.

"Mo Huang, you came back in person? But what clues did you find about the Xingxiu Pavilion?" Situ Rui asked.

"There are a lot of court officials involved in Xingxiu Pavilion, and my subordinates have found out some clues, but it takes time to confirm." Mo Huang said coldly, his whole voice was like a ghost, without a trace of warmth.

"Hmph, Xingxiu Pavilion has reappeared in the Jianghu, and colluded with the officials of the DPRK and China. Could it be that they want to follow the example of the previous dynasties and raise troops to rebel? Let me investigate carefully, and none of these gangsters and thieves will be let go!" Situ Rui snorted coldly. He said that as long as he thinks that someone is plotting to take over his country, he will feel restless and hate it.

"The reappearance of Xingxiu Pavilion not only endangered the imperial court, but also alarmed the Cangyun faction. Cangyun has already dispatched manpower to track down Xingxiu Pavilion with all its strength." Mo Huang said without a trace of emotion.

When Situ Rui heard the word "Cangyun", his expression changed immediately, and the memorial in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Cangyun faction... Qin Wange...

The memories of the past seemed to resurface before his eyes again.

The Cangyun sect lives in seclusion, and has cultivated countless masters and talents. Most of the disciples are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, mechanism skills, medical skills and martial arts, and talented people gather among them.

He also thought that if he could get their help, he would gain another boost in his ascension to the throne.

But Cang Yun sticks to the ancestral precept of not being involved in political disputes, and he is unwilling to help Qin Wange when he is expelled from the school.

It's also a good thing that the Cangyun sect severed their relationship with Qin Wange long ago, otherwise, it would be useless even if he killed the Qin family, because if the Cangyun sect knew what he had done to Qin Wange, they would definitely spare no expense Come for revenge.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Seeing Situ Rui's frightening expression, Li Deshou couldn't help but whispered.

After calling several times, Situ Rui came back to his senses. He ordered Mo Huang who was kneeling on the ground: "While keeping an eye on Xingxiu Pavilion, you should also keep an eye on Cang Yun. If Cang Yun dares to make any changes, you will be killed without mercy." !"

Situ Rui wished to destroy everything related to Qin Wange.He wished that Qin Wange had never existed in the world...

Hearing this, Mo Huang frowned: Cang Yun sect members, can they be killed if they say so?

……

The banquet in Yimeiyuan is held at night.

In the evening, Adai dressed up for Qin Wange. She looked at the face reflected in the mirror and was full of praise.

She also said before, "Rufei and Concubine Chen are proud now, the empress can't be robbed of the limelight by them, she has to dress up to be able to overwhelm the crowd."

Even Yingxue laughed: "Even if the empress is not dressed up, she is still the best in the six palaces."

In the end, Qin Wange only asked Yingxue to help her comb her hair, and she was too lazy to dress up grandly, and felt it was unnecessary.

Qin Wange wore a vermilion dress, bright and charming, her hair curled up into a flying fairy temple, on the left side was a long fringe, and on the right was the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin that symbolized her status.Dressing up without bothering, is already dazzling, no one can match.

It was cold outside and they didn't go out until dusk.

At dusk, when it was snowing, Qin Wange was afraid of the cold and wore a fox fur made of white fox fur.

It is said that this white fox grows in the extremely cold place in the extreme north. The fur made of white fox fur is better than ordinary cloaks in keeping out the cold. I don't feel cumbersome.

This fox fur, only Qin Wange has such a piece in the palace, which shows Situ Rui's love for Qin Wange.However, she was ungrateful.

When Qin Wange arrived at Yimei Garden, most of the concubines had already arrived, but there was no sign of Liu Ruxin.

Now her symptoms of morning sickness are obvious, so she presumes that she is not feeling well.Firstly, Liu Ruxin had a cold personality and didn't like such occasions; secondly, it was snowing and freezing, and she was pregnant with a dragon heir, so Situ Rui didn't want her to go out and suffer, for fear that her own child would also be affected by the cold.

Because the queen was locked up in the Li Palace for self-reflection, Qin Wange was the highest ranking person in the harem. When everyone saw Qin Wange being helped in by Adai, they stood up and saluted.

Today's dinner was really unique, it changed from the extravagant style in the palace before, it was elegant and indifferent.

I saw that the lights at the palace dinner were not the red candles mixed with spices that were commonly used in the past, but more delicate glazed lamps. There was one in every corner, the light was soft and as bright as day.

There are vases placed on each red sandalwood table, and there are several red plums inserted in the vases, with spots of white snow on them, presumably they were just picked.

There is no incense in the inner hall, and the cold and dark fragrance of red plums floats in the air. Even if people stay inside for a long time, they will not be dizzy and dizzy from the incense, and feel a little more relaxed and happy.

The layout here is elegant, but the concubines are all dressed up in beautiful clothes, which feels incompatible with this place.
