Unlike Sun's high-profile visit to the palace to say goodbye to her daughter, Queen Yang Xianrong became silent in the palace. Not only did she not leave the palace, she rarely saw outsiders.
The weather was getting colder, so she also ordered that if there was no big event, the female relatives of dignitaries would not need to enter the palace to pay their respects.
In fact, Yang Xianrong was still very busy in the palace.
In addition to directing the palace people in Tianyuan Palace to recategorize and organize the items sent by her mother, Sun, she was also busy copying the "Maharaprajna Sutra", which was what she had promised Mao Hongbin to do.
Emperor Sima Zhong didn't have much reaction to the matter of Concubine Li and Concubine Li's father and brother. After just asking a few casual questions, he began to frequently enter and leave the Heyuan where Poppy, Xin Meiren and Zhao Meiren lived together.
He had so many concubines that Yang Xianrong could only recognize them clearly by looking at the roster.
"Today is thirty, and the emperor is coming here." Zhang Liang hoe reminded Yang Xianrong in a low voice.
She had just gotten up and washed herself. She was standing in the sun looking at the "Maharaprajna Sutra" that she had copied yesterday, and she always felt that something was not right.
"Well, let's prepare some of the emperor's favorite foods." She turned around and asked Cui Xi, "Do you still have some of the lotus leaf cake that mother brought over? Steam two pieces as well."
"Okay." Cuixi nodded in agreement and brought her hot tea, "A goat came into the dining room today. I would like to ask the queen which flavor she would like to eat?"
"Why are there goats at this time of year?" Yang Xianrong took a sip of hot tea and sat down.
Luzhu also walked over and helped her dress up.
"...You have to listen to Chief Zhang on this matter." Lu Zhu grinned.
"Oh?" Sure enough, there was a problem.
Zhang Liangxue coughed lightly, thought for a while, and coughed again.
This made Yang Xianrong look over, "What? It's hard to tell?"
"Back to the Empress, let's talk about this...Have you heard about the late emperor's six-sheep chariot?" Zhang Liangzhao came slightly closer.
"No." Yang Xianrong was a little curious.
"That...is like this. The late emperor had many concubines, and he didn't know which concubine he was going to where every night..." Zhang Liang was a little more cautious when talking about the former emperor Sima Yan.
"Oh?" Yang Xianrong's interest was obviously aroused, and his eyes became bright.
"Then the late emperor came up with a way. Every evening, he would ride a Liuyang Cart, which is a float pulled by six goats, and walk around the palace... If the Liuyang Cart stopped at the gate of any palace, tonight Just stay there."
"Can it still be like this?" Yang Xianrong didn't know what to say, "So, the emperor also has a six-yang chariot? When did it happen?"
"Recently, haven't you been going to Concubine Li? Later on Concubine Li...the emperor has been in Zhengyang Palace and has not gone to anyone else. I don't know what happened. Three days ago, he suddenly remembered that he followed the example of the late emperor and took the Liuyang Car. , asked General Manager Zhang to quickly find six goats and make such a cart. The emperor also wanted to have fun, and the goats pulled the cart, which did not move very fast, so he walked slowly in the palace. "
"Okay." Yang Xianrong rubbed his eyes, and Lu Zhu asked softly: "But is the hair tied tightly?"
"That's not true, it's just that my eyes are a little tired."
"Our Tianyuan Palace is going to plant some flowers and plants. When the Queen is tired of copying, it would be good to take a look at these and relax her eyes." Luzhu's hand also became much lighter, and he slowly combed the dark hair of Sheep Xianrong. Long hair.
"No need, it looks annoying and attracts mosquitoes in the summer." But Yang Xianrong didn't like this.
"This..." Zhang Liangxue lowered his head again, "The sheep were eating grass. The three beauties in the lotus garden must have gotten wind of the news. They brought a lot of the grass and willow branches that were not yet withered by Yingliu Lake. , causing the Liuyang Car to go all the way to their side. The Liuyang Car has been going there every day these days..."
"Isn't this good? It's also fun." Yang Xianrong didn't take it seriously, thinking that Sima Zhong was indeed a fun-loving person.
"Yes, yes, it's quite fun. But, these sheep ate too much, and two of them died." Zhang Liang did not know how to continue.
"How much have you eaten?" Cui Xi couldn't help but talk at the side, "You won't be able to survive."
"The Emperor is staying in the Lotus Garden, and six sheep are waiting in the yard, eating and eating to their heart's content... isn't that too much?"
Cuixi didn't dare to laugh.
Yang Xianrong grinned, but felt that it was ridiculous.
"Okay, then it would be good for us to have steamed mutton tonight."
"Prepare a separate plate for the emperor. He has bad teeth and cannot eat hard objects." Lan Xiang stood aside and whispered.
"Okay, you can figure it out." Yang Xianrong didn't want to worry too much. She was focused on copying scriptures.
However, the emperor did not come to Tianyuan Palace at night.
In the dark night, the sound of shakuhachi sounded, melodious and very pleasant.
Yang Xianrong stood in the yard and listened.
"This sound seems to be coming from Luyuan." Zhang Liangxue also stood aside and listened.
"Who lives in Deer Park?"
"Such as beauty, beauty and beauty."
"Oh." Yang Xianrong nodded, "Just wait."
"Do you want me to find someone to take a look?" Zhang Liangxue asked cautiously.
"No need." Yang Xianrong didn't want to see the emperor at all, and felt a little irritated.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Liangzhao was a very good judge of eyes, so he immediately nodded in agreement without saying a word.
By the time of Haishi, there was still no sign of Sima Zhong.
Yang Xianrong had already had the palace door closed and planned to lock it.
Zhang Du was sweating profusely from running. He knelt in front of Yang Xianrong and said breathlessly: "My Queen, please forgive me. Your Majesty drank too much today. I'm afraid he won't be able to come over."
"Where is he?" Because he had expectations in his heart, Yang Xianrong was not angry. He just asked Zhang Du to confirm his guess.
"Deer Park."
"Like a beauty?" Yang Xianrong chuckled.
"Yes." Zhang Du was vague, unable to guess the meaning of Yang Xianrong's laughter, so he lowered his head even more, "Queen, please don't be angry."
"It's okay, don't be angry." Yang Xianrong laughed again, "Mr. Zhang, please stop kneeling. Luyuan is quite far away from here. Let's take a breath and drink a cup of hot tea first. Oh, by the way, the emperor must be here too." You’ve already fallen asleep, so don’t rush over there, right? Let’s talk to me first. I’m still cooking mutton soup here, so it should be drinkable.”
"The Queen..." Zhang Du became more and more frightened. He didn't know what the new queen meant. After all, it had been spread that she had set up a trap in the Beijun Mansion. Her vivid description made her image in people's minds more vivid and vivid.
