Queen's scheming

Chapter 163 Palace Banquet ([-])

"I will go over to have a look at the emperor first, the Imperial Concubine Duan Jing at the palace banquet can hold it!" Shen Qingyi said a little worried.

During today's palace banquet, Tang Aoxue was frustrated and rushed to take care of Li Tianyou, she must have taken the opportunity to serve her bed and make up for her face.

Tang Zihan paused slightly and said, "Well, Concubine Xue brought the emperor to Zhaoyang Palace."

"Zhaoyang Palace?" Shen Qingyi became more and more annoyed, "If you don't go back to Qiankun Palace, you actually took it to Zhaoyang Palace? Didn't you say that the emperor was drunk? The weather is so cold, so you don't have to worry about the emperor getting drunk. Is it cold?"

Tang Zihan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, Shen Qingyi looked jealous, she was really cute, and said respectfully: "Returning to the empress's words, logically, Ningsu Palace is the closest to the palace banquet, but you are not at the banquet, Duanjing Huangguifei Unable to move away, Concubine Xue simply brought the emperor back to her palace."

Shen Qingyi took a deep breath, and didn't say anything in front of Tang Zihan. After all, Tang Aoxue was Tang Zihan's younger sister, and if she competed with his younger sister for favor, Tang Zihan would not favor her.

Looking at Shen Qingyi who was walking in a hurry, Tang Zihan said with a little amusement: "The Empress is pregnant, it's better not to be so reckless."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his chin again, and muttered in a low voice: "Since the emperor is not allowed to go to other people's palaces, why pretend to be virtuous? Baba invites people into the palace. Could it be said that all the 72 concubines of the Sangong and Six Courts are brought here?" Is it for display?"

Shen Qingyi listened to this seriously, turned around and glared at Tang Zihan, Tang Zihan pretended not to say anything, raised his head to the night sky and said: "Hey, the moonlight is beautiful today, do you want to give it to the empress?" moon?"

Yu Lian had a good impression of Tang Zihan, but now that he was Concubine Xue's elder brother, she said angrily, "Did General Tang do it on purpose? Anyway, can Young General Tang take care of it? Or is it that Young General Tang wants my mother to be sick so as to create opportunities for Concubine Xue? The slave also told the young general that the emperor loves the empress most, if the empress is sick , Your Majesty never leaves your body!"

Tang Zihan spread his hands, and said: "This humble minister just wants to imitate the prince of sincerity and be arty, but it will attract Miss Yu Lian's rebuke. Let's just pretend that this humble minister didn't say anything!"

Yu Lian gave Tang Zihan a gouged look, thinking he was a good person in vain, hmph, sending away a melancholy King Cheng, another smiling tiger came, there is no good person!
Shen Qingyi didn't have the heart to laugh at this time, her heart was very blocked, Li Tianyou, this bastard, it was only a few days after finding out that she was pregnant, but these days, in order to keep the dragon heir safe, he let him sleep alone for a few days, and then he drank After a few glasses of wine, he can't bear it anymore. Can he get so drunk that he loses consciousness?Can't even tell the difference between Qiankun Palace and Zhaoyang Palace?
Tang Zihan looked at Shen Qingyi's flustered look, and was about to break the stove in his hand, pretending to be absent-minded, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the emperor is so drunk because of Concubine Xue's exquisite makeup, alas, I think Can't do anything!"

Shen Qingyi pretended not to understand Tang Zihan's implication, and her steps gradually returned to normal speed.

On the second day, in the condensin palace.

With a bang, a bronze three-legged lotus tripod was blown to the ground, and a shallow layer of ashes inside fell to the ground, forming a cloud.

Yuhe waved her hand and dismissed the little maid who was going to clean up.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Maybe Zhaoyang Palace deliberately said those words to make you angry. The Emperor was drunk like that yesterday. Even if Concubine Xue wanted to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony with the Emperor, the Emperor would not be able to do so. You are pregnant now, it's not good to be angry." Yu He persuaded.

Shen Qingyi calmed down a bit, and felt that what Yu He said was reasonable, but she was still a little worried and said, "No matter how courageous Zhaoyang Palace is, it would not dare to falsely pass on the imperial decree. If there was nothing wrong last night, why did the emperor spare the snow?" My concubine's greetings today, let a little maid come to the Ningsu Palace of my palace to show off her might!"

Yu He handed Shen Qingyi a cup of warm plum juice, cleaned up the ashes of the incense burner on the blanket and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Yu Lian has already gone to Zhaoyang Palace to inquire, and you will know the result in a while. In fact, I want the servant to say, The emperor loves the empress so much, you should believe that the emperor is."

Shen Qingyi was right when she thought about it, did she distrust Li Tianyou too much? He has been restless many times, so it shouldn't be the case. Besides, he is the emperor, and he should favor the concubines next to him. What's wrong with him? Is it so disturbing to be pregnant?
"Hey, when did you return to the palace? Why didn't you enter the palace to answer the question? Your empress is waiting for you!" Yuhe was passing the incense burner ashes to the maids outside the palace when she saw Yulian standing outside the palace gate.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips, glanced at Yulian, but was embarrassed to open her mouth to ask, and only waited for Yulian to answer.

Yulian dawdled in front of Shen Qingyi in some embarrassment, and said timidly: "Your Majesty, the servant is back!"

Shen Qingyi looked up at her with questioning eyes, Yu Lian stood there, silent.

Shen Qingyi raised her eyebrows lightly, widened her phoenix eyes, and said angrily: "He really doted on Concubine Xue, didn't he, and made Concubine Xue too tired to get out of bed, right?"

Yu Lian lowered her head and stomped her feet, but dared not answer.

Yu He poked her behind Yu Lian and said: "What's going on, you should say something!" Yu He really didn't believe that Li Tianyou would do such a thing, if it was normal, it would be fine, but now Shen Qingyi was pregnant, and her mood was very sensitive, the imperial doctor even told her to be careful in everything, Li Tianyou would never make Shen Qingyi unhappy at this time!
Yu Lian hesitated for a long while, then squeezed out a sentence between her teeth, and said, "Zhaoyang Palace has prepared water twice at night!"

Shen Qingyi was completely angry this time, she stood up and said, "Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor now, take me to see him!"

Yu Lian hurriedly stopped her and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Emperor is not in the palace at the moment. Xiao Anzi said that the Emperor will leave the palace in low clothes as soon as he comes to court. He said that he is going to seek the peace talisman that Prince Cheng said."

"Who wants that troublesome child!" Shen Qingyi picked up the black fox cloak at the side, and was about to put it on her body, with the appearance of provoking a teacher to ask a crime.

Yu He also quickly persuaded from the side: "My maidservant inquired with the mother of the Cihui Palace yesterday, and said that the reason why the Queen Mother's safety talisman is effective is because Prince Cheng walked up a hundred steps with sincerity. I'm afraid it's also because of this that I went out of the palace in micro clothes!"

"What's the matter? Bengong gave birth to an imperial heir for him, and he still sneaked in to ask for a peace talisman for me? Is this palace still shameful?" Shen Qingyi was about to cry as she spoke.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Yuhe's forehead was sweating anxiously, "Isn't that the Emperor? If you let those ministers know that the Emperor kneeled on the stone steps for you, you will definitely be played by those courtiers. For your consideration, you just look at the sincerity of the emperor, and give the emperor a chance, the stone steps are hard, and it will definitely be red and swollen when you come back today."

"Yes, yes, empress, the emperor was drunk yesterday, so drunk that he passed out, otherwise why would he follow Concubine Xue to Zhaoyang Palace? It's no wonder the emperor's sex is messed up after drinking. Don't look at Concubine Xue, she is usually cold and aloof, if she hadn't hooked up with the emperor and the emperor was so drunk, how could it have happened? Any mistakes are also Concubine Xue's fault, it has nothing to do with the emperor!" Yu Lian was also eager to side with Li Tianyou .

If this flat-headed commoner has some spare money, he still wants to marry a few concubines. It is normal for the head of the family to rest in the concubine's room for a few nights, let alone Li Tianyou is the emperor. It's not easy to be able to spoil Shen Qingyi alone for so long.This is nothing wrong with my own wife, in the past Li Tianyou would go to live in the Palace of Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Concubine Xue for a few nights every month, and Shen Qingyi had never been so excited before.

The more Shen Qingyi thought about it, the more angry she became. She was pregnant, and in order to avoid damage to the emperor's heir, she couldn't have a physical relationship with Li Tianyou. It only took a few days, and Li Tianyou couldn't help it anymore. It turned out that the sweet words he said earlier It's all fake, and if she can't recover her figure after giving birth, and she has a big belly like Shen Ye's and Fu Guogong's concubine, then Li Tianyou will ignore her even more.

On the one hand, Shen Qingyi was angry that Li Tianyou favored Tang Aoxue at this time, and on the other hand felt sorry for Li Tianyou kneeling on that cold stone step in winter. Ho was frightened.

The two were so anxious that they were at a loss, but Yu He thought: "Empress, you can't cry at this time. Princess Yuexuan handed over the sign and came in. I'm afraid I'm talking to the Empress Dowager in the Cihui Palace right now. After a while, I came to Lengsu Palace. Your eyes are swollen like peach pits. You can’t tell Princess Yuexuan! You can’t stop Princess Yuexuan from going back. In this weather, there are still small snowflakes outside. Son, it is not easy for Princess Yuexuan to enter the palace."

Only then did Shen Qingyi hold back her tears, and glanced at the water chestnut bronze mirror. Seeing that her eyes were swollen, she was even more annoyed. It was all Li Tianyou's fault. If it wasn't for her, why would she be here, "Yuhe, you Hurry up and help me cover it up with makeup!"

After arranging Shen Qingyi, Yu Lian pulled Yu He aside, and whispered: "What's wrong with our mother, why are you acting like a child? Isn't it poisoned?"

Yu He frowned, and said: "The imperial physician said that when a person is pregnant, her mood will fluctuate easily, and it is not easy to control it. I think it is like this! Poisoning is not a problem, and the imperial physicians take turns to watch every day. Let's go!"

Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Shen Qingyi who was reading a book, and said, "I have to go to Zhaoyang Palace secretly at night, if the empress asks, you can block it for me. There must be something wrong with Zhaoyang Palace, there is no reason Concubine Xue just met people from Zhen Guogong’s mansion yesterday, and the emperor is so bewildered, I have to search, maybe I can find something.”

"You mean, Concubine Xue used medicine?" Yu He frowned.

Yu Lian nodded and said, "Aside from that thing, what else could make the Emperor lose control and ask for water twice in one night!"
