Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 48
No wonder he was ambiguous and casual when dealing with his own poisoning and assassination. When a person faces emotional tests, there are very few people who are willing to face them.

It's just that he is willing to give a lot of love to a woman, but in that woman's heart, he still doesn't have that sense of security.

Yun Qing only hoped that his love could really stand the test of time and never deteriorate.

It's a pity that if one person is perfected, where should all the girls of His Highness attach themselves?But he threw himself into the deep palace gate with all his heart, and he was sad from then on.

Hearing that she really didn't understand his metaphor, Xuanyuanze sighed secretly, looked at the beautiful woman silently, and didn't make a sound for a while.

One day, he will let her understand his heart, and he will definitely let her accept his love willingly!
Your Highness, He Ruowan, who had been closely watching the two of them, had a cold look in her eyes, and she tightly squeezed the hand holding the jade chopsticks. The food in front of her did not move a bite, but the dishes on the plate were messed up by her.

Just like her heart that can't be calm at this moment, in an unknown dark place, it will be twisted into inextricably linked.

Let her just want to sweep away the dishes in front of her, so that she can have a blissful attack, and she will not hesitate to turn him upside down.

At the end of the song, all the women who were not in the mood to eat all put down their bowls and chopsticks, gracefully picked up wet handkerchiefs to wipe the corners of their lips, and then quietly watched the dancers in the palace leave the stage.

Following Ling Ge's order, the maids and eunuchs who had been standing in the palace early in the morning hurriedly filed forward, orderly removed the dishes in front of everyone one by one, and replaced them with fresh fruit plates and exquisite snacks.

Yun Qing clapped her hands lightly, and Xiao Taohong clearly stepped forward and handed over the list of beautiful girls.Yun Qing took it, opened it and said to Xuanyuan Ze: "A hundred flowers are blooming in Fang Yi Hall tonight, and there is a beautiful scene, which is really intoxicating! Hehe, this is everyone's roster. The emperor can choose one person at will to show off."

As she spoke, she smiled and handed the roster to Xuanyuan Ze's eyes, with a peaceful and peaceful expression.

His Highness immediately fell silent, and everyone watched the emperor reach out to take the booklet with their names written on them, with more or less tension and anticipation on their faces.

Xuanyuanze had no idea that a random tap of his fingertip would cause the heartbeats of many people below to speed up.He just silently looked at the beautiful handwriting written by Yun Qing himself, his handsome eyes were slightly deep.

"Yunya!" Ben's heart moved when he saw the word Yun, his deep voice had already pierced the eardrums of the people below, and they all turned their heads to look at the arrogant woman who was favored by the emperor.

Yunya!Everyone's thoughts moved, and they couldn't help secretly guessing.

It seems that the emperor is really partial to Concubine Hua, because everyone saw that Yun Ya was recommended by Concubine Hua to stay in the palace.

Yun Qing raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly, the first thing he mentioned was Yun Ya.

He thought that apart from Concubine Hua, he would not care so much about other women, but for Yun Ya, last time he clearly had no intention of accepting her into the palace, how could he be the first to pick her tonight?
And when Yun Ya heard the emperor read her name softly, the low quality of the voice made her heart tremble, she got up quickly inexplicably in surprise, smiled at the tall and handsome man, walked slowly to the front of the hall, and said softly : "My daughter, Yunya, has met the emperor! All blessings, my majesty!"

Xuanyuanze heard the sound and looked around, and saw a beautiful woman Tingting in a bright oriole skirt standing under his highness, with a three-jue hairpin on her head, emerald jade on her waist, and a jade body intertwined with pearls. .

She was three points smart and seven points colorful, and she stood alone at this moment, standing out from the crowd of women, which made people's eyes shine.

"Well, no courtesy!" Looking at her half-draped and half-covered beauty with a trace of blush, Xuanyuanze's handsome eyes showed a hint of imperceptible boredom, and he waved his hand casually and said: "I heard that the prime minister's daughter Yun Fourth Miss is known as the talented woman of Tiancheng, today I invite Yun Jieyu to show me her skills, so that I can see Jieyu's great talent."

"Yes, Yunya obeys the order!" With joy in her heart, Yunya couldn't help but smile and open her eyes when she heard the emperor's praise. One quickly brought the guqin in his arms, while the other moved a light round stool to Yunya's side.

Yun Ya sat lightly on the round stool, holding the gorgeous Guqin shaped like a Tibetan bow in her arms with one hand, and lightly stroking the strings with the other hand, and smiled slightly at the emperor: "Yun Ya has shown her shame!"

Then I saw her roll up her sleeves and show her plain hands, her bright wrists making an appointment with Yuhuan.The slender fingertips began to flick slowly on the strings, and the crisp sound immediately filled the hall.

Yun Qing looked at the beautiful woman with a smile on her face, and suddenly felt a little sad for her.

Her mind has been completely revealed by the sound of her piano, every frown, smile, finger and catch, all reveal the girl's beautiful yearning for love; all of them call, she hopes that with the sound of the piano tonight, she can get that people's special favor.

"Okay! Yun Jieyu is really talented. The song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" just now really opened my eyes, it is very exquisite." After the song ended, Xuanyuanze patted two palms, and the shy Yunya immediately got up to thank her. The voice became softer and softer: "Thank you for your praise, Yun Ya is not talented, I'm afraid I'll miss you!"

"Well, I think it's very good, what does the queen think?" Xuanyuan Ze raised his lips and smiled, turned to look at Yun Qing who was smiling but said nothing, and asked suddenly.

"Even the emperor is full of praise, let alone this palace. My sister is very good at playing the piano. The shape of this piano is unique, and the sound quality is extraordinary. It is really a combination of human and piano, so wonderful! Hehe, my sister is a wonderful person tonight." The sound of Quqin shocked the entire hall, it is really gratifying!" Yun Qing nodded and smiled at Yun Ya, this compliment was not deliberately flattering, at least eight points of appreciation.

"Thank you Queen for your kind words, Yunya is not talented, I made my sister laugh!" The corners of Yunya's lips raised, Yunya's eyes were obviously proud, and after the emperor ordered someone to reward her, Fang happily withdrew.

The women who performed next were directly named by Yun Qing according to the names conferred by the emperor that day, and among the many women, the first one was Tang Ninghen from Yiyang.

Tang Ninghen, who is full of beauty, dressed up in a special style tonight, wearing a gorgeous light gauze feather coat with strong Yiyang characteristics, the purple and red clothes are as light as thin wings, and the light gold embroidered shoes are following her The movement of dancing shook the eyes of all the people in the hall.

Yun Qing looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in the hall, her beautiful eyes lit up, she was amazed by her graceful dancing posture.

It seems that Tang Chongyi really lived up to the highest title given to her by the emperor that day. Not only is she beautiful in life, but she also dances so beautifully that even as a woman, she is moved.

What about him?
Thinking about it, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Xuanyuan Ze beside her, but she was surprised to see him turn his head in response, which made her slightly startled, and then saw him suddenly stretching his lips and smiling at her.

His smile was indescribably ambiguous, as if he was laughing at Yunqing not looking at His Highness's dancers at this time, but looking at him.

Yun Qing felt hot for a while, and hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet his teasing eyes again.

"The Queen has something to say to me, but it's inconvenient to say it in public?" Xuanyuan Ze didn't let her go, and suddenly he turned to one side, gently wrapped Yun Qing's body with one hand, and chuckled softly, "Still, Queen Want to show me not to be fooled by the beauty in front of me, but to choose the situation soberly?"

This action of his is very eye-catching, although everyone is watching Tang Chongyi's dance, but in private, he admires Emperor Junyi very much, and he will occasionally cast a soft and tender glance full of affection.

The movement of him stretching out his hand to embrace Yunqing fell on everyone's eyes clearly, making everyone stare at it unexpectedly, and forgot to move it away again.

Tang Ninghen, who was dancing lightly, also paused, and her dancing posture could not be coherent naturally. In an instant, her tender and sweet smile had froze into astonishment and frustration.

Concubine Hua had already turned pale with anger, seeing the emperor being intimate with Yun Qing in public, she was so angry that she was about to lose her mind, she could only tightly clenched her sleeves, wrinkling the originally soft and smooth cuffs.

"The emperor misunderstood, Yun Qing didn't mean anything like that." Yun Qing's face was already as red as a ripe apple at the moment when many eyes were shot at the same time, and he wanted to break free, but found that his arm would not allow her to break free at all. .

The hot and humid breath of his breath came from her ears, and she smelled the faint fragrance of ambergris on his body. Her heart skipped a beat, she turned her head uncomfortably, and suppressed the irregular heartbeat, trying to drive away the inexplicable feeling he brought to her. throbbing.

Ever since he almost pampered her in the imperial study, her heart beat involuntarily when she was a certain distance away from him, making her always want to avoid him.

"Oh, it seems that I misunderstood the queen!" Xuanyuan Ze seemed to have noticed her reaction, and with a light smile, the corner of his lips kissed her soft earlobe on purpose, making Yun Qing's whole body stiff, and he was already Satisfied, he let her go.

"Crack!" An ear-piercing sound of cracking awakened everyone in the hall, especially Yun Qing, who had just been extremely nervous and relaxed. After hearing this sound, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and quickly turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

Xuanyuanze frowned, pulled Yun Qing's wrist with a light hand, and patted it comfortingly, then turned to look at Concubine Hua who had knocked over the tea set in front of her, his eyes darkened slightly.

A court lady ran quickly, but she saw Concubine Hua quickly caressing her chest with one hand, and tightly covering her mouth with the other, with an extremely ugly expression on her face.

"What's wrong with Concubine Hua?" Yun Qing knew the clue, and glanced at her indifferently. She couldn't help but cast a cold glance at the man who was calm and calm at this time, and then pulled it out of his hand forcefully. Hand, the voice is extremely calm.

She knew that Concubine Hua was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable seeing Xuanyuan Ze's ambiguous attitude with herself, so she deliberately knocked over the teacup. She was not angry with her intentional actions, but angry with the man who teased her in public.

He said with a serious face before that he only wanted to be infatuated with Concubine Hua in this life, but now when he saw her uncomfortable expression, he didn't even have a word of concern that he should have; I can't feel the tension that I should have had.

No matter whether he saw through Concubine Hua's poor acting skills or not, there was one thing that Concubine Hua did not pretend to be, that is, the jealousy and pain in her eyes had been clearly revealed.

And how could he know what she was thinking, but still be willing to make her sad?

With empty palms, Xuanyuan Ze noticed Yun Qing's slightly angry expression, but he was puzzled, whether she was angry at her teasing just now, or angry at Wan'er's intentional trouble.

Seeing her icy expression, he was a little flustered, as if she suddenly exuded an air of extreme estrangement from him, unconsciously repelling him from her heart.

He Ruowan gritted her teeth, looked at the woman who caused her to stay away from the emperor with some hatred, half covered her mouth and stood up gently, and said in a dull voice: "The concubine is rude, and I ask the emperor to forgive me, but the concubine suddenly, Sudden desire to...vomit..."

Before the voice fell, she hurriedly covered her lips again, so that everyone immediately understood what was going on with her.

"Wan'er is not feeling well, go back to rest earlier, Ning'er, take good care of your master, and send her back to the palace to rest!" Xuanyuanze looked at He Ruowan who seemed to be vomiting, but sighed in his heart, and raised his hand to tell Hua The concubine's personal maid hurriedly helped her back to the palace.

"My sister is pregnant, so there is no room for sloppy care. The emperor has something to do, so let Yun Qing send Hua Concubine's sister back to the palace to see the imperial doctor!" Yun Qing immediately stood up, before Xuanyuan Ze could respond, Then he walked to He Ruowan's side, stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a smile: "Let's go, sister, I will take you back to the palace.

"Then, sister, thank you sister! Your Majesty, the concubine will leave first!" He Ruowan didn't expect that Yun Qing would come down to see her off on her own initiative. Although she couldn't figure out what her purpose was, being able to get her away from the emperor made her feel much better. .

Even if she has other thoughts, she is not afraid at all.She has already done everything that should be done properly, even if she has doubts, she can't find any mistakes at all.

Just like that, Xuanyuanze watched in astonishment as Yun Qing left him, and sent Wan'er away alone.

The extremely indifferent expression when she left made him finally realize that she seemed to be angry with him.

He felt a little bored suddenly in his heart, he didn't expect that his random actions would make her escape from him completely.

Damn it, without her selection banquet, how could he have the patience to stay here for so long!

"Thank you for seeing me off in person. In fact, my sister just felt nauseous suddenly. I guess the imperial banquet tonight was too tasty, so I couldn't help but eat a few more mouthfuls. I'm really sorry for making my sister worry." Lying on the big carved bed in the Nuanxiang Pavilion On top of that, He Ruowan's complexion was rosy, compared with the red and white complexion just now, it was indeed much calmer.

"Since my sister is fine, I can rest assured! My sister has a good rest, and I will come to see you tomorrow!" After Ning'er invited the imperial physician to treat Concubine Hua, Yun Qing heard that Concubine Hua was a normal morning sickness reaction , nothing serious, then set off to leave.

He Ruowan's voice was delicate, she looked at Yun Qing who didn't have much doubt on her face, and sneered in her heart.

When Yun Qing left, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and was replaced by the cold expression that the imperial physician Liu Quan was somewhat familiar with: "Liu Quan, the palace has indeed experienced drowsiness and nausea in the past two days, I want to know , while taking the medicine, can I still get pregnant again?"

"Back to the empress, the officials of the world were worried that there would be other imperial physicians who would treat the empress again, so they prescribed a lot of medicine; so now the empress not only has a real pulse, but also the reaction that all pregnant people should have. The plenary meeting reflected one by one. It’s just that after taking this medicine, unless the empress prompts menstruation as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be for the empress’s body. If the menstrual blood is not forced out after six months, it will be bad for the empress’ future childbirth. Extremely unfavorable."

Liu Quan bowed slightly, looking at Concubine Hua whose complexion became more and more serious after listening to his words, her heart was pounding.

Now he has no choice but to fire. Since the last time He Canling approached him in private, his life has gone back to the old way again.

Originally thought that incident could be buried in the memory of the crazy Concubine Mei forever, but he didn't want to, then He Xiuzhu accidentally caught this fatal spot of his own, so he had no choice but to comply with his request.

Originally, I thought that this Concubine Hua was so favored that she would never resort to such deceitful tricks; but I didn't expect that she was better than Concubine Mei back then, and she was willing to bet her own body to make him secretly shock.

But what happened now made him even more terrified. Now that he and she are already tied to the same boat, if everything goes well for her, it will be fine. If her affairs are revealed, as the emperor's favorite concubine, no matter how punished she is, she will be punished at most. Leng Gong.

And I, like the guard who protected Concubine Zhen back then, had no choice but to die.

"That is to say, while I am taking the medicine, there is no possibility of pregnancy anymore?" Xiumei frowned, He Ruowan grabbed the brocade quilt on her body with one hand, her heart sank.

At that time, because of the urgency of the assassination incident, she came up with this bad plan, trying to dispel the emperor's doubts about her, and take back the emperor's heart by the way.

Now even the Queen Mother is taking good care of her pregnancy, but she is getting more and more worried every day.

Now is not the best time to urge menstruation. Although the matter of Chen Jingzhi has been put on hold by the emperor for the time being, it does not mean that the woman will no longer stare at the emperor to pursue the matter after she became pregnant.

Also, if she lost her child rashly, then the empress dowager's shrewdness would be extremely detrimental to her.Now, she can only make other plans after the queen mother leaves the palace to clean up.

"Not all, as long as the empress avoids taking this medicine every time before the Holy Majesty's fortune, and takes the blind palace warming prescription prepared by the lower official within half an hour before, there may be a possibility of continued pregnancy. It's just that the lower official diagnosed Madam's body is weak and cold, I'm afraid she needs to take good care of her body before she conceives!" Liu Quan pondered for a moment, then truthfully told the fact that He Ruowan would not conceive in the short term.

Her beautiful eyes darkened, and He Ruowan's face was slightly gloomy, she already understood Liu Quan's meaning: "Well, I know about it, and then I will trouble the Imperial Physician Liu. It's getting late, please come back! Ning'er, replace me The palace rewards Imperial Physician Liu!"

"Yes, I will resign!" Looking at Concubine Hua with a bad face, Liu Quan bent over knowingly, and under the leadership of Ning'er, he exited the Nuanxiang Pavilion.

He Ruowan looked at the empty bedroom, thinking of the scene of the emperor embracing Yun Qing in the Fangyi Hall before, her heart was pierced like a sharp knife.

It's just that she didn't expect that she created this fake pregnancy, but the emperor still treated her indifferently.

"Crash..."

She casually pulled out the beaded hairpin that was carefully groomed before leaving the palace. She was so angry that her arms trembled, and she threw it all over the floor; finally, she looked straight at the dazzling and delicate golden step that represented the status of a concubine, and hated it. He desperately wanted to break it off.

"Stand by step! Why can she wear a phoenix hairpin while I can only wear such ordinary things? Why can she sit beside the emperor but let me watch them from afar... Yun Qing, I don't know If I lose to you, I will definitely not lose to you!"

Crashing, as she pulled vigorously, the unique pendant bells on the step shaker also rolled down one after another, and the pleasant sound that waited for step by step to shake and move emotionally could no longer be made.
