Song Yi

Chapter 298

Du Wenhao thought so, but he didn't point it out to Yu Ge'er. He felt that this woman was not simple. From the moment he met him, he felt that she was a woman with a story, but he was not Fu He, and he didn't even want fame and fortune. He is very satisfied with everything now, a place to stay, a home, three women who love him like life, and many friends, Du Wenhao feels that he is not a greedy person, he would rather live his life like this .

"Then is Concubine Liu Gui really pregnant?" Du Wenhao asked knowingly.

Yu Ge'er smiled, and simply pushed the fruit plate in front of Du Wenhao: "You don't need to worry about this, I just need you to say that she is not pregnant at all when Concubine Liu Gui seeks you for medical treatment."

"You hate her?" Du Wenhao said bluntly, he didn't want Yu Ge'er to go too far, and then there would be no chance to turn back.

"Yes, I hate her." Yu Ge'er was not a person who beat around the bush.

Yu Ge'er was so frank, but Du Wenhao felt that she was not a scheming person, but just wanted to take revenge, because Liu Guifei laughed at her that day as an actress.

"I guess what the empress is going to do, but can the person you entrust trust?"

Yu Ge'er smiled slightly, but there was a murderous intent hidden in the smile: "I heard that before I came, there was a beauty Chen in the harem, who was thrown into the cold palace because of a fight for favor. The result was very miserable. First she went crazy and then died, right?"

"Your Majesty is doing things, I dare not ask too much, I just hope that your Majesty will not be too fussy, after all, she is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood." Du Wenhao wanted to say again, the emperor does not spoil you so much, do you have the heart to be sad, but he didn't Said that he felt that he was already a little outspoken.

Yu Geer signaled Du Wenhao to eat cherries, took one in his own mouth, then gently spit out the kernel and put it on the palm of his hand, and said to Du Wenhao: "Brother Du, everyone says that cherries are delicious and hard to grow, yes ?"

Du Wenhao was noncommittal.

"It's the same with people, looking at the concubines who are all dressed up all day long, who are you showing them to? It's nothing more than showing it to a man, but this man has only one pair of eyes. He also wants to see his own country. Such a beauty He can't see that there is only one queen, and the others will be forgotten by him at any time, and some of them may only see the emperor once in their whole life and never see each other again. What do you think is the meaning of such a life?"

Du Wenhao didn't know what to say, she was a disgruntled woman, and a woman ready to move, but she didn't know that even if she was smart, she might not be able to keep a man's heart, let alone the emperor, Even an ordinary man would not spend his whole life on only one woman.

"Isn't your empress doing well now?" Du Wenhao's words seemed a little pale, without any convincing force.

"I think I can do better. I must conceive the emperor's child before Concubine Liu Gui." Yu Ge'er said fiercely.

"Thank you for your trust, Madam, I'm afraid that I will be unable to do what I want."

Yu Ge'er stopped smiling, and she looked at Du Wenhao with cold but firm eyes: "I won't let you be the second Fu He, because I won't be as stupid as Chen Meiren, I won't be alone, I'll even Let the queen be willing to give up this position to me."

What a familiar voice, Du Wenhao remembered that Chen Meiren once said the same thing to herself when she was confessing. Back then, Chen Meiren was also full of confidence, thinking that if she won the emperor, she would win the whole world. She hopes that three thousand loves will be in one body, she hopes too much, and in the end there is nothing, only the lonely shadow of the green lantern, hanging together.

"Then give me time to think about it." Du Wenhao didn't want to annoy this woman who was eager for success. This woman was indeed not Chen Meiren. Can you hide your wolf ambition?
Yu Ge'er sighed softly, at this time Xiao Qi came over with a bamboo basket and put it on the stone table, Yu Ge'er motioned her to go down, and then said to Du Wenhao: "It's something I gave to Qingdai sister, please Brother Du give it to me." She took it back, and some cherries for the three sisters to try out."

Du Wenhao hurriedly stood up to thank him.

Yu Ge'er personally sent Du Wenhao to the door, and said, "I'll give you three days to think about it, and I won't force you, because I know that you and Sister Qingdai are good people, and I won't force good people to do bad things. "

Du Wenhao carried the basket and bowed back, seeing Yu Ge'er entered the door, he turned and got into the sedan chair, but thought in his heart, Yu Ge'er, Yu Ge'er, you are as smart as you, you clearly know it's a bad thing Why bother?
After seeing off Du Wenhao, Yu Ge'er entered the door, saw Xiao Qi coming up to meet him and asked, "Your Majesty, what did Master Du say?"

"If he agrees, I will look down on him instead."

Xiao Qi was puzzled: "Isn't it safer for one less person to know about this matter?"

"I let him know on purpose. I just wanted to see if he would come to my rescue when I was in danger." Yu Geer's voice was a little disappointed.

Xiao Qi helped Yu Ge'er up to the gazebo, seeing Yu Ge'er's lonely face, he comforted him softly: "Master Du is a good man, he will definitely..."

Yu Ge'er interrupted Xiao Qi and said, "What is a good person?"

Xiao Qi was speechless, looking at his master pitifully, a little at a loss.

"I just don't think he's a person who is ungrateful for profit. Xiao Qi, you have to remember that there are no absolutely good or bad people in this world."

"Your Majesty, the slaves you are talking about don't understand."

Yu Ge'er smiled lightly, took Xiao Qi's hand, and said: "You can leave the palace in five years. If you can, I will ask the emperor for a favor to let you go out and get married earlier."

Xiao Qi gratefully said to Yu Ge'er: "My lady, thank you."

Yu Ge'er's smile just now disappeared suddenly, she pinched Xiao Qi fiercely, Xiao Qi's brows were furrowed together in pain, and he let out an ouch.

"I treat you well, and you have to be loyal to me, otherwise I will make you very sad."

Although Xiao Qi said that Yu Ge'er was three years older than Yu Ge'er, since she was transferred from Concubine Zhu De's palace to serve as Yu Ge'er's personal maid, from the bottom of her heart she was a little afraid of this empress who laughed in front of her and was cold in the back.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiao Qi doesn't dare."

"It's fine if you don't dare, stay with me, put your courage in my stomach, rot in my stomach, I only want your heart, your loyalty, do you understand?"

"Your servant understands." A gust of wind blew, and Xiao Qi couldn't help shivering, feeling his heart was chilled by the gust of wind.

When Du Wenhao returned home, he handed the bamboo basket to Lin Qingdai and shut him up in the study alone. He didn't come out until Xue Feier called him at the door of the study during dinner.

As soon as she went out, she smelled the scent of rose cake, and saw that Xue Fei'er was eating one with a little cake crumbs on the corner of her mouth.

"I don't know what to eat, I don't know what to get for me, the little guy who eats alone." Du Wenhao lowered his head and took a bite of Xue Fei'er's pastry.

"Hohohohoho, sister Qingdai knows the Empress Yu who is next to the emperor. The rose honey she gave is more fragrant than what we bought in the market. Sister Qingdai left some for sister Qin, saying it is for nourishing the body. Besides, everything else has been made into rose scented cake." Xue Fei'er giggled, seeing that there was only a small half of the pastry in her hand, she quickly put it all in her mouth, and looked at Du Wenhao proudly.

Sure enough, it was full of fragrance, Du Wenhao felt a little hungry, so he led Xue Fei'er to the dining room.

Apart from the rose cake, there were several delicious dishes on the table. Pang Yuqin and Lin Qingdai were already sitting in their seats waiting for them.

"Sir, what are you busy with? You haven't been seen all afternoon." Pang Yuqin smiled and got up to give up her seat to Du Wenhao.

After Du Wenhao sat down, the three women sat down.Du Wenhao saw a plate of fresh cherries in front of him, needless to say, they should be the ones that Yu Ge'er asked Xiao Qi to put in the bamboo basket.

"Reading, sleeping." Du Wenhao said briefly.

Lin Qingdai looked at Du Wenhao's listless look, then smiled and said, "Okay, everyone is hungry, let's eat first."

Xue Fei'er suddenly suggested drinking, and Du Wenhao was in a bad mood, so he agreed.

Pang Yuqin also saw that Du Wenhao was in a bad mood, so she didn't ask any more questions. The four of them hadn't eaten anything yet, and a jar of wine had almost bottomed out.

Xue Fei'er's face was flushed as soon as she drank, and her neck seemed to be red. Regardless of whether Pang Yuqin and Lin Qingdai were sitting together, she rested her head on Du Wenhao's shoulder, her eyes were slightly closed, and the red bayberry wine was mixed with the fragrance of roses. The smell of cake, Du Wenhao smelled a little drunk and everyone was drunk.

"This wine is... delicious!" Xue Fei'er took the wine glass and poured it into her own mouth, and accidentally spilled some on Du Wenhao's body without helping to wipe it off. It seemed that she was really a little drunk.

Lin Qingdai jokingly said: "You are the one who asked for wine, but you were the first to get drunk, so there is no shame."

"Fei'er, be good, eat something and don't drink any more. Your drinking capacity is not good." Pang Yuqin took Xue Fei'er's cup away distressedly, and said in a commanding tone.

After hearing this, Xue Fei'er sat up straight, smiled foolishly at Pang Yuqin, stood up, staggered and almost fell, Pang Yuqin hurriedly supported her.

"Let the maid take Fei'er back to the room, I think she is drunk." Du Wenhao said.

"No, I'm a little drunk anyway, I'll go back with Fei'er, and let Qingdai sit with you." Pang Yuqin said, helping Xue Fei'er out the door.

"Qin'er, don't sleep yet, I'll come over later." Du Wenhao remembered what Lin Qingdai said, so he said to Pang Yuqin.

After hearing this, Pang Yuqin stopped for a while, but didn't look back, and helped Xue Fei'er to leave without saying anything.

Lin Qingdai went to Du Wenhao's side, filled his glass with wine, then looked at his glass, and said in a low voice, "It's Yu Ge'er who made you feel bad?"

Du Wenhao looked at Lin Qingdai, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, took a bite of the vegetables, and then nodded.

Lin Qingdai smiled, and said: "If you think it's difficult to talk to her, you might as well make an appointment with her for me, sometimes it's easier to talk to women."

"Do you know what to say?" Du Wenhao asked back.

Lin Qingdai shook her head, Du Wenhao: "Then what are you talking to her about?"

Lin Qingdai filled Du Wenhao's glass again, this time she raised the glass and said, "How would I know if you don't tell me, come on, have a drink." After speaking, she touched the glass in Du Wenhao's hand and finished it herself first .

Du Wenhao smiled. Among the three women, Pang Yuqin is virtuous and gentle, Xue Feier is lively and lovely, but they can only be lovers and cannot be confidantes. As the saying goes, one confidant is enough in life, but in Du Wenhao's view, Lin Qingdai, who is always icy in front of others, just happens to know her own heart best. Is this the legendary confidant?

"Wen Hao, what are you laughing at?" Lin Qingdai put down her wine glass and saw Du Wenhao looking at her smiling.

Du Wenhao shook her hand, she quickly turned her head and saw two maidservants approaching from the opposite side, she hurriedly shook them off and whispered: "There are people!"

Du Wenhao knew that Lin Qingdai was very taboo about being stabbed in the back, so he stopped forcing it. After the two maids passed by, Du Wenhao said: "Hurry up, soon you can be in front of the servants." I hold your hand."

Lin Qingdai glanced shyly, and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Du Wenhao also became serious, sat upright, looked at Lin Qingdai and said, "It's my business to marry you."

A touch of emotion flashed in Lin Qingdai's eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently a few times, pretending to be angry: "If you don't say anything, I will leave, and you will go to Qin'er later Well, I'm not going to accompany you here to talk poorly and make people laugh."

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm worried that you won't be able to help me if I say it." Du Wenhao said.

Lin Qingdai got up after hearing this, and said calmly: "Well, I won't accompany you anymore." After speaking, she was about to go out.

Du Wenhao naturally knew Lin Qingdai's character, so he quickly stopped: "Okay, come back, I'll just tell you."

Only then did Lin Qingdai smile, and walked up to Du Wenhao and sat down: "Let's talk."

Du Wenhao then told Lin Qingdai in detail about going to Yu Ge'er in the morning.

"Wen Hao, this matter is really tricky." After Lin Qingdai heard this, she couldn't be optimistic anymore.

"It's very tricky, but Yu Ge'er only gave me three days to think about it."

"what's your plan?"

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"Then let me talk to her first, but let's not talk about this, just talk about the family's shortcoming."

Du Wenhao smiled, gently scratched Lin Qingdai's little nose, and praised: "I know you know my heart, but don't let her see the clue."

"Don't worry, I happened to make some rose cakes, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, is that the best reason?"

"My Qingdai is still amazing!"

"But Wen Hao, I think we should prepare with both hands." Lin Qingdai was still worried.

"I know what you mean. I don't think we can go to Concubine Liu Gui's place first, which would seem rather strange. Judging from the current harem, Concubine Liu Gui should come to invite me before Yu Ge'er finds me."

"That's good."

"Okay, let's split up then."

Lingyin Temple.

This is what Yu Ge'er said. In her words, offering incense is the best reason to leave the palace.She also went to make an appointment with the queen, but she knew she would not go, because she planted an eyeliner in the queen's palace. It was a fellow of hers. There are not many fellows from Jiangnan in Luoyang city, but it happened to be the one next to the queen. A close eunuch is from Jiangnan, so she quickly recognized him and gave him benefits from time to time. After a long time, the eunuch naturally became Yu Ge'er's confidant. With little effort, it is easy to earn under one's own door.

She had heard from the eunuch before that the emperor would go to the queen's place in the next two days, so the queen waited with peace of mind and concentration. It was time for Yu Ge'er to go unless the king of heaven couldn't tell her to leave. Of course, the queen I can't go, I can't stop Yu Ge'er from going, if she is in his palace, let the emperor see her, and then ignore him, so the emperor hurriedly let her go, and asked her to help him donate to the temple I paid 200 taels of incense money.

Lin Qingdai was sitting in the meditation room in the backyard of Lingyin Temple, which was dedicated to entertaining guests. Du Wenhao had a good relationship with the host of Lingyin Temple, so naturally the host would not treat the people around Du Wenhao badly.

It was already afternoon, and the sun reflected on the monastery among the green trees, the apricot-yellow courtyard walls, the blue-gray temple ridges, and the pale-green towering ancient trees, all bathed in rose red.

A young novice walked to the door with his hands together, and saw Lin Qingdai sitting in front of the window with her eyes closed and twisting pearls, muttering something, a sutra book was placed on the table, and the smell of sandalwood wafted from the incense burner.He only said softly: "Female benefactor, Your Majesty has arrived at the gate."

Lin Qingdai opened her eyes, moved the corner of her mouth slightly, hummed, and the little novice retreated.

Lin Qingdai hurried forward to salute Lin Qingdai, Yu Ge'er smiled and quickly helped Lin Qingdai up, giggled twice, took Lin Qingdai's arm affectionately, and said: "I know that my sister will definitely miss me , so they came without stopping.”

Lin Qingdai thought, this Lingyin Temple is the closest temple to the capital, even if you walk slowly all the way out of the palace, you should have arrived by now, you must have the airs of your mother in your non-stop, so you let yourself wait until now.

"Mistress, I wanted to give things to your palace, but I was really afraid of entering the palace, so..." Lin Qingdai explained.

"Come out, I just want to go out for a walk, I'm about to get sick in the palace." Yu Ge'er happily took Lin Qingdai's hand and didn't enter the meditation room, but called the little novice just now and ordered : "Sister Qingdai and I want to go up the mountain for a walk, you guys prepare some delicious vegetarian dishes for us, we will go down the mountain and have a meal before leaving."

"You don't have to follow, we'll be down in a while." Yu Ge'er turned around and said to the guards behind her, and then pulled Lin Qingdai up the mountain.

A zigzag path leads to the secluded back mountain, and there is also a meditation room covered by flowers and trees in the middle.The mountains are bright and clean, the birds sing joyfully, and the reflection in the deep pool makes people feel ethereal.Everything was silent, only the echo of the long chime was heard.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, why do you seem to have lost some weight?" Yu Ge'er looked at Lin Qingdai and said with concern.

"Is there?" Lin Qingdai touched her face and asked back.

Yu Geer smiled, and the two of them walked halfway up the mountain and saw a gazebo. Seeing that Yu Geer was climbing a mountain, Lin Qingdai must have felt tired, so she suggested going to the gazebo to rest for a while before leaving.

"How is the empress in the palace? I see that you look very good."

"My sister will not have trouble with my parents today, will she?" Yu Ge'er gave Lin Qingdai a meaningful look, and then pulled her to sit down. This position happened to be able to see the main hall of Lingyin Temple.

Lin Qingdai was startled, it seemed that Yu Ge'er didn't notice it, Lin Qingdai smiled slightly, took out a brocade box from a small bag she had been carrying and handed it to Yu Ge'er, motioning her to open it.

Yu Ge'er took it and opened it to see that there were four pieces of rose cake inside, with rose-red noodles and aniseed lace, like rose petals, and a rose flower was printed on the surface of the cake. It is delicate and fragrant.

"I made it with the rose nectar you gave me. Fortunately, you still remember that I like this kind of taste, so I made some fragrant cakes for you to try. I hope that the empress will not dislike it." Lin Qingdai naturally did not like it. I would say it myself first, so I found this prop and regarded it as a way to attract jade.

Yu Ge'er looked delighted, carefully picked up a piece, put it near his mouth, bit down a little bit, put it in his mouth and sipped slowly, couldn't help nodding, and then ate the whole piece.

"Well, it's really delicious, with the taste of our hometown." Yu Ge'er didn't continue to eat, but closed the brocade box and put it on the stone table.

"It's good if you like to eat it. After I cook it, I will ask Wen Hao to bring you some to eat in the palace. After all, it's always bad to let you out." Lin Qingdai deliberately mentioned Du Wenhao.

"How is Brother Du?" Yu Ge'er asked as expected.

Lin Qingdai smiled and said: "I went to a nearby county to buy medicinal materials the day before yesterday, and when I got home yesterday, Qin'er handed me the rose nectar and said that it was my mother who asked Wen Hao to bring it, but there was no sign of Wen Hao, I want to see you It's really hard for Qin'er to tell you the truth."

Yu Ge'er naturally didn't believe that Lin Qingdai and Du Wenhao hadn't met, but she didn't ask anything, but said: "I looked for Brother Du the day before yesterday, and I think he will give you this rose honey, so you must come back and look for it." Mine, because he didn't want to offend me or hurt me, so he pushed my sister out."

"What's wrong with you? Did Wen Hao offend you? No wonder I heard from Qin'er that Wen Hao returned home yesterday and gave her the rose nectar my mother gave me, and then went out alone to drink wine. I waited so late and couldn't wait. When I saw him, I told Qin'er that I wanted to see you, and asked him to tell the mother." Lin Qingdai's expression was very surprised, so that no one would think that she was pretending, and it seemed that even Yu Ge'er believed it up.
