Queen's scheming

Chapter 254

Li Tianyou leaned in the sedan chair, touched his forehead with his hand, remembering the word "forbearance" just said by the Empress Dowager, his heart was full of depression, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

Koizumi peeked into the sedan chair secretly from under the bright yellow sedan curtain that was blown up by the wind, leaned up to Xiao Anzi, and asked in a low voice: "Master, why does the emperor come out of Cihui Palace today with such a face?" Hei, what did the empress dowager say to the emperor, it was the empress dowager who scolded the emperor, and asked the master to remind me, lest the apprentice lose the face of the master all of a sudden."

Xiao Anzi was serving in front of Li Tianyou just now, the queen mother spoke to Li Tianyou, but did not send him out, he knew what the emperor was doing, he just sighed, took the dust whisk in his hand, knocked Xiao Quanzi, and cursed in a low voice : "How did I teach you that when you are on an errand in front of the imperial court, you want to act like you are deaf and blind, yet you still dare to bother to inquire about it, so you're going to die?"

Koizumi shrank his head, not daring to make do with Xiao Anzi anymore, he just hid in the shadow of the sedan chair and thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and was still at the corner, sneaking a kick to the little father-in-law who was carrying the sedan chair in front of him. The people in the sedan chair have all been specially trained, and they didn't really fall down, they just staggered a bit.

Li Tianyou was thinking about what the Empress Dowager said in the sedan chair. What the Empress Dowager meant was that it was not good for him to confront Gu Yiran in this way. , how could Li Tianyou accept that his woman, for himself, would contact a man with an evil heart next to him? Just thinking about it, Li Tianyou felt angry, just when he punched the sedan chair, The sedan chair tilted, and Li Tianyou's fist collided with the tilted pineapple tree. Li Tianyou's joints were immediately bruised!
Xiao Anzi reprimanded him outside, "Why do you take it as an errand?" Li Tianyou was so depressed that he raised the car curtain and looked at everyone coldly with an angry face.

Koizumi took a step forward, "Oh, Your Majesty, your hand is hurt, you need to apply some ointment quickly."

Xiao Anzi was reprimanding the little father-in-law who was carrying the sedan chair, but before he was allowed to come, Xiao Quanzi was already serving Li Tianyou, Xiao Anzi squinted his eyes to look at Xiao Quanzi, and then looked at the sedan chair stopped. Looking up at the place on the right hand side, there is an upright plaque with the inscription "Zhaoyang Palace".

Li Tianyou also saw it, and walked towards Zhaoyang Palace without saying a word, Xiao Anzi dismissed the little father-in-law, followed closely behind Li Tianyou, and went in.

Unexpectedly, in Zhaoyang Palace, there was no one serving outside the hall. Xiao Anzi followed Li Tianyou into the hall, only to see Tang Aoxue in a moon-white dress embroidered with a single red plum, kneeling with his back to the hall door, In front of it is a goddess of Guanyin made of suet white jade.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Aoxue just turned around slowly, greeted An in a hurry, and spotted Li Tianyou's injury at a glance, without shouting, she immediately ordered the little maid to fetch the medicine box.

Tang Aoxue stood in the pavilion, took the silver-red plum pattern small round lacquer plate handed over by the little maid, looked at Li Tianyou eagerly, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong will apply some wound medicine to the Emperor. The pain is getting worse, and it will not be good if it delays the emperor from reading the scriptures tomorrow."

Li Tianyou was angry at first, but when he saw the sedan chair parked at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, he thought that Tang Aoxue had planned all of this, so he came in angrily, intending to incriminate him, but he didn't expect that there was a door open in Zhaoyang Palace Dasuo, without the servants of the palace, even the palace lanterns were not lit. After entering the palace, seeing Tang Aoxue not wearing makeup, I felt that I was a little overwhelmed. If Tang Aoxue had planned all this, at least she should I have made enough preparations to see myself, and now that I look like this, it is clear that I am going to bed.

Coupled with the surprise on Tang Aoxue's face after Li Tianyou entered the palace, she gently stroked her own face, clearly thinking that she had already removed her makeup, but after seeing the injury on her hand, she became scrupled Not so much, hurriedly ordering people to go to the ointment, such an anxious look, in Li Tianyou's eyes, seemed a bit like a little girl, think about it, I haven't set foot in Zhaoyang Palace for nearly two years, In the past two years, Tang Aoxue's stature has grown a bit, and it seems that she has lost a lot of weight. The hand holding the lacquer plate is abnormally white.

The gloomy look on Li Tianyou's face dissipated quite a bit. Following Tang Aoxue's gesture, he sat down in front of the little table beside him. Tang Aoxue leaned forward, placed the lacquer plate on the small table, and used his fingers to gouge some Ointment, pursed his lips, gently held Li Tianyou's palm, rubbed his fingertips, and asked softly: "Does this... hurt?"

Li Tianyou shook his head, looked around, and opened his mouth and said, "The Zhaoyang Palace seems to be too clean and simple, but the people from the House of Internal Affairs have treated you harshly in the past two years?"

Tang Aoxue's subordinates kept rubbing Li Tianyou's joints gently, and said in a low voice: "No, the empress came over a few days ago and rewarded him with a lot of decorations, but the concubine feels that the concubine did not serve the emperor, and did not help Empress, there is no hard work at all. If the palace is too extravagant, it is a waste of money, so people pick up those things and lock them in the warehouse, and give some of them to the favored sisters in the palace, or in the future. It’s also good to add makeup to the little princess.”

Li Tianyou was amused by Tang Aoxue's words, and said, "Qing Rong is only a few months old, but you think in the long run."

Tang Aoxue didn't raise her head, and said with a hint of loneliness in her voice: "The life in the palace, you can live it as soon as you want, day after day, there will always be such a thing, if you don't save some now, the concubine is afraid that there will be no more in the future." Give good things to the princes and princesses, but it would be bad to lose face to the emperor and empress!"

Li Tianyou probably knew what Tang Aoxue meant, if he no longer pampered her, even if she was the lord of the first palace, she would not be able to stand out just by relying on those honors.

Li Tianyou didn't agree with this, and only asked another question: "Why are there so few servants in your palace?"

Tang Aoxue gently raised her head, looked at Li Tianyou as if grateful, and said with a trembling voice: "The emperor's power of observation is truly incomparable. In the past, there were many people serving the concubine, but because it was not good for her to serve the empress dowager, The Empress then dispersed all those people, and the concubine lived alone in the palace. She did everything by herself, and thought that the concubine would not be able to support herself, but after nearly a year of hard work, the concubine was also used to it. Now, even though all the palace servants have been sent back, the concubines don't want them to serve them closely any more, so when it was getting dark, they were let to rest. Don't persuade the concubines to serve them for a day. It is tiring to stand at the gate of the palace for a whole day. Although they are slaves, they still have relatives. If their parents and brothers know that they have suffered such crimes in the palace, they will feel extremely sad Yes, push yourself and others, why should concubines embarrass them."

Li Tianyou frowned slightly, and asked, "I hear what you mean, are you blaming the queen?"

Li Tianyou knew that Tang Aoxue had been wronged for the past two years. When she saw herself, she would definitely not speak well of Shen Qingyi. There are sages and sages who say that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Tang Aoxue did this, clearly accusing her Shen Qingyi, she thought that Tang Aoxue was a lot more sensible just now, but she was here waiting to sue.

Tang Aoxue shook her head again and again, with tears in her eyes, she swore to heaven: "No concubine, concubine thinks the empress is right to punish her, if she hadn't experienced this punishment, how could concubine, a young lady who has lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, understand them Being slaves is not easy, that's why I feel sorry for them and let them rest. The concubine not only doesn't blame the empress, but is also very grateful. Just now, the concubine is praying for the empress, and hopes that the empress will be blessed by the Guanyin empress as soon as possible. Conceive a dragon heir earlier, and continue the bloodline for the emperor!"

Seeing Tang Aoxue like this, Li Tianyou felt soft in his heart, and said in a gentle voice: "The empress has accepted your kindness earlier, and the empress has already taken all the thousand volumes of Buddhist scriptures you copied to Huangjue Temple and burned them. Don't have to work so hard!"

Tang Aoxue shook her head and said: "The concubine has committed a lot of crimes. She was dazzled by power and status before, and she only wanted to find out the empress's fault, and she even did not hesitate to poison the empress. Go, you need to bathe in incense every day, copy Buddhist scriptures, and pray in front of the Buddha to make your heart feel better."

Li Tianyou nodded, and said: "It's great for you to think like this. The queen has a straightforward temper, and sometimes her words are unavoidable, but she is a sharp-tongued man. As long as you change your ways wholeheartedly, the queen will not hold you back." Don't let go of the past."

Tang Aoxue's tears fell down, but she didn't dare to let Li Tianyou see her, she lowered her head even more, but there were too many tears, like beads with strings, it was difficult for Li Tianyou not to see, "This is What's the matter? Why are you crying so well?"

Tang Aoxue wiped her tears and said with a sob: "Previously, concubines were ignorant, concubine's elder sister taught concubines to be kind to others since childhood, to think of people and things for good, and to treat others kindly, and they will naturally get corresponding blessings. After the concubine entered the palace, she didn't remember her sister's teachings. She grabbed the tip every day and caused a lot of trouble for the empress. The concubine was a year older than the empress. The concubine is really ashamed!"

"Your sister is good." Li Tianyou took Tang Aoxue's hand and gently comforted her.Thinking of the former empress Tang Litong, Li Tianyou felt a little guilty. At that time, he was young and didn't understand that the former empress really helped him a lot. When he was messing around, he repeatedly advised him, but he was very bored. Tang Li Tong was determined to be a virtuous queen, but she didn't cherish it herself, so she died of dystocia at a young age...

　Counting from this chapter, there are about eight chapters. It is Li Tianyou's soft-heartedness towards Tang Aoxue. Some readers think that Li Tianyou should not be moved by Tang Aoxue, which is unreasonable. Zimeng thinks that men will have moments when their minds are not clear. He is a perfect person. A cold and arrogant woman suddenly bows his head in front of him. There will be some small ripples in his heart. If you think Zimeng's setting is unreasonable, you can skip these eight chapters...
