Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 82

Murong Xue said: "No nonsense is allowed."

Ding Xiang pouted and said: "I'm not talking nonsense. After the emperor issued the decree to abolish the empress, he talked about the old sword of Wei Shi to the courtiers, and then mentioned the young lady, saying that the young lady had saved his life. Isn't that true? Hinting to the courtiers that he wants to make Miss the Queen?"

Could it be that he was saved when he was caught by King Chengxi and swore not to recruit him?Murong Xue frowned. She was still indifferent when she heard about Fei Hou, but seeing that the matter was about to involve her, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. The empress has always been selected among the daughters of important officials in the court, and she has no family background. Without background, even if he claimed that he had saved him, he might not be able to pass the courtier's test.Thinking of this, he smiled indifferently: "Don't mention this matter again. By the way, I want to eat shepherd's purse dumplings tonight. Can I find shepherd's purse now?"

Ding Xiang glanced at her speechlessly.It's this time, and I'm thinking about eating dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables.

This night, both Ding Xiang and Pei Lan were secretly looking forward to Yeluyan coming to Yide Palace, or Qin Shu coming to see Concubine Xuande.Strangely, until late at night, Murong Xue had already gone to bed, and there was no movement.

Ding Xiang felt uneasy, could it be that the news she inquired about today was wrong?

Perrin also found it incredible.Now that the new emperor is enthroned, it is a good time for the courtiers to show their loyalty to the new emperor. Since the emperor specifically mentioned Murong Xue in front of the courtiers, he naturally reminded those courtiers who were winking, and told them to write a memorial and ask Murong Xue to be his new emperor. rear.

Since he was going to make Murong Xue his queen, why didn't he come?What is the reason for this awkwardness? Could it be that he wanted Murong Xue to see him first?
Lilac Perrin analyzed it for a while and felt that this was the only possibility.After all, he is the emperor, so there is no reason for him to condescend to please his concubine.But the difficulty is that Murong Xue is also stubborn, because of the death of Xu Ze and Zhao Zhenniang's mother and daughter, she hated the emperor, and she looked like she was planning to die forever. It is absolutely impossible for her to ask the emperor first.Dingxiang Peilan was so worried that she lost sleep.We have to think of a way to do this.

On the second day, there was still no movement of Yeluyan, but Murong Xue was calmer than the rocks by the sea, took a scripture book, knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva, and silently chanted sutras for Xu Ze, the princess and Zhao Zhenniang.

Ding Xiang finally waited for her to finish chanting, and immediately smiled and said: "Miss, the good news said that there is a Yangxin Garden on the east side of the Imperial Garden. Go and see."

"That's right, empress, if you are bored in Yide Palace all day, why don't you go to enjoy the flowers and relax. I heard that this Yangxin Garden existed in the previous dynasty, and there are many exotic flowers and plants from overseas."

When Murong Xue heard the word "overseas", her heart moved, she wondered if there was vanilla.

Seeing that she was a little moved, Lilac Peilan continued to encourage her.

"Miss, let's go and have a look."

Murong Xue couldn't stand the chatter between the two of them, and she was very concerned about the vanilla, so she took the two of them to the Imperial Garden in the afternoon, led by Jiayin.

On the way, Murong Xue couldn't help asking: "Jiayin, have you been to Yangxinyuan, where there are vanilla?"

"What is vanilla?"

When Murong Xue saw Jiayin's ignorant look, she smiled, "It's a kind of spice."

"Slaves are ignorant and ignorant about this."

Jiayin took Murong Xue to the east side of the imperial garden, and she saw a unique flower house standing behind the rockery.After Murong Xue went in, she found that the ground dragon was burning inside, hot water was still flowing in the ditch next to the wall, and the fumigated greenhouse was warm, which was a full miss from the outside. Some of the flowers raised have already budded early.

Murong Xue was born in a medical family, and she has been familiar with all kinds of flowers and plants since she was a child, but in Yangxin Garden, as Jia Yin said, there are some flowers and plants that she has never seen before.A birdcage was hung on the flower stand, and there were mynahs in it. Seeing someone coming, he called a few times, and Lilac Peilan came up to tease him.

Murong Xue went inside, and found that the easternmost corner of the flower house was different from other places. It opened up a separate place, with four corners supported by iron rods, covered with black gauze as thin as a cicada's wings, and I don't know what kind of treasure was planted inside. , can't you see the light?

She walked over curiously, and saw a strange plant with fat and thick leaves, climbing on the stone pillar.

"Jiayin, what is this?" When she looked back, she found that Lilac Peilan and Jiayin were not there, but Yeluyan was standing behind her at some point.

The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, as if the glimpse of the smile just now was just his illusion.

"All blessings, Your Majesty." She bowed upright, with a serious expression on her face, her eyes drooping slightly, and she refused to look at him, which clearly meant that she was still angry and unwilling to reconcile.

"Exemption."

Murong Xue was secretly angry, it must be the trick of the girl Ding Xiang, so it was such a coincidence that she would meet him in this tiny place in this huge harem.

"Rong Chenqie resigns." She was going to walk away, but Yeluyan grabbed her arm, "Didn't you ask what this is?"

Murong Xue said: "The concubine doesn't want to know now."

This was clearly out of anger, Yeluyan stared at her face tightly, but didn't let go.Murong Xue didn't break free, the two of them froze in the greenhouse, the faint fragrance wafted over, but they couldn't blow away the solemnity in each other's hearts.

"Zhao Zhenniang is not what you think." Yeluyan broke the silence, and said slowly: "Do you still remember that piece of cloth with words written on lips, it fell into her hands. She competed with Concubine Qiao for favor After losing, she was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor, and then gave the cloth strip to King Cheng Xi as a bargaining chip for King Cheng Xi to help her make a comeback, so King Cheng Xi was willing to help her get out of the cold palace."

Murong Xue was extremely shocked, and raised her eyes in disbelief. Although Yeluyan was heartless and indifferent, he never lied to her.It didn't look like he was lying at the moment.

"During that time, the late emperor was unable to see things because he had taken too many pills, so he asked Concubine Qiao to assist him in handling political affairs. When Qiao Xueyi read the memorial for him, she took out the evidence of King Chengxi's memorial."

Murong Xue couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.It never occurred to her that the piece of cloth fell into Zhao Zhenniang's hands. At that time, she lived in Jiayi Palace, and she secretly took out the piece of cloth every night to look at it to comfort lovesickness, and kept it carefully. Later, she suddenly disappeared, and she also felt strange, but she never thought that it would be Zhao Zhenniang who did something wrong.

Yeluyan said: "Everyone in this palace is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Zhao Zhenniang used you and your father from the beginning to the end, just under the guise of repaying favors. She matched you and me, but it was just To pave the way for the future, she left your father in the imperial hospital to deal with Qiao Xueyi. Why do you think she was cast into the cold palace by the first emperor? She framed Qiao Xueyi for murdering the princess. Moreover, your father was implicated in this matter."

Murong Xue was even more surprised when she heard this.

"She lied that the palace maid had lice on her head, and asked your father to prepare a pair of poisonous powder for shampooing. Then she framed that Qiao Xueyi had poisonous powder in her nails and wanted to murder the princess. The emperor found out the truth, and in a fit of anger, she Into the limbo. But she pushed the matter to your father, if Qiao Xueyi hadn't played around with it, your father would have been implicated as well."

When Murong Xue heard this, the shock and sadness in her heart were beyond words.Her feelings for Zhao Zhenniang went through ups and downs, and went through several back and forth.When she first learned that she was selected into the palace because of her recommendation in front of the old emperor, she really hated her teeth. Later, because she married Yeluyan, she canceled the resentment and regarded her as a benefactor.But now, she realized that she had been used by this seemingly gentle and kind woman from beginning to end.

"The late emperor felt that Zhao Zhenniang was not as narrow-minded and knowledgeable as Qiao Xueyi, so he entrusted the princess to Qiao Xueyi's upbringing. It was not that I favored Qiao Xueyi and refused to return the princess to her. This is the late emperor's will, and I cannot disobey it. As for Princess Wenchang," Yeluyan paused and said, "Because the late emperor took pills all the year round, Princess Wenchang was congenitally deficient and would not live to be three years old. Your father must have known this, but no one dared to mention it to the late emperor."

Murong Xue was shocked again.Everything that Yeluyan said was not what she saw. She really felt the turmoil in the harem at this moment.

Yeluyan said: "I just found out that Qiao Xueyi's favorite is General Yasukuni's eldest son. No wonder, after so many years, the injustice of General Yasukuni was cleared."

Murong Xue suddenly realized that the Xu Wei that Qiao Xueyi was talking about last night was actually Xu Ze's elder brother.Thinking of Xu Ze, her hatred for Yeluyan welled up again, her face darkened, she turned around and was about to leave.

"How long are you going to be awkward with me?" He explained so much, but he didn't expect her not only to be angry, but even more angry.

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows: "How dare I quarrel with the emperor, don't you want to live?"

Yeluyan understood, and said sourly: "Still annoying me about Xu Ze? You really miss him."

Murong Xue said angrily: "You are the only one who never forgets in your heart, but you still beat me up and framed me."

Yeluyan immediately said: "Me and Concubine Qiao are not what you think. At that time, my mother intended to marry the Qiao family, but Concubine Qiao was one year older than me, and she was very good-looking. Give her a dressing box carved by me to test her attitude. Concubine Qiao returned the dressing box as a polite refusal, and I have nothing to do with her since then." Speaking of it, this matter is quite interesting. It was a bit embarrassing, he didn't want to tell Murong Xue, but if he didn't explain, she would keep misunderstanding.

"Xu Ze and I are not what you think. Why do you want me to believe you, but you don't believe me?" Murong Xue couldn't help retorting: "Your majesty, you really only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps. Think about it." How many women have come by your side, I didn't kill people out of jealousy like you, at most I just drank wine, shed tears, and then made a few stabs in my heart."

Yeluyan was speechless for a moment.

"I've only been with Xu Ze for a month, and you're so fussy about it, so what should I do if you marry Yu Pingting, share the bed with her, and spend the wedding ceremony with her?"

The resentment and resentment that Murong Xue had held back for a long time was provoked, and she said fiercely:

"You want me to be the only one in my heart, but you are the only one in my heart?"

"You want me to be loyal to you, can you be loyal to me?"

"Since I met you, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to you, how about you?"

Yeluyan said: "I am also wholeheartedly devoted to you."

"What's the point of being single-minded? Never reject anyone who comes." Murong Xue became more and more annoyed as she spoke, she threw off his hand angrily, and even kicked him on the calf.Her movements were done in one go, and she didn't feel right until after kicking. This is the current emperor, not an ordinary man. If she is upset, she will beat her to vent her anger.

Yeluyan was shocked by Murongxue's questioning, he never dreamed that anyone would dare to kick him in this life, when he reacted, he found that Murongxue had fled out of the greenhouse like flying.
