Queen's scheming

Chapter 219
In the study of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Gu Yiran flipped through the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs page by page.

"On the sixth day of February, two dendrobiums of South China Sea and East Pearl were given to Ningsu Palace, on the seventh day of February, a jade flower-and-bird screen was given to Ningsu Palace, and on the eighth day of February, a pair of gold and jade tent hooks were given to Ningsu Palace."

According to the records of the Imperial Dining Room, "On the sixth day of February, the emperor had morning and evening meals in the Ningsu Palace. For breakfast, Suhang Xiaolongbao, japonica rice porridge, four dishes of various side dishes, and for dinner, millet pumpkin porridge, black chicken soup, and young cabbage with tender core. . "

Records of the respect room: "Ningsu Palace is located on the sixth day of February, the Ningsu Palace is located on the seventh day of February, and the Ningsu Palace is located on the eighth day of the month."

Gu Yiran suddenly rubbed the parchment in his hand a few times, and threw it on the red sandalwood table angrily. He thought that Tang Zihan and Baicao Xiaosheng's intervention would finally make Shen Qingyi and Li Tianyou estranged, as long as Shen Qingyi's child was conceived , Shen Qingyi would be disheartened, but unexpectedly, things backfired.

Li Tianyou pretended to be concerned and approached Shen Qingyi again. It was Li Tianyou's order to drop Shen Qingyi's child, so why did Shen Qingyi still smile at him!

As long as Gu Yiran thinks of how Shen Qingyi and Li Tianyou whispered softly in the Cihui Palace today, his heart feels like being rolled by a prickly prickly pear ball, and it hurts everywhere!

Gu Yiran's fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his dark eyes burst out with a little cold light. He unfolded the records on the record one by one, and caressed the wrinkled lines one by one. The three words slid over, and immediately threw it into the brazier beside it.

"My lord, Hui'er who is next to the concubine brought me a supper, do you see?" A servant asked outside through the Linghua partition.

The frost on Gu Yiran's face seemed to disintegrate in an instant, and he put on a warm smile, turned from the inner hall and said, "Go to the princess!"

Hearing this, the servant immediately followed behind. Last time, the prince and the concubine quarreled for some reason. They were the most harmonious and happy couple, but they never entered again. The concubine's courtyard is finally open today!
Princess Qinya panicked when she heard that Gu Yiran had come to her yard. He hadn't been here for a long time, and she had already given up hope, but she didn't expect him to come.

"Hurry up and change my concubine's clothes! Take that silver-red flowered one, no, no, no, or the moon-white one with blue peony flowers embroidered on it, the prince likes that concubine's dress!" Qinya said anxiously.

While changing his clothes, he said in a panic: "Is the tea ready? My lord likes to drink the can of pear mountain tea last time. You should go and boil it quickly. You need to make the water for the third time. Bring it boiling hot. My lord doesn't care." I like to drink warm."

The people serving in Princess Qinya's yard were also very happy, their faces were full of joy, and they hurriedly went to prepare.

Qinya looked at the person coming from a distance, under the melting moonlight, she was tall and tall, wearing a moon-white gown with dark patterns of water and clouds, a silver leather belt around her waist, and a jade-like crown, before the person approached, Then there was a faint medicinal fragrance.Just looking at it from a distance like this, as if looking at a timeless ink painting, the person in the painting walks towards her with the fragrance of ink.

"Although it's spring, it's still cold after all, why did you greet him outside in person!" Gu Yiran spoke with intimacy, but with just one word, Qinya almost shed tears.

She didn't know that love could make people so humble, she didn't even expect him to fall in love with her anymore, as long as he could come to her yard every day and sit in it would be enough!
The two entered the inner hall, and all the serving maids were sent out.

Gu Yiran gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Qinya's eyes with his hands, and said affectionately: "This king was negligent. I thought about it later. Is it my fault? Now the emperor and the empress have a deep love for the empress. That king Time is like a nightmare, if it wasn't for Wangfei, you awakened the dreamer with your words, I'm afraid I still can't figure it out!"

"My lord..." Qinya didn't expect Gu Yiran to treat her so tenderly, but she couldn't stop her tears.

Gu Yiran raised the corners of his lips slightly, gently pulled Qinya into his arms, and said in a harmonious voice: "In the future, the king will live a good life with you, the piano and the instrument are in harmony, how about raising the case?"

"However, Qinya is already an unclean body. It may not be a big deal in the Han Qi Dynasty, but in Dali, a concubine is such a woman..." Qin Ya thought it was not a big deal. In Han Qi, a woman who remarried More, but after that time, she realized that in Dali, it is extremely serious for a woman to lose her virginity, and no man would accept such a woman!
"Hush." ​​Gu Yiran put his index finger between Qinya's lips, smiled like the warm sun in May, and said, "I won't mention it in the future, and I won't mention this matter again!"

From then on, Gu Yiran still went to Qinya's yard every day, Qinya had never felt so happy.

But on this day, after Gu Yiran left, Qinya sat in front of the Eight Immortals table and remained silent for a long time.

"Princess? Are you okay!" Hui'er touched Qinya and said, "Princess, you have been sitting here for a long time."

Qinya tightly held the lotus teacup in her hand, trying to get some warmth from it, she murmured: "Hui'er, do you think the lord is sincere in treating this concubine?"

Hui'er was making the bed, pouted her head, and said with a smile: "Of course it's sincere, princess, you haven't seen the two side concubines, the prince only goes to the two side concubines every month when the princess is young. Concubine, all in all, it takes two days of work alone, they look forward to the lord, they are looking forward to it, don't look at the young lady of everyone, in fact, the kung fu of that charming person is first-class, not to say that today's After taking off the veil, even if you say you are unwell tomorrow, you always want the prince to take a second look, but the prince still comes to your yard unshakably, even if they want to intercept you, they will not be able to intercept you!"

After hearing these words, Qin Ya calmed down a little, smiled wryly and said: "My lord hopes that my concubine will persuade my father to send some tribute girls to the palace, why does this concubine always feel so uneasy?"

Huier was brought by Qin Ya from Han Qi, and said with a smile: "Princess, you must be thinking too much. The prince just made it clear that he just hopes that Han Qi and Dali will have a better relationship, so that the life of the prince and princess will be easier." Ah! If one day we Han Qi and Dali fight, how will the princess deal with herself? The prince is also making such a request for the good of the princess!"

Qinya suppressed her uneasiness, and she kept telling herself that Gu Yiran no longer had the current empress in her heart, and this time she chose a tribute girl to enter the palace, not for the sake of alienating the feelings of the empress, but only for Han Qi Consider the diplomatic relationship with Dali.

On the third day of March, the envoys of the Han Qi Dynasty went to Dali. Li Tianyou and Shen Qingyi received them at the same time. Shen Qingyi smiled and accepted the ten beauties sent by Han Qi!
"Qing Yi." Li Tianyou looked at Shen Qingyi and called out unconsciously.

Shen Qingyi was flipping through a herbal book given to her by the little poison, and gave a soft "hmm" as an answer.

For more than a month, Li Tianyou has been very careful with Shen Qingyi, for fear that if she doesn't pay attention, it will annoy her. Baicao Xiaosheng said that Shen Qingyi is now depressed, and a casual word may make her Furious.

Li Tianyou deliberated for a while, and finally opened his mouth. Han Qi's tribute girl was involved in the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if she handled it improperly, it would easily cause trouble. Moreover, Han Qi's sending the tribute girl to Dali this time was likely to be the intention of that person.

"The ten tribute girls, what are you going to do with them?" Li Tianyou tried his best to keep his tone calm.Completely ignoring the surprised eyes of Xiao Anzi beside him.

Xiao Anzi looked at his nose and his heart from the sidelines, his emperor's face-changing ability was not something ordinary people could learn, with his master's gentle appearance at the moment, who would believe it in Qiankun Palace!In the Qiankun Palace, it was a shameful face, but in the Ningsu Palace, the sun was shining instantly, it was really tight!

Shen Qingyi lightly raised her head, and a jadeite white magnolia flower hairpin lit up under the candlelight, her voice was as soft as glutinous rice balls, and said: "Ten people are all sealed as seventh-rank beauties."

Shen Qingyi thought for a while and said: "Well, ten of them are beauties, I'm afraid it's not easy to call them, so let's choose a title for each of them! Concubine Rong Chen thinks about it, the queen mother is still ill, the emperor accepts ten beauties at once, I'm afraid it's against filial piety, so let's do it! Just take the eight characters of 'Furu Donghai, Shoubi Nanshan', plus the word 'Auspicious', that's enough!"

Xiao Anzi frowned when he heard it, but he had been serving Li Tianyou for a long time, so he just felt that something was inappropriate, so he would not say it casually, but Zhang Yang joked from the side: "Empress, these ten beauties, It’s not easy for the emperor to remember, how many talents are there?”

Shen Qingyi spat and said: "Go, go, wait outside, why are you serving them here, will you spoil them when you are the emperor! Remember, there is no need to remember!"

Seeing that the waiters had all gone out, Li Tianyou stopped being tense, held Shen Qingyi in his arms, lightly pecked her on the tip of the nose and said, "How do you know that I won't favor them?"

Shen Qingyi gave him a blank look, threw the book in her hand onto the small table, and said: "The concubine is afraid that the emperor has that kind of heart and lacks the physical strength, and besides, there are no beauties in Dali, so I will use Han Qibaba to send it to you." Come here, it’s really not too far away! Even if the emperor dares to do something, the queen mother might not follow her, so isn’t the emperor afraid that there will be meticulous work in it?”

Li Tianyou held Shen Qingyi in his arms, smelled the faint scent of mint and orange on her body, and sighed: "You are becoming more and more intelligent now, and you even know the affairs of the court. As you said, I will not spoil them Yes, but in order to take Han Qi's face into consideration, it doesn't matter if you give them a slightly higher status!"

"It's not that the concubines are stingy, it's just that Song Guiren and Deng Liangyuan are also from the Marquis Mansion, and they can only enter the palace at the sixth rank. They start from the seventh rank, which is not considered low, otherwise Song Guiren is afraid that they will make trouble again."

"Are you still afraid of her making trouble? Haven't you already made a fuss?" Li Tianyou looked at Shen Qingyi playfully, even though he knew Shen Qingyi's methods of dealing with people, he didn't think Shen Qingyi was bad, but felt that Shen Qingyi was really good. It's very, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you hate it very much, there is no middle, ambiguous.

Shen Qingyi glanced at Li Tianyou, and said: "The emperor seldom inquires about matters between women, but do the empress dowager and the emperor have something to hide from my concubines?"

Li Tianyou thought for a while, and finally said: "I tell you this, you are prepared!"

The emperor and the empress talked for a long time until the red candle burned out.

　Cavan.
