After Wan Yanyong helped Qing Ya go back that day, he ordered someone to bathe and change her clothes. He was also a little confused about her long silence and wanted to ask her for clarification.
When she was sitting quietly in front of the small window, looking in the mirror and dressing up, he saw that she had taken off her hairpin with one hand, and a smooth and thick black silk hanging straight down her waist, and her waist was as thin as a willow tree. With such a small action as picking up a hairpin, he was surprised to find that the woman in front of him had already gradually lost her youthfulness and became plumper and slimmer.
Through the small bright window, the thin orchid gauze jacket outlined her curvy figure. At that moment, Wanyan Yongzhen felt that his youth had passed away. When he raised his chin and looked at it, he saw that his black beard was already hanging down. chest.
"Your Majesty! I'm ready, go and see my queen!" The oriole's song brought him back from his thoughts. He raised his head and took a look, and she was right in front of him.
Such a graceful figure was standing before his eyes, and such a youthful face made him want to hold her in his arms, but as soon as he raised his arms, he looked at her and took a step back.
"Qingya, sister punishes you like this, you should fight hard, but the lonely king just wants to say a few words for you, but you have already accepted the punishment!"
She only chuckled and said: "My mother-in-law said that rewards and punishments must be given. Since I made the mistake in the first place, I deserve to be punished."
"If your Majesty protects me today, you will tell others who don't know, is this noble prince spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife? This must not be the case."
Seeing her standing a step away, her posture still upright, he asked again: "Did you tell your sister about the palace?"
She nodded and said: "The king is kind and tolerant, and treats his wives and concubines very well. Many things must be difficult. But mother-in-law is different. Mother-in-law is an elder, so she doesn't have to worry about anything at all. Only fair and just punishment can show the king The inner curtain is in good condition."
"Qingya, only you can understand me like this! Only you can understand my difficulties like this," Wan Yanyong burst into tears.
"It's not that I don't understand the words, it's that after getting along with the king for a long time, I understand your heart. In this world, don't we all exchange people's hearts for people's hearts, are you true and I am true? The king treats me like this So pampered, what else can I complain about?"
"You must always think about whether what you are doing is appropriate for the king!"
When she saw him sitting quietly on the chair with tears in his eyes, she slowly walked forward, put her arms around his thick neck and said: "Your Majesty, I have a strong temper and am not a person who can say sweet words, but In my heart, there are thousands of wishes for the king and the queen!"
"I am young, so I will inevitably make mistakes in many things, but I am not a malicious person, and I hope your Majesty will understand!"
As she spoke, she took a few steps back, touched the tears at the corners of her eyes with her fingertips and said, "Your Majesty, my sister has lost two sons. What she hopes most is that you can stay with her. Go quickly." Bar!"
He stood up, his tall and majestic figure standing in front of her, and the two of them were just one step away. @*~~After a long time, he slowly turned around and walked towards the door. The jade shadow disappeared in the pattering autumn rain.
In the evening, Qingya went to the West Buddha Hall where her mother-in-law lived as promised. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her worshiping the Buddha, so she waited quietly on the corridor. It took more than half an hour before I saw my mother-in-law, Hai Qing patted her broad robe and walked out, inviting her to sleep in the back.
She didn't dare to sit, she only dared to stand, for fear that her mother-in-law would lose her temper again.
"Why do you think I'm punishing you?" She recited a Buddhist sutra, took a sip of water, and then asked.
"My daughter-in-law is not strict in disciplining her servants, which is why she has caused such a disaster. She deserves to be punished!"
Li Hongyuan stared at her, which made her hands sweat. After looking at her, she stepped back, picked up the bamboo strips and ruler with smoothed edges on the table, pushed her forehead, and mocked her very lightly: "You have grown so big, but your brain is still the same. I can't turn it!" She turned around and threw the ruler on the table, sat upright and said: "You must think that I deliberately targeted you to embarrass you!"
She lowered her head and answered: "My nephew doesn't dare!"
"Don't you dare. I watched you grow up. I don't know what you are thinking?"
"You are my nephew, I am your aunt, and now we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How could I deliberately make things difficult for you and embarrass you? Instead, I want to use this to temporarily suppress you, let some people be arrogant for a period of time, and treat her too much I’ll punish her to the end once and for all, and she won’t be able to stand up again!”
"This is called retreating in order to advance!"
Qingya was shocked, it turned out to be her aunt.
The mother's heart was like a bright mirror, and before she knew it, she put down her clenched hands.
"Aunt, do you also think that Xiang Ling is the one causing the ghost?"
I saw her, one part arrogant and two parts sarcastic, she put the Buddha string on the table and sneered: "Huh! What does Wulu's biological grandmother look like? Xiang Ling is carved out of the same mold. Who?" Don’t you know the name of Concubine Taizu Pusan De? I just want to be lucky that your uncle and your cousin don’t follow her.”
"Xiang Ling has been so pampered since she entered the house. She is always pampered and arrogant. She feels that she can't overpower Xuan'er, so she wants to bully Qinli. I have been angry for a long time! But I think she has nothing to do with her. It's a big mistake, so I don't bother to argue with her."
"This time, when I lost Yun Nian, I immediately thought that she deliberately left the fifth brother outside. She had been grudges for a long time. She had lost her child a few years ago, so she always thought it was the imperial concubine who had done something. That’s why I attacked Yun Nian and created an unintentional appearance.”
She shook her head, looked at the upright Qingya, and said righteously: "The king is kind and generous. Even if he is held accountable, he will only be grounded and cannot do much, but you can..., so that she will never turn around again. .”
After hearing this, Qingya suddenly had an idea and said: "You want me to pretend to be wronged, pretend to be indifferent, let her continue to be rampant, and finally shoot myself in the foot?"
Li Hongyuan nodded and boasted: "As expected of my niece, she can understand everything."
"You will find that the more disappointed you are, the prouder she will be. The more proud she is, the more likely she will be exposed. When the time comes, she will be at your disposal! You have no basis now. If you want to convict her, it will be even more difficult. .”
After talking for a long time, Li Hongyuan stepped forward and held her hand, gently pulled her to sit next to her, and looked at her sincere eyes, tears suddenly welling up in his eyes.
——"Qingya, good boy, when I see you, it feels like I saw you when I was young, so persevering and unyielding."...
"Women, you have to be like this, you have to be so strong!"
"You are very good now. On the outside, you are a well-educated lady, but on the inside you are strong and strong. I heard the servant said that you were so brave when you raised your sword to kill the thief that night. You can be both soft and strong. This is my Bohai Li family. woman."
After saying that, she patted her hand again, put the smoothed edge of the ruler in her hand and said: "Okay, serve the king well with the concubine, and become the king's virtuous wife. What's wrong with you?" Drive away all good-hearted people!"
"Neither you nor I are saints. We should understand the principle of murder for life. Let's just lower our heads and watch her dig her own grave."
Qingya thought about it, and suddenly she seemed to understand. She also understood her aunt's good intentions. @
The two looked at each other for a long time, listening to the patter of rain outside the house gradually stopping, and she urged her to go to Jinglin Garden to see the imperial concubine. Before leaving, she lightly held the square ruler - which Aunt Fang and her father both held. It came to hit the small bamboo board in its hand, and saw Li Hongyuan gently pushing the Buddhist beads in his hand, standing on the threshold and saying: "Don't forget the grievances and suffering you have suffered!"
She memorized it, memorized it deeply, and had some thoughts in her mind. She went to the imperial concubine's garden, brought Mingxuan's favorite "Bang Lin Xian," and explained today's events to her in private.
Although Mingxuan had not come out of her sadness and had not eaten a bite of fried bamboo shoots, she gradually calmed down with her comforting words.
The affection between them remains the same.
In the winter of that year, the emperor was overjoyed when he received the news of Wanyan Yongdong's great victory over the bandits. He immediately issued an edict to bestow a thousand taels of gold on him. Thinking of the pain of losing his son, he sent people to take him back to the capital for recuperation as an emperor. His younger brother Wanyangun stayed behind in Tokyo.
The essence of these measures was to prevent Wanyan Yong from pacifying the bandits in Liaodong and becoming famous, and to prevent him from staying in Liaoyang for a long time to win the hearts of the people and threaten the rule, so he called him back to Beijing to recuperate for a period of time under the guise.
Wanyanyong also knew in his heart that the emperor was wary of him, so he discussed it with his wife, said goodbye to his mother, and returned to Huining after a long journey of two months. When he returned to the capital, it was already the spring of Tiande's fourth year. On.
On this day, it was the birthday of Queen Tu Shan Lirou. The emperor held a banquet in the Wude Hall. All the officials congratulated each other, and the concubines all paid their respects. The banquet was held at the entrance of the Wude Hall, with a circular path in the middle for singing and dancing. Extending from the road, there are four levels of tables in total.
Looking up, the golden palace is brilliant, with brocade and silk hanging from the beams, pearls and jade falling down, and the concubines and concubines opposite, all with splendid crowns, enchanting pink faces, and beautiful faces.
She is more delicate than a flower, and is as beautiful as a cloud.
The grandness of the scene was something Qingya had never seen in her life.
At the spring banquet, with wine in hand, singing and dancing, everyone toasted to the queen who was sitting high and dressed in gorgeous clothes.
——It’s still the old saying, “The Queen may live a thousand years, and may the Empress be in good health.”
After the wine was finished, the queen thanked the ministers and drank the whole cup.
Since Mingxuan lost her two sons last time, she has rarely been happy again. After finally waiting for today's banquet, she wanted to have a good drink with her husband.
"Mr. Lang! I'm in high spirits today! Would you like to have a few drinks with Mr. Lang?"
Then, Qing Ya sat at the back table and watched the two of them touch the cup and drink the rich wine. His left hand gently caressed Mingxuan's slender back.
Looking at it, she filled the empty cup in her hand with wine.
The emperor was sitting high up, and a concubine was fanning a small ball fan. Seeing this scene, she just smiled, as if there was something behind her words: "His Royal Highness, King Yong, is still so deeply in love with Concubine Yong Guo, it's surprising to people." Everyone is envious."
Mingxuan replied politely: "The imperial concubine is joking. The affection between the imperial concubine and your majesty is what the clan members envy."
Looking up from the elegant sound, I saw, isn't this Wanyan Wudai's wife Tang Kuo Dingge?
——Quietly asking for sympathy, I remembered that Tang Kuo Dingge had an affair with Wanyan Liang many years ago. After Wanyan Liang became the king, he simply forced her to divorce her husband Wanyan Wudai so that she could serve in the palace. . But Dingge felt ashamed and was not moved. Later, Wan Yanliang simply sent someone to strangle Wu Dai to death while he was drunk, so that Ding Ge was brought into the palace, always by his side, and is now a noble concubine.
Just looking at Tang Kuo Dingge, she became more and more plump and plump. She has been favored for a long time, and she is more beautiful and enchanting than before. When she raised her hand to fan, she smiled and said: "Oh, why do everyone have to say this? It's shameful!"
She turned her head to look at Qing Ya, and then glanced at the emperor. Looking at his still joyful face, she pointed with her fan and asked, "The one behind you must be Mrs. Wan Guo! Madam Li, I haven't seen you for many years!"
Na Dingge raised her little eyebrows, slapped her fan on her tube top, and smiled seductively at her. Update without error@
Qing Ya paused for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, my concubine followed the king back to the capital, and I haven't paid homage to your concubine yet. It is really my fault."
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite. Don't be so formal. We almost became a family back then. If you were here, how would I be able to take my turn!" She looked down at the queen who was sitting quietly and said, "My queen, You must be thinking this way too!”
The queen smiled and said nothing, but the emperor's bright eyes were gradually attracted by the elegance.
Seeing this, Qing Ya was in full view of everyone. She was extremely indifferent and smiled back: "The imperial concubine is joking. The empress is as bright as a spring flower. There is no one in the world. She has been born for thousands of years. I am so humble, how can I be with the empress?" Comparable!"
"What's wrong with being modest! If you don't believe it, Mrs. Li can give it a try,"
After saying this, the officials were speechless and the palace was deserted. .
