long live the queen

Chapter 39

"Miss Wei?" Concubine Zhuang squinted at Wei Yunqing, with disdain on her delicate face, "I see, it's more appropriate to call Mother Wei."

Wei Yunqing froze for a moment, then realized that the other party was mocking her for being old.

Cough, she is 22 years old, five years older than Yang Yi.When talking to Yan Rusong, she also emphasized that she was old, but how could she really think that she was old? 22 years old, just graduated from university, just started to enter the society, still a newcomer in society, how old is he?What she said to Yan Rusong was just to tease him on purpose. At her age, she is still young enough to act like a baby casually, okay?

Hearing Concubine Zhuang's words, the maids following her either covered their mouths or laughed bluntly. On Wei Yunqing's side, Xu Guier frowned, while Lu Cui and Lan Tian looked at Wei Yunqing with some concern.

In the end, Wei Yunqing smiled unaffected and said, "You're welcome, just call me sister just like A Yi."

Concubine Zhuang's expression changed: "Bold! How dare you call the emperor by his first name?"

The anger accumulated little by little, and the woman surnamed Wei in front of her deliberately acted as if she was so close to the emperor!Obviously she is the most favored woman in the harem, even she has never called the emperor by his name, why is this woman?Why should she!
I even called him Er Gouzi!
Wei Yunqing is actually not very happy to be an enemy of Yang Yi's concubine. She thinks she is Yang Yi's elder sister, so this Concubine Zhuang can be regarded as her sister-in-law, right?So "A Yi asked me to call you" This originally tit-for-tat sentence twitched in her throat, but changed when she uttered it, and even her tone became gentle: "He recognizes me as his sister, so naturally he can let me be like this." Call him. Concubine Zhuang, Xu Guier accidentally bumped into you just now, and I will apologize to you on his behalf, so how about just exposing this matter?"

Concubine Zhuang was startled, this woman... is really the emperor's recognized sister?She really didn't mean to fight at all?
Wei Yunqing's sudden change of attitude made Concubine Zhuang suspicious. She frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of the one in Yonghe Palace, who always looked innocent and weak, but she was just pretending to be in front of the emperor. How similar?
Concubine Zhuang took a deep breath, an enemy is an enemy, she will not be deceived by the other party's rhetoric!

"This dog slave has offended me, if you don't give him a good lesson, others will think that I'm easy to bully!" Concubine Zhuang said coldly, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and give me a slap in the face!"

The two servants originally stopped aside because of Wei Yunqing's sudden utterance, giving Xu Gui'er a chance to breathe, but now they got orders from Concubine Zhuang, and rushed over swiftly.

Wei Yunqing saw that he could no longer be kind today, and his kindness was completely ignored by the other party, so he didn't want to bear it any longer.She quickly said something to Lan Tian, ​​then rushed forward, pulled Xu Guier behind her, looked at Concubine Zhuang and said, "Madam Zhuang, Xu Guier is someone close to the emperor, you can hit him whenever you want, and you are not afraid that the emperor will give birth to you." gas?"

In fact, Wei Yunqing also understood that Concubine Zhuang was indeed targeting Xu Guier at first, but after knowing who she was, Xu Guier had become the target of anger. Concubine Zhuang was not beating Xu Guier, but wanted to beat her!
Alas, the harem is indeed a depressing place. These women are all very excited when they see someone who seems to be threatening, but they don't try to figure out whether he is a real enemy or not.She was shot while lying down.

"Don't use the emperor to oppress people. Even in front of the emperor, this dog slave will have to slap your mouth!" Concubine Zhuang's attitude was quite tough, and she didn't waver in the slightest because Wei Yunqing brought out Yang Yi.

Wei Yunqing couldn't help thinking, this is the confidence of being a favorite concubine.What Concubine Zhuang said is also true, for the emperor, the woman he likes is definitely more important than the servants under his command, so what is nothing more than a few slaps?And Yang Yi, the emperor, doesn't have the majesty of an emperor, and he probably doesn't care at all that the concubine beat the people in his palace to embarrass him.

"Concubine Zhuang, just now you kicked Xu Gui'er, and the footprints are still on him. After all, you are not at a loss. If you have to forgive others, if you forgive others, the emperor will think you are magnanimous." Wei Yunqing also became polite. .When she was there, at least no one could be implicated because of her. She would leave the palace in a few days. Concubine Zhuang must have understood at that time that she had found the wrong person. Outside the palace, she is beyond her reach.

"How dare you call me petite?" Concubine Zhuang raised her brows and said angrily.

Wei Yunqing: "..." Did she say this just now? Why didn't she know?
Although he was still thinking about which words or eyes he had misunderstood Concubine Zhuang, Wei Yunqing immediately blurted out the words of denial: "I didn't scold you."

Concubine Zhuang didn't care about Wei Yunqing's explanation, and after finishing speaking angrily, she gave orders to the people around her: "Catch her for me!"

"Concubine Zhuang, please think twice! If Miss Wei is injured in any way, the emperor will be furious!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Gui'er stopped hiding behind Wei Yunqing, and hurriedly stopped her.

But his persuasion only resulted in a sneer from Concubine Zhuang: "Will I be afraid of this?"

Xu Gui'er stood in front of Wei Yunqing anxiously, wishing to grow superhuman and six-armed to protect her, you must know that if Miss Wei gets hurt, it will be him who will be unlucky in the end!

Lu Cui, who was originally behind Wei Yunqing, saw this, and although her face was full of fear, she still stood bravely with Xu Gui'er.She was originally a maid of the Qianqing Palace, she had seen Concubine Zhuang's arrogance before, and the emperor didn't care, she used to walk around when she saw Concubine Zhuang.But at this moment, Concubine Zhuang is going to be unfavorable to Miss Wei, she can't retreat no matter what!
Wei Yunqing was also shocked, she was not good at force, how could she fight with so many people?If they caught her, she would suffer a lot.Even if Yang Yi can avenge her when he arrives, he will suffer all the losses. What's the use of revenge?The pain is gone!

Wei Yunqing couldn't be bothered by the scene in front of her. She suddenly straightened her back and looked at Concubine Zhuang, and said with a sneer, "Concubine Zhuang, I think you've heard that the emperor was escorted back to Jinyang by me. What do you think I rely on? Only then did he protect him from the battlefield and trek all the way to Jinyang?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Guier and Lu Cui again, and said in the style of a master: "You two step down first, since they don't know what to do, I'll let them see how powerful our Ancient Tomb Sect is! Although I'm not as ruthless as my senior sister , kill without leaving a whole body, but in terms of martial arts, I will not lose to her!"

Lu Cui turned her head to look at Wei Yunqing in shock, with question marks in her heart: Miss Wei, when did you become an ancient tomb sect?Where did you come from, why have we never met your senior sister?

Although Lucui was puzzled in her heart, she would not dismantle Wei Yunqing's stage. Out of trust in Wei Yunqing, Lucui hesitated and took a step aside.Xu Gui'er didn't understand Wei Yunqing even more. Seeing that Lu Cui had retreated, he believed Wei Yunqing's words in his heart, and hurriedly backed away.

Miss Wei's words are very reasonable, if she didn't possess peerless martial arts, how could she escort the emperor back?

The others present were hesitant because of Wei Yunqing's excellent singing and writing performance, and gradually they had the same thoughts as Xu Guier.

To be able to save someone from the battlefield, what a martial art it must be!
With this hesitation, he lost the courage to go forward again. Several people were only a few steps away, but they didn't dare to take a step forward. A timid palace lady even took a small step back.

Wei Yunqing tilted his body slightly, looked at the front lightly, slowly raised his hand, his face was expressionless, and said indifferently: "Come on, let you attack first, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Wei Yunqing's posture is quite superior, and she is indeed talented in acting, otherwise she would not be able to deceive Li Zhuo.

Concubine Zhuang and the servants around her were really intimidated for a while, how dare they come up?However, Concubine Zhuang, as a commander, doesn't need to do anything, she will always be more courageous. The hostility towards Wei Yunqing finally defeated her fear, and she shouted: "Go up, you all go up to me!"

Under Concubine Zhuang's urging, the two servants finally got a little more courageous and rushed towards Wei Yunqing bravely.

Wei Yunqing shouted: "Look at my Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle!"

As he said that, it was an action of throwing needles outward.

The two servants were so frightened that they hugged their heads and squatted on the ground, and they also let out an exclamation.

However, they naturally don't have any needles on them.But right after the needle-throwing action, Wei Yunqing immediately pulled up Xu Guier and Lu Cui, who were still watching the excitement, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Run!"

Since bluffing is nothing more than bluffing, of course the only way to go is to walk!
The two were staggered, and they managed to keep up with Wei Yunqing's rhythm. They really thought that some "stormy pear blossom needle" had been shot just now, and they were about to applaud, when they were suddenly pulled.

"Girl, just now... just now your rainstorm pear blossom needle failed?" Lu Cui said in surprise while running.

Wei Yunqing was speechless, this Lu Cui was so sweet, she was too embarrassed to point out her stupidity...

It was Xu Gui'er who was more clever, and said while running: "Miss Wei, you lied to them just now?"

"Xu Guier is still smart!" Wei Yunqing praised, "Run first, talk later!"

The people behind also realized that they had been cheated, and Concubine Zhuang immediately shouted angrily: "Useless things, let me catch them quickly!"

Now she just wants to catch Wei Yunqing and give her a good lesson. As for the consequences, she no longer thinks about it.But she wasn't worried, the emperor loved her so much, she didn't believe that the emperor would punish her for this inexplicable woman!

Under Concubine Zhuang's order, the two servants immediately chased after her.

Wei Yunqing dragged Xu Gui'er and Lu Cui to run not fast, she was in good physical condition, but Lu Cui was not good, and kept dragging her feet.Seeing that the front door is the Kunning Gate, there are guards outside this gate, let's see if Concubine Zhuang dares to mess around.

Wei Yunqing looked back while running, seeing the two servants getting closer and closer, she also became nervous, and when she turned her head to look forward again, she followed in Xu Guier's footsteps and bumped into someone.She didn't react slowly. She just felt that she had bumped into someone, so she immediately reached out to grab it. The other person was running, with a lot of momentum. After retreating and advancing like this, her body became a little unstable, and her head hit Wei Yunqing's chest, so Wei Yunqing took him back. It took several steps before stopping.

When that person raised his head from her chest, Wei Yunqing was overjoyed, it was Yang Yi, who had caught up!
Just now she quietly told Lan Tian to run to find Yang Yi when Concubine Zhuang was not paying attention to her, and she deliberately chatted with Concubine Zhuang a lot, mainly to delay time and wait for Yang Yi to come.

Yang Yi's face was flushed at the moment, his eyes drifted to Wei Yunqing's chest from time to time, the more he looked at it, the more he recalled the touch just now, his heartbeat couldn't stop, he even forgot what he came here for.

"Emperor, Your Majesty!" The servant who was chasing after saw Wei Yunqing and the others stopped, and was very happy. When he saw the person they bumped into, his face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground subconsciously.

This call woke up Yang Yi, he reluctantly looked away, and looked at the two kneeling on the ground with some annoyance.

Lan Tian ran after Yang Yi, she was out of breath at the moment, but seeing that she had time to stop her, she showed a look of relief.

Concubine Zhuang saw Yang Yi's appearance from a distance, and stepped up a little to meet him.

"See Your Majesty." Concubine Zhuang bowed, her posture was still flamboyant, and she did not restrain herself because of Yang Yi's appearance.

When Lan Tian went to look for Yang Yi, he didn't have time to explain what happened. When she heard Wei Yunqing mentioned, his expression was full of anxiety, so he ran over in a hurry, and he was relieved when he saw that Wei Yunqing was fine.Seeing Concubine Zhuang saluting, he waved his hand casually, not paying much attention, just looked at Wei Yunqing and said, "Sister Yunqing, are you alright?"

He was referring to the moment when he bumped into her just now.

Wei Yunqing shook his head: "It's not hard, it's fine."

"That's good." Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a frown, "Sister Yunqing, why did you ask Lan Tian to come to me?"

Seeing Yang Yi's appearance, Wei Yunqing's mind was completely relieved. No matter how arrogant Concubine Zhuang was, it was impossible for her to face her in front of Yang Yi.

The crisis was resolved, and when Yang Yi asked, Wei Yunqing hesitated a little, wondering if he should tell what happened just now.

Before she could think it over, Concubine Zhuang pointed at Xu Gui'er and said, "Your Majesty, this dog slave ran into this concubine, and this concubine just wanted to teach him a lesson, but this...Miss Wei wanted to stop this concubine. The concubine is your concubine, how can you allow others to belittle you? Please the emperor make the decision for the concubine!"

Yang Yi followed Concubine Zhuang's pointing and saw Xu Gui'er, who immediately knelt down when the emperor looked over, and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, this servant accidentally bumped into Concubine Zhuang, Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive this servant." !"

Xu Gui'er didn't make any excuses, but told the truth about the situation, and begged Yang Yi for mercy.

If before leaving the palace this time, Yang Yi would unconditionally follow Concubine Zhuang and punish one or two palace servants, what would it be?However, when he heard Concubine Zhuang say that Wei Yunqing was going to stop him, and seeing that Xu Guier was the one Zheng Xiang pointed out to lead Wei Yunqing, he immediately changed his mind, and said indifferently: "It was just a collision, you Get up."

Xu Gui'er seemed to be pardoned, and immediately thanked En and got up.

Concubine Zhuang's face changed drastically, and she immediately said: "Your Majesty! Let's forget about the grievances suffered by the concubines?"

With Wei Yunqing in front of him, Yang Yi felt annoyed seeing anyone making noise, so he thought for a while and said, "I will give you some rewards as compensation later." This was sending her off directly with money.

Concubine Zhuang's face turned pale, and she said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, I don't want any rewards, I just want to vent my anger! Otherwise, others will only think that anyone can bully me, how can I bear it?"

Yang Yi frowned, suddenly felt that things were difficult to handle.Concubine Zhuang was, after all, one of his favorite concubines in the past. She was the most appetizing to him when she accompanied him up and down the hills and making all kinds of mischief. It was fun to play like this. Other women even laughed like they were crying. What's the point?But now that his sister Yun Qing appeared, the balance in his heart had already tilted, and his heart was naturally more towards sister Yun Qing.However, it is impossible for him to ignore the affection of Concubine Zhuang as a playmate so quickly. He also had a fight with Sun Chengji in order to make Concubine Zhuang a queen, so he is now in a dilemma.

"Didn't you kick Xu Gui'er just now?" Seeing that Yang Yi suddenly stopped talking, Wei Yunqing became vigilant and looked at Xu Gui'er, "Xu Gui'er, show the emperor the footprints on your body."

The situation was threatening just now, after Xu Gui'er was kicked down by Concubine Zhuang, he had no time to pay attention to the footprints until now. Hearing what Wei Yunqing said now, he just looked down, and the footprints with a little grass were still very clear.

When Yang Yi saw that there was indeed a footprint, he said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Since you have vented your anger, let's forget about it."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Zhuang naturally refused to let it go.

Yang Yi was also a little annoyed, and said unhappy, "That's it!"

He didn't look at Concubine Zhuang again, but turned to look at Wei Yunqing: "Sister Yunqing, I'm fine, now continue to accompany you to see! Let's go!"

He did not avoid suspicion, held Wei Yunqing's hand in public, and walked out of Kunning Gate.

As soon as he left, Wei Yunqing was forced to follow, Xu Guier, Lan Tian and Lu Cui also followed, plus a group of eunuchs and maids who came running after Yang Yi, the group of people hurriedly evacuated.

Concubine Zhuang's face was gloomy, she stared in the direction of Kunning Gate and said nothing.

The palace people around her were all silent, and no one dared to make a sound at this moment.

"Where are you taking me again? I've seen everything here!" Wei Yunqing was dragged by Yang Yi and ran back, passing by Kunning Palace and Jiaotai Palace, and he was about to return to Qianqing Palace.

Yang Yi smiled and said: "Sister Yunqing, let's go to the outer court to have a look!" He had thought about it, he didn't need to be in the inner court, and let Xu Gui'er take Sister Yunqing around, but there were many men in the outer court, so he had to Be with her, lest someone bump into her.

As for not wanting her to have too much contact with other men, it is naturally not humane.

Xu Gui'er once mentioned the first three halls, Wei Yunqing was also curious, and didn't look carefully when she came, so she agreed after hearing Yang Yi say this.It was not easy for her to go in and see the palace she visited before, but now that Yang Yi is following her, she can go in and see it all over like a modern tourist. Who dares to stop her?

Thinking of being able to see and touch these great ancient buildings, the most central buildings of the dynasty, Wei Yunqing couldn't stop his excitement.For the first time, she felt that time travel is also beneficial.

As soon as Yang Yi brought Wei Yunqing to Qianqing Palace, someone answered him, an acquaintance, Cao Jun.

Cao Jun smiled and said: "The emperor is lucky, and Miss Wei is lucky."

"Hello, Eunuch Cao." Wei Yunqing also greeted politely.After all, I have received gifts from others.

Cao Jun smiled and wanted to say something, but Yang Yi said impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Cao Jun quickly suppressed his smile, and replied politely: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun asked his servant to report, he still has something important to discuss with you."

"Why is he so annoying!" Yang Yi said dissatisfiedly, but he didn't take it seriously. Just now he ran away as soon as he heard that Wei Yunqing had something to do. It is true that he hasn't talked to Sun Chengji much.

"Then go see him first, I'll wait a while." Wei Yunqing said.

Yang Yi nodded quickly: "Sister Yunqing, you have to wait for me, I will be back soon!"

Yang Yi directly took Wei Yunqing to Qianqingmen, where he usually received ministers. When he arrived, Sun Chengji was waiting outside, and if Yang Yi couldn't come out, he would rush in and drag him out.

This was the first time that Wei Yunqing saw the chief assistant, Sun Chengji, Sun Chengji. As a veteran of the three dynasties, he was already gray-haired, but he was full of energy, with a calmness and aura accumulated over the years.As soon as those piercing eyes swept over, Wei Yunqing felt shocked, and had the illusion of being seen through.

She silently comforted herself: Fortunately, I am a good person and I am not afraid...

Yang Yi greeted Sun Chengji after seeing him.When Sun Chengji and Yang Yi walked into the side room, they turned their heads slightly and glanced at Wei Yunqing, so surprised that Wei Yunqing immediately corrected his attitude and put on an upright appearance.

Cao Jun smiled obsequiously and led Wei Yunqing into another room to rest. Wei Yunqing nodded with a smile.

It was Yan Rusong, he was walking towards Qianqing Gate, he should have come to see Yang Yi.

Looking at Yan Rusong striding forward, Wei Yunqing felt that he was handsome just by walking, and his heart beat fast.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the attraction of visiting the palace was not so great to her, she wanted to leave the palace immediately, go to see Yan Rusong outside the palace, be free.

Because of the light and the angle, Yan Rusong didn't see Wei Yunqing. After a small pause, Wei Yunqing entered the room despite his reluctance.Running to meet Yan Rusong in this kind of place outside the court and the inner court seems a bit too high-profile, she should bear it for another two days, and go to him happily after leaving the palace.

Wei Yunqing rested in the room for a while, and Yang Yi came over. When he saw her, he seemed a little uncomfortable and asked, "Sister Yunqing, did you see anyone just now?"

"Who?" Wei Yunqing wondered.

Seeing her puzzled face, Yang Yi seemed to be happy, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's nothing, Sister Yunqing, let's rest for a while."

"Okay." Wei Yunqing nodded in response without asking further questions.

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.He was afraid that Yan Rusong would bump into Wei Yunqing when he came to see him just now, so he asked more. Now that they have just left, he doesn't want to bump into Yan Rusong when he is taking her around.

The two of them had just spoken a few words when a servant came in to report, saying that Master Sun was asking to see him.

Yang Yi was going crazy: "Didn't you just see it? What is he doing here?"

The servant said cautiously: "Master Sun... said he wanted to see Miss Wei."

"What?" Yang Yi frowned, "Just tell me, no see!"

The servant didn't leave immediately, but said tremblingly: "Go back to the emperor, Mr. Sun said, he won't leave until he sees Miss Wei."

"He... this..." Yang Yi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this moment, Wei Yunqing also had a look of shock on his face. This Lord Chief Assistant, who is at the level of the Prime Minister in modern times, actually asked to see her by name...

"Since Mr. Sun wants to see me... then see... right?" Wei Yunqing said hesitantly.
