Chapter 62 The harem calms down but the overall situation
The cold night did not look at the people present, but knelt on one knee and bowed to Xiao Yuanqi.
"I have seen the Lord."
The cold voice resounded in the hall, and the Lord had made his identity very clear. Shen Sirong was a little puzzled. The identity of the cold night was naturally secret. How could it be exposed like this?
Xiao Yuanqi patted the back of Shen Sirong's hand calmly, and the cold light in his black eyes was dazzling and definitely fell on Wang Shu.
"I don't know anything about my beloved concubines. This person is the bodyguard I sent to protect Shen Guifei, and I will not leave with my order. And I also allow it to carry a sword. I don't know who else wants to say that Shen Guifei's behavior is unscright? Who suspects that the noble concubine is not my child?
A few words seem peaceful, but they are murderous. Naturally, Wang Shu did not dare to touch Xiao Yuanqi's reverse scales again. She first got up and worshipped: "I don't know why. I am disrespectful to the noble concubine. Please punish me."
"My concubine, please punish the emperor." The leading Concubine Li pleaded guilty. Of course, the rest would no longer be frozen, and they also went down the steps one after another. If they didn't know the inside story, they could save their lives.
Xiao Yuanqi glanced at Shen Sirong and said, "Today's matter is at the disposal of the noble concubine, and I will never interfere."
This life cut off the way of the concubines. As long as Shen Simong let them die, they must also die.
Knowing that Xiao Yuanqi wanted to give himself this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, Shen Sirong smiled indifferently. How could she fail Xiao Yuanqi's heart? There were some lip lines on her red lips, and she whispered, "Since everyone said they didn't know, how can I blame you more?"
Without waiting for everyone to be relieved, Shen Sirong said again: "However, the harem has the rules of the harem, so naturally you can't be punished. According to this palace, it's better to let all the sisters be punished for one month and banned for three days. What does the emperor think?
"I'll do whatever you want." Xiao Yuanqi was a little helpless, and she was always heartless.
The concubines looked at each other and kowtowed: "Thank you, Madam."
This punishment was so easy that the concubines couldn't help but write down Shen Sirong's kindness on this day. Except for the hard backs of the leading Concubine Li, Concubine Dong and Concubine Yun, the rest must be sincerely grateful.
When everything was solved, Shen Sirong's cheeks turned white.
"Sirong?"
With Xiao Yuanqi shouting, Shen Sirong slowly collapsed his body. The voice in her ear was very clear, but she couldn't open her eyes.
The fragrance of medicine lingered in the room, and Shen Sirong's eyelashes trembled slightly and woke up.
"Are you awake?" Xiao Yuanqi's eyes were full of light.
Shen Sirong smiled and leaned on Xiao Yuanqi's shoulder: "Your Majesty, can you release that Meng's clothes?" Shen Sirong's eyes entered a pair of black deep pool-like eyes. Shen Sirong did not avoid it. She just dreamed of the change of clothes.
I vaguely guessed Shen Sirong's thoughts, and Xiao Yuanqi nod lightly: "I have asked someone to send her out of the palace." Xiao Yuanqi dodged. He did not tell Shen Sirong that Meng Jingyi had been killed by suicide. Although her death had nothing to do with others, he did not want Shen Sirong to be more burdened.
"Hmm. Why did the emperor expose the identity of Hanye? Didn't that make the people over there know more about the details?
Shen Sirong's worried question slowly dispersed when Xiao Yuanqi hugged her. Xiao Yuanqi's lips fell on the side of Shen Sirong's face. After a shallow kiss, he said, "I just want them to know that you are protected by me. They dare not casually pay attention to your head, which is safer than hiding in the dark on a cold night.
Hold Xiao Yuanqi tightly, and there was a faint fragrance of dragon birth under his nose. Xiao Yuanqi took care of her temples and said, "Today, you are so noisy that you have a fetal gas. You can have a good rest. I still have something to do. Later, I will hold a banquet to entertain the envoys of Ulan, and I will call someone to pick you up."
It was not until Xiao Yuanqi left Yongqing Palace until he saw Shen Sirong take medicine and fell asleep again.
......
The night was cold, and Shen Sirong stepped into the Yun Ni Hall.
"The noble concubine has arrived."
Wearing a noble concubine's dress, with a snow-white fox coat cloak on her outside, with light makeup on her face and a touch of red lotus on her eyebrows, Shen Sirong, who was originally peerless and beautiful, was even more charming.
Xiao Yuanqi looked at the approaching person and couldn't help but be shocked. Tonight, she is as shocking as a epwax that blooms at midnight.
"My beloved concubine came to sit with me." There was a bright light in Yale's eyes. Xiao Yuanqi was very unhappy. His eyes narrowed slightly and he got up to meet Shen Sirong.
Shen Sirong bent down to thank him and sat next to Xiao Yuanqi. He was warm in his hand and his hesitation faded. The two looked at each other, and Xiao Yuanqi knocked on the table of the dragon case. Wang Guangrong called loudly, and the singers in light veils filed in one after another.
Xiao Yuanqi ordered someone to change the wine in front of Shen Sirong into tea and carefully put vegetables for her. This move made the courtiers terrious. Shen Shiyan is now waiting for sin, but Shen Sirong is so favored that it is too strange.
Yale smiled cheerfully and said loudly, "We heard that Changli women are beautiful and unparalleled. It's true that we know this when we met the noble concubine today."
No one accepted this, but Xiao Yuanqi's face was obviously a little colder. Prime Minister Ulan never received a reply, with a smile on his face. When there was a gap between singing and dancing, there was another boast: "Changli is indeed an outstanding person. This time, I sent tributes by the king's order to show my submission to the Changli Dynasty, and ask the emperor to accept it with a smile.
After offering the gift list in his arms, Xiao Yuanqi took a closer look and smiled, "Your king has a heart."
After toasting a few glasses of wine in a row, the messenger proposed to Xiao Yuanqi with a little drunkenness, "Your Majesty, I heard that the heavenly dynasty is outstanding and unparalleled wind and moon. I am lucky to come to see it this time. I don't know if the emperor can appreciate it?"
Now there is no time to pay tribute, and the people from Ulan must have something to ask for. And according to the news of the spy, not long ago, the envoys of Ulan State set out together, and one side went to Xikun and came to Changli. If you think about it, there will be a war on the border.
So Xiao Yuanqi has been ready for a long time, and now he is very safe to see Yale mention it.
"Oh? This can also help. I don't know what Lord Yale wants to compare? Xiao Yuanqi glanced at the courtiers present, but the reactions of the courtiers were different.
"Your Majesty, don't hurt your harmony." Zuo Cheng and Chen Xun said.
Wang Chu still disagrees with him: "Your Majesty, you might as well let the envoys of the Kingdom of Ulan see the prosperity of our country of Changli."
"Okay, I'm very interested today. You might as well have a good time. Lord Yale, just have a question." Xiao Yuanqi asked with a restrained look and smiled.
Yeru arched his hand, and behind him, a Ulan man dressed as a bodyguard jumped over the case and came to the center of the hall. Xiao Yuanqi knew at a glance that this man was strong in martial arts. He thought for a while and said, "Do you want to fight? Since your country is a bodyguard, how about Changli also looking for a bodyguard?
Seeing Yale's proud look, Xiao Yuanqi smiled more. He looked at the cold night dressed by the bodyguard and raised his voice, "Cold night, you go, but I have something to say first. If you lose, you will be punished. If you win, you will be punished if you let my noble concubine see a little blood."
The bodyguard in the center of the hall must be an arrogant person. Hearing Xiao Yuanqi's advice, a red silk rose in his eyes, pulled out his knife and said to the cold night, "Do something."
The cold night did not draw the sword and flew to the reflective blade, and the scabbard shocked the man to take a step back. Suddenly, he didn't dare to be careless and stared on the moves of the cold night.
The man's killing moves gradually rose, and the scabbard of the cold night only defended and did not attack, and it seemed that he had fallen to the ground. Changli courtiers and Yale looked at it carefully for fear of missing a moment and losing the next moment. Xiao Yuanqi was not worried, but gently prepared for Shen Sirong. He looked at Shen Sirong's clenched hand, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart.
"What? Is the concubine worried?" Xiao Yuanqi's movements in his hand are still gentle, but the irony between his words is very strong. Seeing this, Shen Sirong buried his head and stopped looking at the cold night waving the scabbard.
Picking up a green bamboo shoot, Shen Sirong tasted it carefully: "This green bamboo shoot is really refreshing."
Seeing that Shen Sirong praised his dish, Xiao Yuanqi's face softened slightly. When he looked up again, the sword in his hand had been pulled out, and the cold blade was fierce. But the moves made by the cold night are clearly just teasing the enemy. The other party's move is murderous, and he is not able to hurt the other party at all.
"Your Majesty, since you can't tell the winner, how about it as a draw?" Yale saw that the people on his side were clearly invincible, so he took the initiative to retreat.
Before Xiao Yuanqi agreed, His Highness burst into laughter. Looking intently at it, the bodyguard of Ulan was cut off, and at a glance, he seemed to be wrapped in cloth. Indifferently collected his sword in the cold night, he bowed to Xiao Yuanqi, and then stood back beside Shen Sirong.
The Ulan bodyguard looked at the torn in the material and bowed his hand: "I admit defeat."
Xiao Yuanqi looked at Yale with a smile, and Yale's face quickly changed and was full of smiles: "Changli is really talented. This time, the king has another gift for the emperor."
After saying that, Yale clapped his hands, and a woman came in gracefully from the outside. At a glance, she knew that her figure and appearance were excellent. The woman went to the palace and bowed: "Princess Peiya of Ulan has met Emperor Changli."
The jade chopsticks in Shen Sirong's hand slipped down, and his lips faded a little. With one hand to catch the fallen jade chopsticks, Xiao Yuanqi gently raised the corners of his mouth. Somehow, Shen Sirong's reaction made him happy.
"I don't know what Princess Ulan wants to try when she comes to Changli?" Xiao Yuanqi deliberately aggravated the word "comparation" and couldn't help but distance a lot.
Princess Napeya smiled softly, which was somewhat similar to Wang Shu. Shen Sirong glanced at Wang Chu under his seat, and his eyes were also quite unwilling.
"Peya likes Changli culture, and asks the emperor to send a concubine to compete with Peya." Princess Peiya's words made Shen Sirong feel cold. She was the only concubine present, but she didn't know what she was selling.
Xiao Yuanqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Prince Peiya mainly competes with my concubine?"
"Yes, I heard that the imperial concubines are all selected by thousands of people, which is naturally extraordinary. Peiya and the emperor's concubine compare Changli's things. Presumably, the emperor will not refuse, will he? Peiya smiled and said it just right. Xiao Yuanqi would not allow him to disallow it at all. Otherwise, if it spreads, Changli's national prestige will be damaged.
