Qingchuan History

Chapter 386 Chilling Cicada
It is necessary to express your heart, but also to speak out, and it is also related to the conclusion of the future.

No matter how it sounds, it means to open up the battle.

Ji Wanling and Ruan Xueyin didn't know what Shangguan concubine said earlier, it was always related to the dispute in the middle palace.But before Duan Xirun arrived, it was obvious that he had to hold back the situation.

There is no sound in the hall, but the sound of cicadas outside the hall is particularly distinct.

"It's only June," Shangguan Concubine said shallowly, "the cicadas are already singing."

There are four people in a room, and it is really embarrassing not to speak for a long time.In the past, Ji Wanling would speak up in such a situation to support the situation, but today she is extremely abnormal.

You can't wait for Gu Xinglang to pick it up.After thinking for a moment, Ruan Xueyin should:
"The cicadas will sing after the rainy season. The spring cicadas are probably around this time. The most common oil cicadas sing in the summer season in July and August. The cold cicadas only come out at the end of August and can sing until October."

"If this position in the middle palace is based on talent and learning," Shangguan concubine smiled, "we can't compare to Sister Pei." As if deliberately treating this sentence as a joke, she said it lightly and jumping, and quickly covered it with the following words ,

"I heard that there are cicadas singing in very cold years." She looked at Ruan Xueyin frankly and asked for advice.
"really?"

Ruan Xueyin also thought about it seriously for a moment, "I haven't read the relevant records. It stands to reason that even if the chilling cicada survives to the severe cold season, it won't sing. Otherwise, there is no way to keep silent like a chilling cicada."

"Silence is like a cold cicada." Shangguan concubine whispered softly, as if suddenly thinking of something, she didn't say much in the end.

And after such a time of chatting, Duan Xirun finally came.

She was dressed in light clothes, like a slightly inappropriate spring in the summer season, she was a little dazed, and gave a standard salute to Gu Xinglang after entering the hall.He greeted the other three people one after another and sat down, naturally beside Ruan Xueyin.

It was a regular position at palace banquets in the past, and she felt a little at ease.But it was the first time that such a situation was held in the Wan Lan Hall for a tea talk, and it was really unusual.

She opened her mouth slightly to ask, but found it difficult to speak, and was hesitating, Gu Xinglang opened her mouth:

"Today, my sister-in-law came to discuss the matter of the middle palace with me, and said that the current situation, most of the inner palace is worried and silent like cicadas,"

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes to the official concubine.

"My lord, my concubine—"

"Silence like a chilling cicada, you didn't say it just now, but it should be what it means?" Gu Xinglang smiled gently, "It's okay. I think it's very good. Instead of holding each other's apprehensions and not daring to express them, why don't you be open and honest? Solve it."

He cast his eyes away and looked at the four people in the room, "I know you are uncomfortable with the admonishment of the former court. To put it bluntly, this is a family matter. They talk about theirs. Close the door and let's talk about ours. Of course,"

The teacup was put back on the table casually, he straightened his cuffs,
"Say what you want to say, and what you don't want to say, no matter what the reason is, you don't have to say it."

What a burst strategy.Ruan Xueyin's heart twisted.Then what do you want to say?The dispute in the middle palace has nothing to do with her.But the last question starts with special pets.

Didn't she want her to express her opinion on the pet?

It's really overwhelming.She glanced at him quietly.

Very calm, very focused, sitting alone in Zhengbei, with a calm face, as if waiting for someone to speak.

"Come to express your feelings to the king today," Shangguan's concubine led the battle as scheduled, and she also stood up.

"Sit down and talk." Gu Xinglang smiled gently.

"Yes." Fu sat down and said emphatically, "The main reason why I came to express my feelings to you today is because there was a movement in the vestibule, Hussar General Chai Daren and other generals actually recommended ministers and concubines to sit in the middle palace at the court meeting. "

Even though the wind had been circling for quite some time, she still seemed to feel uneasy when she said this, and her words became much faster, she stood up again,

"The concubine is terrified. I really don't know why Master Chai would recommend the concubine. The concubine is willing to guarantee his life. Before that, he had no contact with Master Chai or any general in the court, and he had never even met face to face." She put her head on the blessing body,

"Your Majesty, please observe clearly."

"Why don't you talk about it." Gu Xinglang smiled unabated, and motioned her to sit down, "In the entire Qi State, from the court to the people, everyone speaks and decides what to do next. The rules of the Qi royal family, any issue, as long as it is paid attention to and cared about." , both courtiers and ordinary people can freely express their opinions.”

He leaned slightly and looked at the exquisite pastries on the three plates in front of him, as if he was choosing,

"One hundred people have one hundred ideas. Disagreement is normal, and only complete agreement is a problem. Mr. Chai advises you," Fu looked up to the official concubine,

"He has his own considerations." After a short pause, he added,

"What's more, you have your mother's family, and you also have your mother's country. If you have never made friends, it does not mean that others have never made friends."

"Your Majesty, check clearly." Shangguan got up for the third time, "Wei State and Da Qi have always been on good terms, and it is the etiquette of diplomatic relations not to ask about other countries' internal affairs, or to interfere in other countries' back courts. The ministers and concubines believe that both His Majesty Wei Jun and my father are This rule will not be exceeded.”

"That's not what I meant." Gu Xinglang smiled and shook his head, quite helplessly, "Auntie, if you let His Majesty Wei Jun or Shangguan Xiangguo hear about it, it will make it difficult for me to be a man."

"The concubine is terrified."

"Sit down." Gu Xinglang said gently, then raised his voice and asked Di Yan, "The refreshments for the ladies haven't come yet? It took so long to prepare?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Di Yan raised her head near the door, and hurried over after hearing the words, "According to Your Majesty's instructions, you have to prepare one by one according to your own preferences, and they have to be presented at the same time, which will inevitably take more time. "

So saying, bow left and right,
"Ladies and gentlemen, please drink tea first. The snacks will be delivered soon."

After some distraction, Shangguan Concubine's round is over.But the atmosphere in the hall was still a little serious due to the content of the conversation just now.

Ji Wanling remained expressionless as she took a sip of tea.

Ruan Xueyin was like a pool of deep water, with her hands resting on her knees, she had nothing to do with herself.

Duan Xirun was a little anxious. She looked at Ruan Xueyin several times to no avail. She wasn't sure if she should say it, but when Gu Xinglang looked over, her words were so gentle that they were gentle.
"Xirun, do you have anything to say?"

"Return to your lord," Duan Xirun also stood up, and said, "The concubine is in the backyard and knows very little. Hearing some rumors, he also feels panic. Why did Lord Ji recommend the concubine?" Speaking of this, he took a look at Ji Wan Ling,

"The concubine really doesn't know the reason. From the concubine's point of view, it's all about love and reason, and Mr. Xiangguo should admonish Sister Yu."

"Emotion, reason, everything." Gu Xinglang smiled, "What is emotion, what is reason, and what is everything?"

"Your Majesty." Duan Xirun was even more nervous, his hands were clasped and twisted into twists.

"I said it casually." Gu Xinglang smiled again, becoming more gentle, "Who can answer this kind of question. Anyway, I can't answer it."

If you can’t answer, you still ask nonsense.Ruan Xueyin was upset.The one who is most careless is Xirun, who asks her to say, although it is necessary——

Can't it be simpler?

So powerful, do you dare to use it on Ji Wanling?

"To tell the truth," Shangguan concubine hesitated to say, "Ji Xiang admonishes Run'er, and the concubine is also surprised. According to the concubine, in terms of status, Sister Yu is the most suitable. In terms of love, Sister Pei is also fine. Run'er and I, Most unlikely."

"Avow the virtuous to avoid relatives." Gu Xinglang smiled, "Ji Xiang is wise, and will not reprimand his daughter. As for Xueyin,"

Today he called everyone to use his name, so when it comes to Ruan Xueyin's place, he will naturally do the same.And I don't want others to hear the phrase "Xiaoxue"——

As soon as "Xue Yin" came out, his liver trembled a little.

Ruan Xueyin's liver was trembling too, it was awkward no matter how she heard it.

"She has been troubled by rumors lately, and the disputes are arising from those rumors." Gan'er trembled back to Gan'er trembled, but his words slipped away, and as he said this, he looked at the official concubine again,
"The most unlikely one is her."
