The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 302 Yu Wang Situ Xiao

But because Liu Ruxin was pregnant, her appetite was not good these days and her body was a little weak. Situ Rui valued the child in Liu Ruxin's womb very much, and let her have a good rest in the palace, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

And Li Xuanyin is still introspecting in Yulan Palace.Although Rufei's position has not been taken away, without the support of her mother's family, and Situ Rui's deliberate neglect, it is no different from being in the cold palace now.

The family banquet on the New Year's Eve was extremely lively, but Qin Wange felt very bored, playing with the cup in his hand, bored.

But he saw a person sitting at the front keeping the beat, as if he was intoxicated in the song and dance, this person was Situ Xiao, King Yu.

Situ Xiao spent half a year in a year saying he was sick at home and did not go to court, and another half a year lying drunk in the brothel. Everyone almost forgot about the existence of this person.Suddenly seeing Situ Xiao at this time, Qin Wange remembered that there was such a person.

Situ Rui's methods are vicious, and now Situ Yan is the only brother left of him who is still alive.As for the former emperor's brothers, because of the affairs of the Qin family back then, those who were still alive basically spent their lives on their own, and were not involved in government affairs.

The only prince who is still in power in the court is Prince Yu, who is the youngest brother of the previous emperor and the uncle of the current emperor.

Yu Wang Situ Xiao is only in his 40s now, with a long beard, and his demeanor is quite chic, like a Confucian scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Because of his romantic personality, he doesn't like government affairs and likes beauties, there are his confidante friends everywhere in the painting boats in the capital. It is because he is not involved in government affairs that Situ Rui keeps him in the capital.

Situ Xiao is proficient in music and loves singing and dancing. Although he is an official in the capital, he likes to make friends with beauties.It is normal to go to Jiangnan for a piece of music today, and to go outside the Great Wall for a dancer tomorrow.

Moreover, King Yu is very picky when it comes to singing and dancing. I remember that at the family banquet of the Lantern Festival the year before last, the dancers in the palace arranged a piece of "Phoenix Dance for Nine Heavens" according to the ancient score, but because the pipa for the soundtrack was replaced by a guzheng, Let Yu Wang be picky for a long time.

So after learning such a lesson, Xu Qiushui would pay extra attention when arranging dances for banquets when King Yu was in the capital.

"Your Majesty, when I returned to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that the King of Lingzhou was assassinated on the way back to Lingzhou. I wonder if the injury is better now?" The reason was that Situ Yan was mentioned at the banquet.

Everyone knew that King Lingzhou was Situ Rui's taboo, yet he brought it up so carelessly.

Qin Wange paused with the hand holding the wine glass, and glanced at Situ Xiao, who seemed to be asking the question casually.But Situ Rui's face just pulled down.

However, after all, today is New Year's Eve, and Situ Xiao is his uncle, so it's not good for him to lose his temper in front of these people and save his face.Therefore, the ugly face was ugly, but he didn't say anything.

But if it wasn't for Situ Xiao's reminder, he really almost forgot that there was such a person as Situ Yan.

"I once sent the imperial physicians to the palace of the Lingzhou prince to see them. The imperial physicians all said that the injury of the Lingzhou king has been repeated and has not improved. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If I send the imperial physicians to take a look, I will only have this brother left. gone."

If he still doesn't wake up at this time, he will send the imperial doctor to have a look again.

Since Situ Yan has been injured for such a long time and the weather is cold, it is normal for him not to survive such a winter...

Qin Wange did not miss the cold light flashing in Situ Rui's eyes.Being mentioned by King Yu, Situ Rui has already noticed Situ Yan, and Situ Yan will not be able to pretend to be sick for long.

Looking at Situ Xiao, Qin Wange's eyes flashed with suspicion. Did Situ Xiao really just mention Situ Yan unintentionally?
Regarding Situ Xiao, Qin Wange had never seen through him, whether in his previous life or in this life.

At that time, Situ Rui and Situ Yan fought earth-shatteringly for the position of crown prince. Situ Xiao, as the emperor's uncle, had no intention of governing the country, but he was the late emperor's younger brother after all, and his right to speak among the royal family should not be underestimated. Whoever can get his support has a little more chance of winning.

But Situ Xiao did not intervene in any party. He went to Dunhuang when the battle for the throne was in full swing. It is said that it was for the "Flying Dance" on the Dunhuang murals. Situ Rui was named the prince and married her.

It was precisely because Situ Xiao stayed out of the battle for the succession that Situ Rui had never doubted Situ Xiao despite his suspicions all these years.Compared with Situ Rui's other uncles, who either had their homes ransacked inexplicably, died of serious illness, or were far away from the capital, Situ Xiao was able to survive and live such a healthy life, which is really the greatest inconceivable.

It is precisely such an elegant person who has always kept himself safe and kept away from political disputes, why did he mention Situ Yan inexplicably at the New Year's Eve dinner?
Being able to live well until today under the nose of Situ Rui, this Situ Xiao is far from being as simple as he appears on the surface.

After the dinner, Xu Qiushui helped the half-drunk Situ Rui to Qifeng Palace.

According to Xiling's rules, the emperor had to stay in the queen's palace, and now the relationship between Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui had eased, so he had no reason to stay in other concubines' palaces.

These days, Situ Rui has been spending the night in Yuejun Palace, but today he went to Xu Qiushui's palace, so Qin Wange can relax.

After returning to Yuejun Palace, Qin Wange sent Adai and Yingxue to play.Received the master's pardon, Adai was the first to rush out, and the girls had a great time playing.

After all, they are also children at heart, and if they are forced to serve her when they are young, they will be disgusted.

Although Qin Wange didn't drink much wine at the banquet, she still had a headache from the smell of the incense. After Adai and the others went out, she changed into a fox fur and was going to go out to enjoy the air.

Before she was about to go out, she heard a gust of wind behind her ears.

Qin Wange's first reaction was to avoid it. When he came back to his senses, he smelled a familiar smell. When he turned around, he saw Situ Yan standing there in black clothes. With a regretful face, she sighed, "You're too agile. It's not easy for me to steal a piece of incense."

Qin Wange was immediately amused by Situ Yan's aggrieved tone and expression, "Why don't you tell me in advance when the prince comes next time, and I will stand still and wait for the prince to steal the fragrance?"

Knowing that Qin Wange was deliberately teasing him, Situ Yan was not angry and asked, "Are you going out?"

"The smell of alcohol at the banquet made me uncomfortable. I want to go out for a walk to let the smell out." Qin Wange didn't hide anything, "You are..."

Qin Wange saw Situ Yan holding the wine jar in his hand, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

But Situ Yan smiled lazily and said, "It happens that this king can't sleep tonight, so let's go drink together."

As Situ Yan said, he hugged Qin Wange by the waist and headed towards Qiongyue Palace.

I remember that when I went to Qiongyue Palace last time, it was the season of Qionghua blooming, and a little Qionghua bloomed like snow. Now when I come again, the Qionghua has withered.There are several plum blossoms planted in Qiongyue Palace, which seem to be old, and now it is the season of blooming, and the plum blossoms are very beautiful.

The two sat down on the tallest plum blossom tree in Qiongyue Palace.

After returning to the palace, Qin Wange changed out of the cumbersome palace attire. She was wearing a long red dress of ordinary style, except for a few peonies embroidered on the chest.The outside is covered with a white fox fur, which more and more brings out the beautiful face like jade.

Qin Wange took the wine jar from Situ Yan's hand and took a sip. The wine smelled clear and complemented the surroundings.Situ Yan is so good at brewing wine, I don't know who he learned from.

From the branch of this plum blossom tree, you can see the scene outside Qiongyue Palace. The palace lanterns are lit up, which is in stark contrast to the desertedness here.

Situ Yan seemed to be thinking of something fun, and suddenly smiled and said: "I remember when I was a child, my concubine was still there, and my favorite thing was to climb up this tree and look outside the palace, and whenever I didn't see my mother, I would look for me everywhere." .I always like to hide in the tree. I see my concubine looking for me anxiously. When she is about to get angry, I jump down from the tree to scare her. At that time, I saw the surprise in the concubine's eyes. , is the happiest thing in my life.”

Seeing Situ Yan's dancing and dancing, his eyes were full of nostalgia for the old days and his deceased mother, Qin Wange was also infected by him, and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder people say that three years old must be eighty. So naughty."

"Yeah, but I never thought that these years have passed. After my mother and concubine left, I never played this game again." Situ Yan said with a sigh. His biological mother left at a young age, and it was hard for him.

However, Situ Yan's mood seemed a bit wrong tonight, Qin Wange asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today?"

Situ Yan replied nonchalantly: "Today is the death day of my mother and concubine."

Hearing what he said, Qin Wange didn't know how to comfort him. After a long time, he said dryly: "The deceased is gone, my lord's condolences."

Situ Yan almost burst out laughing, and said, "What do you call comforting? I wasn't too sad at first, but now I'm fine. It's even more uncomfortable when you say that."

Qin Wange's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Situ Yan took a sip of wine and said, "You don't need to look at me with sympathy, anyway, I'm much better than ordinary princes who have lost their concubines. The emperor loved my concubine, and she didn't treat me badly after she died. , he valued me more than his other children. After that, I was fostered in the Empress Dowager's Palace. The Empress Dowager was kind and treated me as her own. There was nothing wrong with me. But every year on the anniversary of the death of the concubine, I'm only going to feel sad, and think of it as missing my concubine mother."
