Chapter 163 Queen's Heart 1
Because of the effect of stomach medicine, my stomach discomfort has faded and my appetite has gradually improved. It's a three-point poison. When I felt that it was almost the same, I refused the stomach medicine of the pharmacy, and there was also a pair of nourishing medicine. Please ask Song Yi to change the medicine list to once every three days. Because of dizziness from time to time, I'm afraid that this medicine for nourishing the body will not be cut off for a while. I order the people below not to pass on the use of the medicine, so that people with intentions will not use it.
After about half a month, I felt better and began to walk around the palace. However, I am no longer as close as before, and my face has always been dignified. The passers-by bowed their heads and dare not raise their heads far away from me. Once I bumped into the picker, and she still looked spoiled, and I raised my head and looked at her quietly until she saluted. I'm afraid that she was also shocked by my changed eyes. She looked up inexplicably, but was refuted by my eyes, and then I stroked my sleeve and passed by her.
One day, Mu Yan and Yan Jingwen begged to see each other in front of the temple. I couldn't, so I had to invite them to sit in the courtyard. The two sat opposite me. I quietly watched the tea in the cup rotate. After a long time, Mu Yan couldn't calm down and asked me, "Sister, why don't you come to us when you are well? If we don't come today, are you not going to see us?"
I frowned and asked, "Did I say this?" Ha ha, I forgot."
Muyan and Yan Jingwen looked at each other and didn't say anything. In fact, I didn't forget, but the words on that day were just to send them away, and I didn't arrange to meet them. I had no choice but to see them today. The atmosphere turned awkward. At this time, there was a message from the Legislative Palace, and Empress Changsun called me to go there. I got up and asked the palace people to caresss their robes. I looked at the helpless two people and smiled, "Unlucky, the queen invited me to go to the palace. You two of you better go back to your respective palaces first."
Without waiting for the two to speak, I turned around and took the two lines of palace people to the government palace. Later came Muyan's angry and sullen words and Yan Jingwen's persuasive words. I was confused and quickly turned my footsteps into the palace.
Empress Changsun suddenly summoned her. I couldn't think of any reason, and she entered the political palace with a cloud of suspicion. Empress Changsun was already in the main hall. When she saw me arrive, she turned her eyes back. I blessed her and saw that she put down the jade cup in her hand, raised her eyes along the jade cup, and looked at me and said bluntly, "You must have already noticed the difference between the emperor over the years."
I lowered my eyebrows and smiled and said bitterly: "The emperor's favor must be superior to her."
Queen Changsun sighed, shook her head helplessly, and walked down from the stage: "Today, I am looking for you. I'm talking from the bottom of my heart. Don't hide from me. You and I have been with the emperor for a long time, and we have noticed the strangeness of the emperor. Although this is just an intuition and there is no way to prove anything, the emperor was different from today. He can't just say that the weather is changing day by day.
I speculated that since she made it frank, she must know me, but I don't know what her purpose is. So I nodded slightly and said, "To tell you the truth, my concubine does have doubts about the emperor, but he is the son of heaven, and no one is allowed to doubt and no one is allowed to rebel."
Empress Changsun slowly walked around me and glanced at me. The nobleness and power forced people couldn't help but make people more and more awe. She still said slowly, and her words revealed helplessness and were mostly determined: "Have you ever thought about why the emperor has become like this? The emperor has never been held up for anything. Why did he do this this time? Over the years, he has been protecting her everywhere because he loves her? I don't believe it! I deeply feel that he is in trouble, even as a last resort.
In fact, I have always had an intuition about Queen Changsun's words. Now when I think of picking qian's arrogance and Li Shimin's suspicion of protection everywhere, I calmed down and smiled, "So... What's the order for the queen to call me to come?"
Empress Changsun turned around and was a little surprised by my sudden change, but she continued to ask me, "First of all, what is the biggest shortcoming of this palace in commanding these six palaces?"
I smiled softly and said, "I feel that the queen's greatest weakness is that she is soft-hearted and peace is the most important in everything."
Empress Changsun sighed, raised her head slightly, and looked at the blue sky outside the palace door: "Yes, I don't take action. You and I used to be similar. On that day, I handed it to you to investigate Qinger's matter, and I'm trying to see how far you can do it. I saw that you finally left your previous hesitation, so I can rest assured to hand over this matter to you.
seemed to be in a flash. I recalled that day when the eldest grandson queen promised me to investigate the jade pendant. It turned out that she had long wanted to see if I could be qualified for her task, but I couldn't be happy, because I knew from her that I had really changed and became very different from before. I still smiled and said, "The Empress is too busy to deal with the big and small things in the harem, and it is also appropriate for my concubine to share the burden. Moreover, the Empress doesn't look well today. Please take a good rest. Don't worry too much about this matter. As soon as there is a result, I will report it to you immediately, and I will do my best."
Queen Changsun's eyes softened and showed gratitude. She smiled and said, "It's so good."
While she raised her sleeves and stroved her hands, I saw a connecting buckle around her waist. That's a pair of jade buckles, one is a winged bird and the other is a connecting branch. Queen Changsun has a buckle on her waist, and there must be another one on Li Shimin. For a moment, I looked at the gently swaying jade buckle on the waist of Empress Changsun and reluctantly pulled a smiling face and said a few more words to her. Until I walked out of the government palace, I could no longer support the curvature of the corners of my mouth, and the tingling sadness turned into coldness. Gradually, it gradually spread to my whole body, and my eyes fell to every place were extremely cold. Li Shimin is very kind to everyone, but he seems to be temer to me. I think this is the jealousy of women. It turns out that I am just the same woman in my bones.
However, I was shocked. Aren't I already indifferent to him? Why do I still care about these things? I should not care about anything. The only thing I care about should be a convincing explanation, that is, the task assigned to me by Empress Changsun.
Because of the protection of Empress Changsun, my deployment of manpower is naturally much smoother. What the queen said still needs to start with listening to the picking of Zhuge, but she can't take people to break through the investigation. I sent someone to prepare a few tables of snacks, ordered a palace music, and then invited the palace concubines to come to Deqing Palace for a gathering. Empress Changsun was inconvenient to come. Wei Gui and Yang Fei were standing in the palace to talk to her, and they couldn't come to Deqing Palace. Therefore, in this Deqing Palace, I am both the master and the highest grade. The palace concubines all respected me and hugged me to speak on the throne.
There are endless words with the imperial concubines who are not familiar with me. Mu Yan, Yan Jingwen and the picking mo are sitting a little far away, looking at us from time to time, but they are not close. My eyes went over these yan palace concubines in front of me and stood up. The person in front of me immediately gave way. Then the maid of honor held my arm and walked down to the seat with me. I smiled and asked with a smile, "But the dessert is not to my appetite, but the music is not pleasant?"
Muyan and Yan Jingwen shook their heads, saying that the music was elegant and pleasant to listen to, but they used too much lunch, and they would use snacks later. There were doubts about me in their eyes, but no one mentioned it first. I'm afraid they can't see me clearly for a long time. I turned my head and looked at the other side and sat at the other table. When I looked back, she smiled lightly. There were several nail marks embedded in a piece of jade cake in front of me.
I stepped forward, picked up the jade cake on the plate and handed it to her: "Would you like to try it? This is the newly improved jade cake of the Food Bureau.
I swept the jade cake on my hand and didn't take it. I nodded my forehead and apologized, "I'm not feeling well today. No matter how delicious it is, I can only thank the Empress De's kindness."
After her words, I squeezed the jade cake with my fingertips, but there was still a soft smile on my face: "What the emperor loves most is Cai Chongrong. I'm afraid these things are in the best in Cai Chongrong's eyes."
Caixuan's movements and diametrically opposed smile couldn't help shrinking, but still dared to fight against each other. She quickly reacted, her face was slightly red, and she was shy and helpless: "I didn't think so. It is a major event in the emperor's busy country day and night. My concubine grinded more ink for the emperor than drinking. Now I'm really a little tired. I want to ask for a leave from the German concubine and let my concubine go back to rest.
I suddenly smiled, gracefully made way, and nod with a smile: "I am very moved to be such an emperor. The body is the most important thing. There will be many days to get together in the future. Let's listen to Zhuge and have a good rest this time.
I got up politely. When I was about to turn around and leave, I quickly kicked the stool. Coincidentally, she stepped out, shouted and tripped the stool. She jumped and pushed out the pot of flower tea on the table. The people present all thought that she tripped over the stool and didn't notice my quick movements. Picking theqian half lay on the ground, and a maid of honor pulled her from the side in time, but she heard Yan Jingwen in front of her "ah" and saw her hurriedly patting the tea splashed on her skirt. Yan Jingwen was wearing a double butterfly chrysanthemum embroidered green skirt given by Li Shimin, which was splashed by a flower tea that had just been staggered over. It happened almost at the same time, and there was another crisp sound in the scream, and the whole courtyard suddenly calmed down.
I turned my eyes from Yan Jingwen's skirt to the porcelain piece on the ground, and then to the slowly standing picker, and raised my eyebrows angrily. Yan Jingwen over there stood up while wiping her dress: "It doesn't matter if it's unintentional. Empress Defei..."
" Shut up!" I stopped her and glanced at Cai Ner and said loudly, "What is dirty is Yan Zhaoyi's double butterfly chrysanthemum embroidered green skirt, and what is broken is the blue and white jade porcelain pot of this palace. Even if Yan Zhaoyi does not pursue it, I will not forgive it easily. This blue and white jade porcelain pot was given by the emperor. There are only two sets in the palace. If you throw a jade porcelain pot, one set will be destroyed!"
Only then did Caiqian understand. He looked at my high eyebrows and suppressed his anger and whispered, "My concubine is also careless. Please forgive me."
