The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 633

After a while, the queen hurried back to the bedroom again, just about to open the door when she saw Concubine Rong standing in front of the mahogany box and looking at it curiously, her heart trembled for a moment, and she even forgot what she was going to say.

She wanted to go forward and try to cover up one or two things, but she was afraid that there would be no silver 300 taels here.

Just at a loss as to what to do, Concubine Wu Guifei saw her at a loss, but immediately thought about it, she got up and asked: "Madam, could it be that there is something wrong with Qianqing Palace again?!"

There is not only concern for the emperor in the words, but also a little bit of irrepressible excitement.

"Yes and no."

The queen subconsciously nodded, and then shook her head hurriedly: "It is said that there is an impeachment report that made the emperor very angry. The concubine Li on duty is afraid that something will go wrong, so she wants me to go over and persuade her."

Concubine Rong also looked away from the mahogany box at this time, turned her head and sighed: "It is strange that people say that adversity reveals true love, and now she is your empress..."

She paused for a moment, and then added Concubine Wu Gui: "Your Majesty can still listen to Sister Wu when you talk to her."

In fact, Concubine Wu Gui didn't dare to say a word in front of the emperor, and her performance was even worse than that of Concubine Rong.

But the more this is the case, the more Concubine Wu can't help but feel complacent when she hears that Concubine Rong ranks her with the Queen. He volunteered to go to Qianqing Palace with the queen.

Seeing this, Concubine Rong wisely took her leave first.

When he came out of Chuxiu Palace, thinking back to the scene just now, he thought to himself that the three-inch man is a good one to look at, if not, use her as a breakthrough first.

The so-called "three-inch small" and so on are naturally mocking Concubine Wu Guifei's short stature.

However, although Concubine Wu Guifei was born petite, her body proportions are very well-proportioned, and she is also good at dancing. In the past, she had the nickname of 'Sai Feiyan', which is far from being comparable to any three-incher.

After pondering for a while how to please Concubine Wu Gui, Concubine Rong remembered the mahogany box, the empress was obviously very concerned about that thing at that time, and the shape of the box did not seem to be commonly used in women's houses.

Could it be that the 'important things' related to Jiao Changqing were sealed inside?
Thinking of the emperor's and empress's reply earlier, Concubine Rong's heart was burning, and she wished she could go back the same way and open the box to have a look.

But there is a special lock hanging on it, which is obviously not so easy to open.

What method should I think of to get a glimpse of the truth?

The words are divided into two parts.

But after seeing Concubine Rong away, the queen said to Concubine Wu: "Sister, wait for me outside for a while, I will come to fetch some things."

As he said that, he hurried back to the bedroom, found a brocade handkerchief of the same color as the surrounding furniture, and covered most of the mahogany box.

In fact, when she first brought this thing back, she also thought about hiding it deep in the cabinet, but every time she was worried, for fear that someone would take it away, and she would not notice it in time, so she finally chose to put it in the open On the surface, there are two locks inside and outside for insurance.

After covering it with a veil, she took half a step back and looked up and down, and was slightly relieved when she saw that the mahogany box was no longer conspicuous.

but……

Sister Concubine Rong just looked at it for a while, if she finds out that she has covered up in the future, will she become suspicious instead?
"Miss?"

At this moment, Concubine Wu Gui was impatient to wait outside, she couldn't help raising her voice to urge her, the empress had no choice but to let go of her apprehension, and walked out of the dormitory quickly.

After the two left Chuxiu Palace and chatted all the way, the empress gradually calmed down and was thinking about how to persuade the emperor when she heard Concubine Wu complaining in a low voice: "The face of Concubine Rong, only the empress can do it." See? When she was favored earlier, she was not like this. Every time we met, I wished I could stick those two taels of meat on your face—hmph~ Isn’t it just fatter than others, what’s the point? Proud?!"

Two taels of meat?
The queen was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and said in her heart, let alone two jin, even if it was two jin.

But was Concubine Rong like that before?

She recalled it for a while, but she could hardly find any similar memories. Firstly, Concubine Rong did not dare to make trouble in front of her. Second, although she herself was not compared to Concubine Rong, she was also an outstanding figure in the harem. Concubine Rong has nothing to be ashamed of - and if one insists on saying that Concubine Wu Gui has any shortcomings, it would be her chest that complements her stature.

Speaking of...

The queen subconsciously glanced at the aggrieved Concubine Wu Gui, secretly thinking that not only Concubine Rong has changed, but why not Concubine Wu Gui?
If it was before His Majesty had a stroke and hemiplegia, with her cowardly character, how dare she blatantly criticize Concubine Rong in front of her?

It is absolutely impossible to actively question Jiao Shun's behavior in teaching before!

However, Concubine Wu Guifei didn't see the Queen's response after applying the eye drops, and she couldn't help but said again: "Your Majesty, don't let her coax you, this bastard is very mean, and he can do anything for the sake of solid favor. I heard before..."

Speaking of this, she stood on tiptoe and wanted to whisper to the queen, but was embarrassed to find that even if she stood on tiptoe, her mouth had just reached the queen's shoulder.

Fortunately, the queen also discovered this in time and listened quickly, which made her successfully say a few whispers.

The Queen's complexion changed when she heard it, not because of the embarrassing description itself, but because of the tricks described by Concubine Wu Gui, she felt vaguely familiar, as if she had...

I have seen it in Jiao Shun's two memorials!

The queen couldn't help but spit secretly, thinking that the emperor not only read it repeatedly, but also learned it!

I don't know...

Did he use the methods he learned back then on himself?

Once this doubt surfaced, it lingered in my mind, so inadvertently, the queen had another motive for wanting to open the memorial.

No more talking on the road.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, the empress and Concubine Wu walked into the bedroom one after the other—there was a kick at the door, and Concubine Wu was still cowardly after all—then the emperor roared behind the curtain: "If you don't investigate this matter thoroughly, I will After several years of hard work with the Ministry of Industry, wouldn’t it be easier for those thieves in the end?!”

Hearing this voice, although the spirit was lacking, it was obvious that the emperor's energy was still normal. The empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the curtain and walked in quickly.

Before she could speak to persuade, Emperor Longyuan, who was half lying and half leaning on the bed, looked over in a blink of an eye, and immediately annoyed: "Why did you startle the queen again? Concubine Li?!"

Concubine Li, who was trembling by the side, quickly knelt down and bowed her head, not daring to say a word.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly argued for her: "Sister Li Concubine is also worried about your body..."

"Humph~"

Before the queen could finish speaking, Emperor Longyuan snorted, and said contemptuously at Concubine Li: "In the past, everyone wanted to be alone with me, but now that I'm useless, they pushed them away one by one, as if they were afraid of being contaminated with something. !Although I am paralyzed, I am not deaf and blind..."

"His Majesty!"

The queen didn't care about the rules of respect and inferiority, so she hurriedly stopped the emperor's angry words.

At this time, the emperor also realized that he had violated the taboo of the Supreme Emperor, so he hummed again and fell silent for a while.

At this time, Concubine Li was frightened out of her wits, and she kowtowed and shouted for grievances, and her forehead was bruised after only a few strokes.

The queen quickly stepped forward to help her up, and turned her head to ask Concubine Wu Gui to comfort her, so that she could free up her hands to persuade the emperor.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I realized that Concubine Wu Gui didn't dare to come in at all, and she was still shrinking outside the curtain.

She sighed helplessly, and simply pulled Concubine Li to the outside of the curtain, and said to Concubine Wu, "Sister Li Concubine was a little frightened, I trouble you to send her back."

Concubine Wu Gui heard that the emperor was furious, and was regretting that she shouldn't have followed. At this time, hearing the words, she felt amnesty, and regardless of Concubine Li's willingness, she hurriedly dragged her away.

The queen watched the two disappear outside the palace gate, shook her head and sighed softly, turned around and returned to the curtain alone.

…………

It is afternoon.

Ten miles away from the west gate, Jiao Shun was lying on the grass without any image. Xiao Zhixia, who was nearly ten months old, was rolling and crawling on his belly, trying to break free, but he repeatedly straightened him with his big hands. I just yelled anxiously.

Xing Xiuyan has long been used to the way the father and daughter get along, so it's as if they haven't seen each other, playing badminton with Pinger, Cuilu, Siqi, and Yindie not far away.

This is exactly the surprise that Jiao Shun said yesterday.

The backyard of Jiao's house is not big, and the bicycle is difficult to use, but Shi Xiangyun is restless, so Jiao Shun specially ordered some badminton rackets to be made for her to exercise her muscles and bones on weekdays.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun was mentioned, she jumped out to fight the injustice.

Seeing her directly hugging Xiao Zhixia from Jiao Shun's arms, she scolded: "Master is also messing around, isn't it afraid that Zhixia will yell out his voice?"

"Children should exercise their lung capacity more."

As Jiao Shun spoke, he sat up and turned over, cleaned the dirt on his body casually, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you play anymore?"

"I'm tired, and besides, I can't always dominate a position."

As Shi Xiangyun said, he pressed his forehead against Zhixia's forehead affectionately, winked at her and made a few funny faces, seeing the little guy giggling, she couldn't help laughing herself.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Shun grinned and said suddenly: "Why is your body covered with so much dust?"

"where?"

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly lowered his head to look left and right when he heard the words, but it was really inconvenient to hold the child.

Jiao casually said, "Turn your back to me, and I'll help you shoot it off."

Shi Xiangyun didn't expect to be deceitful, so he hugged Zhixia's back and stood up with Jiao Shun. Suddenly, Jiao Shun put his arms around her lower abdomen and pulled her back forcefully.

"ah!"

Shi Xiangyun exclaimed and said anxiously, "Don't hurt the child!"

Afterwards, he felt that Jiao Shun's strength was very gentle, and he supported her back with the top of his head, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Jiao Shun lay down again, and Shi Xiangyun lay on his back, holding a little Zhixia in his arms.

Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to struggle, but when Jiao Shun stopped, looked up at the cloudless sky, listened to her husband's strong heartbeat, and held a cute little Zhixia in his arms, he immediately forgot about the struggle. .

He just shook his head and changed into a comfortable position, then silently looked at the sky.

The husband and wife enjoyed this rare tranquility, but Xiao Zhixia didn't stop, lying in Shi Xiangyun's arms and writhing wildly a few times, as if she found a part that was similar to her mother's, she simply hugged her and hugged her through her clothes. I shut my mouth.

"Yeah~!"

Shi Xiangyun exclaimed, turned over and sat up all of a sudden.

"what happened?"

"Zhixia she..."

Shi Xiangyun was embarrassed to say so, but as she stood up, Jiao Shun saw what her daughter did.

Jiao Shun couldn't help laughing out loud, got up and put his arms around Shi Xiangyun, jokingly said, "It's good to practice it first, next year we have another one and we will have experience."

"Bah~"

Shi Xiangyun spat, but he didn't get away from Jiao Shun's arms, his oval face was flushed, and his eyes were not without hope.

At this time, Xing Xiuyan and Heping'er, who were all sweaty, also walked towards this side.

Jiao Shun took advantage of the opportunity to look at the 'court', seeing that even the nets had been put away, he couldn't help wondering: "Why don't you play anymore, it's still early before dark."

Ping'er smiled and said: "It was my idea. When I saw the Muni Temple on the way earlier, I suddenly remembered that I used to light the ever-burning lanterns in that temple with my second grandmother. I was so busy a while ago that I forgot, so I just Thinking about going to the temple on the way back, and supplementing some sesame oil money."

Xing Xiuyan also chimed in and said, "I also happened to want to see Miaoyu, so Sister Heping'er hit it off right away."

"Yeah!"

As soon as Shi Xiangyun heard that he was going to the Muni Academy, he immediately held Zhixia in approval and said, "Let's just light an ever-burning lamp for Xiao Zhixia!"

Since they all said to go, Jiao Shun had nothing to do, just glanced secretly at Ping'er, thinking that this was probably Wang Xifeng's idea - but since the two times were unhappy because of the Wang's family, it was true that he hadn't had a reunion with the second grandma for a while. Now that the affairs of the Wang family are settled, it might as well be downhill.

With this in mind, he gave an order, and everyone got into the carriage and turned back the same way.

When they arrived at the Muni courtyard near the west gate, Wang Xifeng was indeed waiting here early in the morning.

It's just that besides her, Fourth Miss Jia Xichun was also present.

Jiao Shun flinched and gave Wang Xifeng a questioning look, but Wang Xifeng could only return a wry smile, beating around the bush, saying that Jia Xichun had wanted to come to see Miaoyu, but she really couldn't shirk it.

In this way, it was difficult for the two of them to get along, so they could only secretly agree to meet here five days later.

Then, it was time to discuss the matter of lighting the ever-burning lamp for Zhixia.

During this period, Jia Xichun watched coldly, seeing that Miaoyu obviously lost her usual detachment in front of Jiao Shun, she shook her head secretly, feeling somewhat disillusioned.

He secretly thought in his heart, practicing in the world of mortals is indeed hard to escape the troubles of the world, but if he is only a novice monk in this temple, he shouldn't have to deal with these things, right?

These trivial matters are not discussed in detail.

But after discussing the matter of keeping the lantern alive, Jiao Shun's family went back to the city together with Wang Xifeng and Jia Xichun, and they didn't go their separate ways until they entered the inner city.

Jiao Shun was on the carriage, thinking about whether to take Ping'er to beat the side drums, or to get local materials and let Miaoyu push the pier—anyway, Wang Xifeng alone must not be able to enjoy himself to the full.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng's carriage frantically chased him up from behind.

Jiao Shun knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered the man to pull over and stop.

Seeing Rongguo Mansion's carriage sticking close to the front, Wang Xifeng poked his head out of the window regardless of decency, and said in a changed voice: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster, come back to Rongguo Mansion with me!"
