The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 196
On March [-]th of the fifth year of Jianjun, the imperial decree was issued in the palace: "The fact that the queen's grandfather, the chief assistant of the cabinet and others impeached the right minister for embezzlement and money-raising has been checked, and it is purely false. The queen's grandfather, the chief minister of the cabinet and others falsely accused the important officials of the court It is a heavy responsibility. However, the emperor is kind by nature, and he is extra merciful. From now on, he will order the queen's grandfather to live in Kunning Palace for the elderly, demote the chief minister of the cabinet to three levels in a row, and fine him three months of salary." The next day the emperor issued another order to seal the right minister For Wei Guogong, [-] households were sealed off for food, and he was especially merciful to pardon the prisoners of the imperial concubine's violent family, and he still lives in the Moon Palace.

"Empress Empress, Concubine De sent someone to invite you to her palace to taste tea and enjoy flowers!" Wan'er lifted the curtain and came in to reply, and Yu Ci put down the scroll in her hand. After a long while, Yu Ci got up on her own, Bi'er called the little girl to bring hot water, and waited for me to wash up. "Empress, what kind of hairpin do you want to use?" Wan'er asked, "Just take that ruby, rice bead and chime hairpin." Fairy bun." Wan'er brought me a palace gown with colorful flowers and satin, "Why did you take this dress out? Put it back quickly, the empress can't wear it." Bi'er said, her temperament was calm, Knowing that I don't want to publicize my actions, I also deeply agree in my heart. "It's a pity that such a good thing is not worn for nothing?" Wan'er turned to me aggrieved.I gave her a blank look, and I was too lazy to say anything, this girl has a good heart, but she is too naive.Seeing my expression, Wan'er dared not say any more.I asked Bi'er to fetch a hazy-colored double-breasted palace dress, with intricate and delicate embroidery patterns shining brightly.Underneath is a moon-white satin tube top and long skirt, which open and close lightly as she walks gracefully, as if standing on a white cloud. "Our empress is ten times better than others even if she doesn't dress up!" Little Liuzi looked at me straight, and I gave him a glare, "Little monkey boy, you can play tricks."

Little Liu sticks out his tongue, holds my hand and walks out. Liu Fu'an has already led a car and waits there. : "Get up!" The sound of boots creaked, and the eunuch who lifted his shoulders walked neatly, like a single person.

When I arrived at the gate of Dede Concubine Palace, the palace servants looked at me from a distance, and hurriedly greeted me, led me in, walked through several corridors, and turned to the back garden. It turned out that today's small banquet was held in a pavilion.The pavilion, which was originally empty on all sides, has been surrounded by gauze curtains at this time, before approaching, laughter can already be heard inside.As soon as you enter the pavilion, a gust of hot air and the fragrance of flowers come to your nostrils. There is a gold-inlaid enamel vase in the courtyard, which is filled with freshly folded peonies, peonies and other flowers. There are more than a dozen seats around it. Big red bat-pattern cushions and embroidered backrest guide pillows, each seat has a small table in the shape of begonias. The pavilion is surrounded by gauze curtains, so the cold air does not invade. Looking from the inside to the outside, it seems to be transparent. You can have a panoramic view of the beauty in the garden.I glanced at it, and all the high-ranking or favored concubines in the palace had arrived. "Sister, come and sit here." Concubine De greeted Yuci with a smile on her face when she saw her. I nodded and walked towards the seat next to her.The imperial concubine was knocking on candied pine nuts, talking to Han Yun who was next, but she didn't look at me.

After a while, everyone realized that I had arrived, and immediately got up to salute.

"Excuse me," the queen's face seemed to be a little clearer, but she was dressed in a red palace gown embroidered with colorful golden phoenix, and a golden phoenix with pearls in her head was hard to call her festive complexion. rosy.The queen smiled and said: "Yesterday, my father sent a few bottles of Taiping Houkui. After offering it to the queen mother and the emperor, there was still some left over, which was sent to Kunning Palace. I think today is a good day. In the garden The flowers are also blooming well, why not share them with all the sisters."

"Taiping Houkui? The concubine once heard that this tea only grows in the high mountains around Luzhou Houkeng. It is named Taiping Houkui because it is produced in Taiping County. "Han Yun said, the queen turned to Han Yun and said with a smile: "It's no wonder the queen mother and the emperor admire Xi Baolin very much. I didn't expect you, my sister, to be so knowledgeable and memorized." Stand up and answer respectfully. "Hmph, I'm afraid only the Xue family can get such a rare and famous tea!" The imperial concubine spoke poorly, and all the concubines looked sideways, but the queen looked at me as if I hadn't heard of it, nodded and said: " Younger sister's complexion is really good today, like the peony flowers in this yard, they are white, red and fragrant." Concubine De said: "Of course Concubine Hui's complexion is good, she is not as old as us." I laughed and said: " The elder sisters are all in their prime, just like this peony blooming just right. How can the flowers and plants next to it be just in case?" The queen then laughed and said: "I am old, and I will compare this palace What kind of flowers." The imperial concubine gave me a slanted glance, and then smiled coquettishly: "My sister's mouth is just flattering, I can't complain that the emperor looks at my sister differently." The corners of my mouth moved slightly, and I finally held back, but remained silent.While speaking, a maidservant had already stepped forward to set up the tea set and began to cook tea carefully.Concubine De smiled and said to the Queen: "Look at Sister Shen, because the Emperor has always loved her, she even said such jealous words in front of you." He has always been open-mouthed, and he can say whatever comes to his mind." The empress sat in the middle of the seat and said, "This is a good child of the imperial concubine, and he never hides his thoughts from anyone."

Concubine De picked out a peony from the bottle and put it behind Han Yun's bun, clapping her hands and praised: "What a wonderful person, people are more delicate than flowers!" Seeing a bright red peony flower pinned to Han Yun's bun, Wearing a rose-colored wide-sleeved robe, it must be an unbearably vulgar dress color on an ordinary woman, but it is extraordinarily bright, attractive, and dazzling when worn on her body.The queen also took her hand and praised her.All of a sudden, there were constant cheers and laughter in the pavilion. "Empress, the gauze curtain hanging on this pavilion is so delicate, what is it made of?" Yi Chongrong asked as he touched the extremely thin gauze curtain, the queen took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "It's just a reward from the previous emperor." What is it called crocodile gauze?" When the concubines heard this, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This crocodile gauze is made of a kind of seabed plant collected from the East China Sea, silver thread, and silk. It is not soaked, it is difficult to get wet in water, and it is like smoke and mist, almost transparent, showing a pearl-like color, it is a rare treasure in the world, some low-level concubines have only heard of it, and have never even seen it.It is too wasteful for the queen to use it to surround the pavilion.Yi Chongrong was full of envy, and murmured: "If only I had some too." The noble concubine gave her a sharp gouged look, which made her tremble in fright, and dared not say any more.Concubine De saw it, she was very proud, and she glanced at Concubine Yi and Yi Chongrong, "Don't say that sister Yi has never seen it, even I and Concubine have only heard about it. Only the Empress and Concubine Hui are blessed to enjoy it." "Oh?" Rong Gui asked after taking a sip of the Double Ninth Flower Cake, "Does Concubine Hui have it too?" Li Zhaorong shot her a glance: "When the Empress was pregnant last time, the Emperor It's a reward." Concubine De took my hand and said with a smile: "My sister is more delicate than us, the emperor should love her more." Concubine Concubine turned her head to look at the flowers outside with a disapproving expression, and the Empress sat in the middle Seriously sipped the tea, but didn't say anything, but gently shook a string of golden beads and tassels on the phoenix mouth on the sideburns.

After staying for more than half an hour, and the tea was almost used up, Concubine De said: "Today, seeing the beautiful scenery in the queen's courtyard, let's not just sit, why don't we go and enjoy the flowers in the garden together?" "The queen nodded and said yes, the maid who was standing next to her quickly came up to help her up, and the concubines followed suit.There are many pines and cypresses planted in Kunning Palace, and flowers and trees are mixed in the courtyard. Because of the warm weather, peonies and peonies compete for beauty, and the courtyard is full of flowers.All the concubines accompanied the queen to admire the flowers in the yard, and they walked around, talking lively, but the noble concubine grabbed a peony and walked behind alone.Concubine De pointed to the flowers and the Empress again, and I admired the flowers as if nothing had happened, sometimes saying this one was good, sometimes praising that one for its beauty.Everyone turned around a pink and white screen wall, only listening to the words and laughing at Yan Yan, but it was the little palace ladies serving the queen, kicking keys for fun.Seeing the queen leading the queens and ladies in the palace over, she hurriedly stopped to say hello.The queen became interested, and promised the maids to play lively, and stood on the porch with all the concubines to watch.They are all young and young, which one is not playful?What's more, in front of the queen, one by one scrambled to be the first, kicking out so many tricks.I saw a court lady with her back to the shadow wall the most agile, kicking out the inner and outer curtains by single, abduction, pacing, falling, pa, cover, shun, even, pulling, stealing, jumping, digging, kicking... Shrugging knees, dragging guns, protruding belly, throwing scissors, Buddha top beads and other colorful names come.It caused everyone to clap their hands and applaud, and she kicked more and more neatly, even the queen in the corridor smiled and nodded.The imperial concubine Shanshan turned out from behind the screen wall, the girl saw the figure, she was startled, the strength on her foot was off the mark, but the key flew straight towards the imperial concubine, she cried out in surprise, the imperial concubine couldn't dodge in time, it happened to hit her .The palace maid knelt down in fear, and because the weather was warm, she kicked the keys for half a day, her face was flushed red, and the sweat on her forehead was glistening, she was very delicate and charming.

"You girl is so careless, didn't the imperial concubine come over and see it? Why don't you plead guilty?" Seeing that the imperial concubine looked unhappy, Han Yun hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the maid.The palace lady just woke up like a dream, and quickly kowtowed: "This servant is careless. This servant knows that I am wrong, and I hope that the imperial concubine will forgive me." "Careless? Are the rules in the palace that can be overcome by a single carelessness? "The imperial concubine angrily threw the shuttlecock into the face of the maid.Originally, because the empress was released suddenly, Han Yun had a fishbone in her throat, so she was in a bad mood, but it happened that this court lady made her embarrassing in front of everyone, how could she not be angry? "This girl is just a moment of carelessness. Why can't my sister be so unforgiving? Besides, compared to these girls, they are newcomers who have just entered the palace. They are young and don't know the rules. Naturally, they are not comparable to us." Concubine De persuaded with a coquettish smile, biting down the word "old" in her words a little harder.If the Empress looked at Concubine De meaningfully, she then said softly to Concubine Gui: "Sister, I don't think that girl did it on purpose, why don't you just calm down and forgive her once?" I was secretly worried about that little maid, Empress It might be okay if you don't persuade her, but if she speaks up, it will be even worse. It seems that she can't escape the wrath of the imperial concubine.The noble concubine's face turned blue for a while, and that old word made her heart ache. Looking at the timid look of the maid next to her, and seeing Han Yunhua's delicate and tender appearance, she felt even more angry, "Sister Defei's words are probably inappropriate. Well, the state has state laws, the family has family rules, and the harem has the etiquette of the harem. Since this court lady doesn’t know the rules, let me teach her the rules.” The noble concubine retorted, and then turned to Suqiu who was following: “Go and bring someone in. Take this girl out!" The queen's face turned pale, and the imperial concubine dared to take someone from her palace in front of her, obviously to embarrass her, she twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand vigorously, twisting and twisting But she didn't open her mouth after all, she was released after all, and the phoenix seal was not returned, and the noble concubine has always acted as an agent for the affairs of the harem, even though the grace is not as good as before, but the power is still there, and there is nothing she can do for a while. "Sister, aren't you embarrassing the queen? The harem has always been peaceful, so why go to war?" Concubine De pretended to comfort her. "I don't want to do this either, but this palace is ordered by the emperor to manage the affairs of the six palaces on behalf of the empress. Naturally, there are rules in the palace. I can't bend the law for personal gain and ignore the rules of the ancestors. Otherwise, how to control the harem in the future will be difficult All the sisters are convinced?" The imperial concubine didn't look at the concubine De, whose face turned pale from being choked by her, paused, then stared at the maid and said, "I think you have entered the palace not long ago, so the palace will not punish you again. I will punish you with twenty sticks in the court, are you convinced?" The imperial concubine was overbearing, and the maid was already frightened, and when she heard the imperial concubine's question, she just nodded numbly.Not long after, Suqiu led the two eunuchs in and dragged down the limp maid.The noble concubine's willow eyebrows were raised, and she expressed her pride in her words.The empress looked pale, while the concubine De concubine gritted her silver teeth secretly. I leaned against the pillar and shook my head slightly, but I saw the beautiful clear eyes looking at me in surprise, with a complicated expression on my face.

Coming out of Defei's palace, I asked Jianyu who was waiting outside the palace gate to go back first, and then said to Bi'er: "You can walk with me." Bi'er nodded, and helped me walk to the depths of Liuyin. "Is the empress worried about that maid?" Bi'er looked at me, I sighed, and leaned against Bai Yulan, "Being beaten is a minor matter, but it just so happened that she was on the fire of the imperial concubine today, I'm afraid those eunuchs in Xing Shensi are afraid of the imperial concubine's power , and want to please the Empress, so they will kill her!" Bi'er was startled: "Aren't they afraid of the empress' blame?" "Hmph, people in the palace are used to favoring the high and trampling on the low, and the empress was not as powerful as the noble concubine before. It’s unclear whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, even if the empress wants to inquire about her crimes, the big deal is to push a girl to be weak.” Just as she was talking, a coquettish smile suddenly came from behind her: “It turns out that my sister also has the heart of a bodhisattva.” I looked back, but it was not right It was Hanyun who brought her girl Xuan'er over.I straightened my bun and said with a smile, "I just feel a little sorry to see that girl is so delicate." Then I looked at Han Yun, "Don't my sister also want to help her out?" , can’t help her.” Han Yun strolled over.I raised my head to look at the sky, in the shadow of the west slanting sun, the sky was blue and there was no cloud at all. Looking up from a distance, it seemed like a deep pool of still water, and said: "It's getting late now, and it's time to go back." So they got off the bridge with Han Yun and walked slowly along the vermilion palace wall.From a distance, I saw two little eunuchs coming over with a stretcher, Han Yun and I hurriedly put down the stretcher, and knelt down on the side of the road to salute: "I invite Empress Li, Xi Baolin to be safe!". "Get up." I looked at the blood-stained white cloth, and my heart couldn't help beating, and it really was like this. "Dare to ask my father-in-law, this is..." Bi'er pointed at the petite person on the stretcher with trembling fingers, "Back to this sister, this is the court lady who committed crimes just sent to the Criminal Justice Department, because she couldn't bear the punishment and died .” The leading eunuch replied. "You go!" Han Yun frowned and ordered, and then looked at me: "In my opinion, it's better for my sister to rarely see these unclean things, so as not to affect the fetus in the womb." The two eunuchs agreed, and carried He hurried off on a stretcher. "Pa" a colorful object fell from the stretcher, but when I looked closely, it was the shuttlecock.Han Yun paused, stepped forward to pick it up and put it in the palm of her hand. "Isn't my sister taboo?" I asked, "It's just a dead thing, there's nothing to be afraid of, but these living people in the palace are even more frightening!" She looked at me with a smile.I was a little surprised that she was so straightforward, but she gave me a gift and drifted away, leaving behind a faint sentence: "If you don't want to be a knife, I will be a fish, just keep it as a reminder!" I looked at Her back view, savoring her phrase "man is a knife, I am a fish". "This Xi Baolin is quite interesting." Bi Er said, I nodded and said: "She is not a simple person, we should pay more attention to her behavior in the future."
