Chapter 135 Shen Qingqiang, You're Losing!
Chapter 135 Shen Qingqiang, You're Losing!
Hualou just returned to the palace, Ru Yang hurriedly greeted her and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."
"What's the matter? What happened?" Hua Lou frowned slightly and asked.
Hua Lou was talking all day, while quickly going back to the house to change clothes.
Ru Xue brought her the teacup, and she was in a hurry to come and go, so she took a sip of the teacup, only to hear Ah Jiu raised her eyebrows, her eyes were filled with a happy smile.
"I heard that His Majesty and the Empress had a quarrel today." Her tone was flirtatious, suddenly taking on the mischievous appearance of a little girl.
Hualou didn't laugh when he heard Donghe and Shen Qingqiang quarreling, but laughed when he saw her.
"If you quarrel, you quarrel, what does it have to do with me?" Hualou said with a slow smile.
Ah Jiu slowly sat beside her, and said with a smile on her face: "Sister Ah doesn't know, this quarrel is because of you, otherwise Ru Yang would say that you are back."
Hua Lou frowned slightly, looked up at Ru Yang and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Didn't the emperor tell you in advance?" Ru Yang looked at Hualou's incomprehensible look, and thought to himself, so it really hadn't been said.
'What have you said, don't keep it up, just say it. "
Ru Yang saw that Hualou really didn't know, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, when discussing matters this afternoon, the Emperor said that he would bring you with him at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
"what?"
After Hualou finished speaking, her face changed slightly, she suddenly didn't understand why Donghe did this, and what was he going to do?
What kind of plan do you want to push her to that place?What kind of results were achieved?
"It's just that everyone objected later, and His Majesty left in anger, and the Queen also got into trouble because of this incident."
Hua Lou pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Is she not pretending to be virtuous?"
In this matter, Hua Lou still has to think about what kind of mystery is there. In fact, she can't understand it, or maybe she can't figure it out. No matter whether Donghe will tell the truth or not, she at least Should have asked.
If Shen Hualou hadn't been resurrected, and if Donghe still didn't know anything, she could completely understand that Donghe just used her as a substitute, just to make up for the guilt and anxiety in his heart, that's all.
But the situation is different now, that person is already alive, although she knows that Shen Hualou's body is not her soul, but for all the people outside, she is Shen Hualou!
If Donghe already knew everything and he still did this, then Hualou would have to think about what Donghe was thinking.
Looking at the pensive look of the painting building, in fact, many people in Xunfeng Palace, including those in this palace, no matter whether they think she is a substitute or Donghe really dotes on her, only the queen has been qualified to accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven over the years. Enter the Royal Ancestral Hall.
However, no matter how much glory Concubine Hui has, she is not a queen, nor is she the mother of Xiliang, she is just a concubine.
The original Shen Qingqiang used to comfort herself like this, but now, when she heard Dong He said that she would bring Concubine Hui to sacrifice to heaven, her mind seemed to be burning with countless fires, and she was so angry gotta tremble.
Take Concubine Hui, and where will she be placed?
Where is it placed!
Hualou just went to the Palace of Government Affairs, and originally asked Donghe to ask, but after going there, the people in the Palace of Government Affairs said that Donghe had gone to Jingyang Palace.
As long as the emperor took Concubine Hui to the Hall of Xunfeng, it proved that Concubine Hui was the emperor's favorite.
Those palace people thought so, and they also thought so, and Ah Jiu stood beside Hualou, she seemed to be thinking about something, Hualou glanced at her, and asked me softly: "Are you thinking about it?" what?"
Ah Jiu slowly looked back at the painting building, pursed her lips and said slowly: "Sister, I can't figure it out either."
Hua Lou listened to her words, and slowly laughed.
"It's rare that there are things you don't understand." Hualou said slowly.
Ru Yang stood aside and looked at the painting building and said, "Your Majesty seems not very happy?"
"It's not something to be happy about in itself." Hualou said lightly.
However, if she wanted to be happy about this matter, perhaps she could give Shen Qingqiang a taste of being neglected and abandoned, and perhaps she should go to Jingyang Palace to make trouble.
It's only on this matter that she has to figure it out before making a decision!
Hualou saw that it was getting dark outside, and she rushed back before having dinner.
"Come on, I'm hungry." After a long silence, Hualou raised his eyes and said softly.
After dinner, Hualou sat for a while and went to bed. She was tired these days, and she would be gloomy when she slept.
She slept until noon the next day, and when she woke up, Donghe was standing in her room, with her back facing her and his hands behind his back. She looked at Donghe's back and wondered what he was looking at. In fact, nothing can be seen behind except the red brick wall, by the way, there are some grasses on the ground, and nothing else.
She was still lying there, unable to see Donghe's expression, but heard Donghe's slow birth and said: "Today, you are the only one who can sleep peacefully until lunch."
Hualou thought Donghe didn't know she was awake, but heard his voice.
"I have nothing to do, so I'm going to sleep." Hua Lou sat up slowly while speaking.She sat on the bed hugging the quilt, Donghe turned around slowly, and frowned slightly seeing her like this. In this palace, she was probably the one who lived the most casual life.
She doesn't pay respects to the queen, doesn't chat with cliques, doesn't go to the attic to listen to the opera, many times she sleeps until the afternoon, then has lunch, and then rests for a while and sleeps on the soft couch in the corridor take a nap.Then have dinner and rest for a while.
This is her state of the day.
If she is idle, she will have nothing to do for a day, what will the other concubines do?Hualou didn't know that she was neither female celebrity nor pruning.
When she woke up, facing Donghe was also so unkempt, Donghe thought, maybe she really didn't care, if she cared about his opinion, she wouldn't be like this.
"Are you ready to wake up?" Donghyuk asked.
"I'm a little hungry." Ru Yang, who was about to come in to wait for her to wash up, heard Hualou's answer, and laughed instantly. What she said meant that if I wasn't hungry, I wouldn't be getting ready to get up.
"Then you continue to sleep. I heard that sleep is very useful when you are hungry." Donghe said coldly, walked up to her and stood in front of her.
Hua Lou hugged the quilt that was crumpled by her, shrunk slowly, and said: "Who said, if this is the case, no one will starve to death. Go to sleep when you are hungry. Anyway, I am sleeping." no."
As soon as she finished her words, Ru Yang walked in with clear water, and she saluted Dong He slowly, and then said: "Your Majesty, please go outside to rest first, and this maidservant will wait for the empress to wash up first."
Donghe walked out slowly, and when he saw Li Qin when he went out of the room, he said, "Let's pass on the meal."
Li Qin listened to her orders and left. When Ru Yang was dressing Hualou, there was a faint smile on her brows and eyes, and Hualou was slightly puzzled. What's so funny?
"What are you laughing at?" Hualou asked.
Ru Yang looked at Hualou's tilted head, and lightly patted it straight: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to worship the heavens."
"Why?" Hua Lou asked.
"The servants also heard the story, but the concubine Zhou should know a lot, you can ask the concubine Zhou later." Ru Yang said.
Hua Lou frowned slightly: "What does this matter have to do with Concubine Zhou?"
"Yesterday's news is that many people objected, but today the emperor doesn't know what he said to General Zhou and the fourth prince, so that they all brought a lot of people together to defect, by the way, and Master Lu." As Ru Yang said, her hands continued to move, quickly combing her long hair.
If this news is true, then really, as Dong He said, she is the only one who can sleep peacefully in this palace until now.
While eating lunch together, Donghe suddenly said, "You don't want to tell me why you went there yesterday?"
Hualou frowned slightly. For the first time in history, Donghe asked her why she went there.
"Your Majesty, don't you already know? Ask me."
"Who is that kid?" Donghyuk asked.
Hualou frowned: "I'm a daughter."
"Why put it in the palace?" Donghe asked.
"Prince An was there when I picked her up, isn't it inconvenient for me to bring her in? There are so many people talking, she cried for three or four days yesterday and didn't eat or sleep, so I went out." Said casually.
But her eyes were not in the bowl, so she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the food that Donghe picked up and still didn't let go.
Dong Ahe frowned and didn't speak, but Ru Xue who was at the side laughed and called out playfully, "Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Hua Lou looked up at her suspiciously.
Ru Yang motioned her to look at the bowl, only to find that she was holding the vegetables and Donghe's chopsticks, and Donghe just looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to loosen the chopsticks without saying a word.
Without changing color, he let go of his chopsticks and said, "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"
"Pfft~" Ah Jiu couldn't hold back his laughter all of a sudden, and Dong He's face turned black instantly.
"It's my fault, the chopsticks were accidentally caught by you, so I'm waiting for you to raise your hand." Donghe looked at it, and after saying this sentence casually, Hualou also replied lightly: "Your Majesty, please Bar."
The little turmoil at the dinner table passed away in a while, and before lunch was finished, the sound of small footsteps came from outside.
Li Qin walked in slowly, stood beside Donghe and said, "Your Majesty, it's the secretary from the clothes room."
Donghe raised his eyes and said, "Wait for a while."
Hualou was wearing a beige floral dress at this time. Generally, court ladies wear such a lot. It is rare for a high-ranking empress to dress so casually. However, the dress on her does not seem to be ordinary. Like Confucianism, with a youthful atmosphere and a sense of playfulness.
Donghe looked at her quietly, it was really different.
Ever since I met her in Scarlet Mist Palace, she has always been strong, and gave people a very different feeling. Maybe it was because she was under someone else's roof at that time, but now she can do whatever she wants.
When Hua Lou heard that Si Yijian was here, she thought that Dong He had come to find them, and she didn't ask what it was, but after Dong He had finished eating, she was still eating slowly, watching Donghe kept looking into her eyes, Hualou asked, "Do I have flowers growing on my face?"
"You think well, are you ready to eat?" Donghe looked at her and said firmly.
"It's almost finished." The sum of the paintings also put down the bowls and chopsticks, only to see Dong He slowly got up and said to Li Qin: "Let them in."
In the painting building, I saw the people in the clothing room patted the team and came in from the door.
"See the emperor, see the concubine Hui!"
"Get up." After Donghe finished speaking, Hualou frowned slightly and looked at the scene in front of him.
Donghe said, "Let's get started."
After saying a word, they all walked towards Hualou slowly, and Hualou looked at them with a frown and asked, "What are you doing?"
The leader was Xu Siyi. She was slightly astonished when she heard Hualou's words, and slowly turned her head to look at Donghe, but she seemed to understand something in a daze. Looking at Hualou, she said: "Mrs. Arrange servants to come and tailor the palace attire for your concubine to wear when offering sacrifices to heaven, please trouble your concubine."
Hualou frowned slightly, looked up at Donghe, and saw Donghe's expression remained the same, Hualou nodded slightly, cooperating with Xu Siyi, but there was a slight Ante in her heart, she couldn't calm down Well, Donghe really convinced those people to let her agree to participate in the ceremony.
After the people in the clothes room had left, Hualou looked at Donghe and asked, "Why?"
"what why?"
Hua Lou's complexion is not very good: "The emperor's way of doing this is pure, if not, please tell me, so that I don't die so ugly."
Originally, there were some things that everyone had tacitly understood, and it was good for everyone to know it well, but she had always been, quietly seeing through without speaking, and then slowly resolved it, but she asked it out of nowhere like this, Donghyuk was silent for a long time.
"If my thoughts are not pure, what do you think I want to do?" Donghe pursed his thin lips slightly. He stood there, and the painting building slowly sat down beside the desk. Guessing a person's mind is the only way to save their lives. It's tiring.
In the past, all her thoughts were used to guessing about others, and she forgot to guess what the person around her was like. He was so kind to her that she couldn't see the flaws. Hualou thought, maybe this is the brilliance. .
Both hypocrisy and falsehood can be regarded as love, maybe there has never been love around her, so she doesn't understand what is true love and what is false.
When reliving her life, she carefully looked at the people in front of her, especially those who were close, and carefully figured out what was true and what was false. After a long time, it seemed to become a habit, but people are lazy. Don't want to live a simpler life?
To put it simply, how can Shen Hualou qualify for a simple life in this life?People always have to pay a price to understand some truths, and then they are once bitten by snakes and afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Donghe watched the change in the expression of the painting building, and remained silent for a long time. Her expression was still bright at the beginning, but gradually became gloomy, and finally returned to calm. He has never guessed this woman's mind. Sometimes you You think she is complicated, but she is simple; you think she is simple, but she is full of calculations and scheming.
Then she pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Donghe and replied coldly: "I know."
I know this sentence, what exactly do I know?
"What do you know?" Donghe also asked coldly.
Hua Lou withdrew his eyes, and said casually: "I know what the emperor is going to do, I understand."
"Do you understand what I want to do?"
"Isn't it that the princes from all over the world are returning, afraid of hurting the one in the mansion in the end? Push me out as a shield." Her words were so calm that it was shocking. Such a woman seems to never be hurt, and will not be afraid.
Donghe walked over slowly: "So, have you thought it all over?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but there are some things, there are gains and losses." Hualou said slowly, then got up and looked at Donghe and asked: "Is the emperor going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation? I want to go to Concubine Zhou to practice sword."
Donghe didn't answer yet, only heard Hualou say: "Ah Jiu, Ru Yang, let's go!"
Hearing her words, he saw the figure disappearing at the door, Donghe's expression changed, he raised his eyes to look at Li Qin at the door and asked, "Is she angry?"
Li Qin frowned: "The old slave can't tell, it seems that he is not angry."
"Then do you think she will be angry?"
Li Qin sighed and said: "Your Majesty, don't be so tight-lipped, Concubine Hui, don't look at her sometimes limp, but she has a strong temper, which is different from ordinary people."
"Follow me to Zhongcui Palace." Donghe said, strode out of the house door, and followed the painting building.
However, Hualou left quickly, and when Donghe arrived at Zhongcui Palace, he saw Ru Yang, Su Yuan and the others were there, while Shen Hualou, Zhou Wei, and Ajiu, who were masters, were no longer there.
"Where are Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui?" Donghe asked.
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui have gone to practice swords." Su Yuan said with a slight salute.
Donghe turned around and left. In fact, he didn't practice any swords. The three of them were lying on the back of the roof and drinking.
Zhou Wei looked at the painting building beside him, with a displeased expression on his face, and asked aloud, "What's wrong? You look so angry?"
No matter how silent the painting building was, she didn't ask Donghe what he said to convince those people, because she knew that she was in trouble again.
"Tell me, what should I do? What should I do?" Hua Lou looked up at the sky when he said this, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be asking someone else.
Zhou Wei glanced sideways at her slightly and said, "Just now I saw that everyone in the clothes room was going that way, and thought you had a busy day today."
Ah Jiu lay on the side and said: "Sister, don't do anything, just sleep like this until the day of offering sacrifices to heaven."
"Actually, I suddenly felt that the outside of the imperial capital must be extremely lively these days." Zhou Wei said it slowly, and Hualou also laughed.
Ah Jiu asked: "Did you princes arrive at the imperial capital?"
"I got the news that they will arrive one after another tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Looking at Hualou's frowning look, Zhou Wei suddenly understood what she was worried about.
"Don't worry, you're not Shen Hualou. Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. However, I want to tell you some bad news. Even people from the Qian family have come." After Zhou Wei finished speaking, Hualou frowned and asked, " What does it have to do with me?"
Zhou Wei rolled her eyes: "You are Qianji now!"
Hualou suddenly sat up straight from the bluestone tile: "What!"
The bluestone tile suddenly slipped, and Ah Jiu grabbed her who was about to fall: "Mother, don't be so scary."
The calm Hualou looked at Zhou Wei and said, "Do you know who is here?"
"I don't know the specific list, but it seems that several people have come." Zhou Wei said lightly.
Because Hualou didn't know about Qianji, he didn't know how to deal with it even more. Wouldn't the best way be to disappear?
But I don't see it, can I really get through it?
During this day, Hua Lou has been sorting out what she should do, in fact, what she should do most recently is to go to Jingyang Palace to see Shen Qingqiang, okay?
Of course, Hualou is also a person who does what he says. He had dinner at Zhou Wei’s place in the evening and practiced swords before going back. After returning, Hualou looked at Ru Yang and said: “Tomorrow you must call me In the morning, I'm going to pay my respects to the empress."
Ru Yang seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure?"
"Of course, if you can't wake up, you must drag me up." When Hualou said it seriously, Ru Yang continued to ask: "Really?"
"Truer than pearls."
So in the Jingyang Palace on the second day, after all the concubines arrived, when they were paying their respects to the queen, the painting building left slowly. Although it was early, it was still later than the others step.
Just as Shen Qingqiang was giving tea to everyone, the painting building slowly appeared at the gate of Jingyang Palace.
"Concubine Hui is here!" This sentence made everyone in the room frown slightly. This person who never appeared in Jingyang Palace from the beginning to the end suddenly appeared here.
But after everyone heard this sentence, they slowly raised their heads to look at Shen Qingqiang, her face changed instantly, maybe in Shen Qingqiang's heart, maybe it would be good if Concubine Hui didn't show up, at least it would be out of sight and out of mind.
But whenever she appeared, Shen Qingqiang's mood would definitely not get better.
After the words finished, I saw Hualou walking in slowly: "It's really early everyone, I specifically told Ru Yang that I was called to wake up today, but it's still too late."
"We have just arrived for a while." Zhou Wei looked at her and said slowly.
Hualou looked at Shen Qingqiang who was sitting on the main seat, walked over slowly, nodded slightly and said: "My concubine pays my respects to the empress, the empress is blessed and safe!"
In fact, everyone knew that as long as Concubine Hui saluted properly, Shen Qingqiang would definitely not call her up, even if she let out the bad breath in her heart, she would not let her get up so easily.
However, Concubine Hui's salute is to nod her head for me, it is not a great gift of kneeling at all.
Shen Qingqiang looked at her and said slowly: "Is it raining red today? I actually saw Concubine Hui appearing in Jingyang Palace at this hour!"
"For such a long time, in fact, except for the day when the empress was entrusted with the queen's concubine, it rained heavily every day. If it rained red, there would be so much resentment. The reason why the empress saw me coming today is a happy event. I'm refreshed, I'll wake up early one day." What Hua Lou said made them all watch Shen Qingqiang's face change and change.
"Concubine Hui hasn't seen her for a few days and she still speaks out. The day after the confinement of the palace is also the day when the emperor ascends the throne. Could it be that Concubine Hui also said that the emperor has provoked the anger of the sky?" Shen Qingqiang smiled, and there was a needle in her words.
"I haven't thought that when the emperor ascends the throne, I will definitely convey the questions of the empress to the emperor's ears. In fact, I really want to know the answer."
Hualou stood there, watching Shen Qingqiang's face turning blue and purple.
After Hualou's words fell, only Li Qin's voice was heard outside the house: "The emperor is here!"
Everyone looked towards the door slowly, only to see Donghe in bright yellow stepping forward, looking at Shen Hualou who was still standing, and said slowly: "You are late, you are being punished." standing?"
Although the words were ordinary, they were not in the tone of blaming her for being late.
Hualou turned to look at Donghe, and said calmly: "You came later than me, so you have to stand."
After Donghe entered, the people sitting on both sides got up one after another, saluted and said: "The concubine sees the emperor!"
"Everyone sit down, see what Concubine Hui means, I will stand with her too late." Donghe said slowly, but how could Shen Qingqiang have the guts to let Donghe stand here while they sit?
This is Shen Qingqiang walking over slowly, standing in front of Donghe and saying: "Sister Hui Concubine is joking, she has just arrived and is preparing to give tea, everyone sit down."
At this moment, Shen Qingqiang slowly supported Hualou's hand, pulled her and said, "Come and sit down."
Hua Lou felt chills for a while, but his expression did not change, but Hua Lou is such an easy person to dismiss?
She looked at Donghe and said, "The next time I come late, the emperor must remember to come, otherwise I will be standing all morning. Today, I have been honored by the emperor. One seat."
When Hualou said these words, Donghe glared at her, but she was indescribably pampered in the eyes of others. You see, she never saluted like Donghe from the beginning to the end, and she was not polite. What you want is what you want, it seems that there is no courtesy.
But even if it was like this without any courtesy, Donghe didn't say anything about her.
Donghe just sat for a while symbolically and left, leaving the group behind.
After Donghe walked for a while, Hualou and the others slowly dispersed. Donghe came too fast, so she broke up without saying anything. When everyone was about to leave, Shen Qingqiang yelled to stop. The painting building.
"Sister Hui Concubine, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea." Shen Qingqiang's words flowed out in rhythmic tones, and the painting building had already stepped out of the footsteps and stopped slowly.
She slowly turned around and looked at Shen Qingqiang and said: "I always thought that the empress is busy, so it's not easy to disturb her. If the empress is free, it's okay."
Listening to their words, Zhou Wei frowned slightly, and slowly looked back at Hualou, who nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay.
Concubine Liu also smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at Zhou Wei and said, "Let's go, we haven't had tea together for a few days, let's have a drink."
Zhou Wei frowned slightly, but she also knew that Liu Chenxi was referring to Shen Qingqiang, so she said, "I don't have time to drink tea with you today, but it's okay to sit down for a while."
The two left slowly while talking, Liu Chenxi seemed to hesitate to speak, Zhou Wei frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"Looking at the emperor today, I went there on purpose." Concubine Liu said lightly.
Zhou Wei smiled and did not speak for a long time.
Concubine Liu went on to say: "That day I heard that the Empress Dowager was having trouble, but in the end the Emperor decided to take Concubine Hui to sacrifice to the heavens. It is estimated that Concubine Hui will be favored forever."
"Although it is a great favor, there is no one in this palace who often escapes death like her." Zhou Wei raised her eyebrows slowly and looked at Liu Chenxi and said.
"It seems to be the case."
"So, when you don't give, you don't envy." After Zhou Wei finished speaking, Liu Chenxi looked at her and said, "You seem to have changed a lot recently, especially when you are with her."
Listening to Liu Chenxi's words, Zhou Wei frowned slightly, she seemed to have really changed a lot.
"In the beginning, we fought against each other because we didn't understand. In this palace, it's rare to meet someone who you can make friends with." Zhou Wei said this from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Chenxi was thoughtful, and after being silent for a while, looked at Zhou Wei and said, "It seems that you are really good."
Zhou Wei didn't say anything more, Liu Chenxi and Zhou Wei have always been able to get along, Liu Chenxi's attitude is a bit confusing, Zhou Wei rarely guesses a person's mind, and there is no one worth her to go to Guess, it's because Liu Chenxi asked the painting building to perform on the night of the Chinese New Year, which made her a little contemplative.
After seeing that everyone had left, Shen Qingqiang looked at Qi Xiang behind her and said, "Bring tea to Concubine Hui."
"Yes." Qi Xiang replied softly.
After seeing Qi Xiang leave, Shen Qingqiang also sat down slowly opposite the painting building.
It's been a long time, and she and Shen Qingqiang haven't sat face to face like this.
Looking closely at Shen Qingqiang, her face remains the same, it seems that there is not much change, but she looked pure and pure in the past, but now she looks more dignified, but the makeup on her face is heavier.
And Shen Qingqiang looked at the picture building looking at her fixedly, the light in her eyes changed slightly, but she didn't speak.
But Hualou said slowly: "I have heard that the empress and the emperor have a deep love for each other. They have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and then the emperor made you queen as soon as he ascended the throne. I was so envious when I heard it."
Shen Qingqiang looked at the woman in front of her, it was as if she had swallowed a needle abruptly, she couldn't spit it out, and couldn't swallow it, it just stuck in her throat.
Before she could fight back, she heard another voice saying: "It's just mediocre now."
After Hualou finished speaking, Qi Xiang also came in with a teacup. Hualou took the teacup and made bitter tea. Is this trying to tell her to taste bitter before sweet?She just wanted to block her with her words.
"Looking at Concubine Hui's appearance, do you feel that you have the chance to win?" Shen Qingqiang said in a soft voice while holding the teacup and blowing softly.
Hua Lou gently put the teacup aside, and said slowly: "Where did you start talking about?"
"I just saw a smile in Concubine Hui's eyes, and thought it must be very happy."
Hearing Shen Qingqiang's words, Hualou smiled brighter and opened his lips and said, "Then what about the Empress? How many chances are there?"
"Odds? I have never participated in this gamble, so what are the chances of winning?" Shen Qingqiang looked at the painting building with winking eyes, her words were also indescribably contemptuous, and she just wanted to tell the painting building that she No matter how rampant she is, she is just a concubine, and she, Shen Qingqiang, will always be a queen.
For a long time, Hualou felt that being a concubine in this palace is not a big deal, she is just a concubine of an ordinary family and a concubine of the royal family, so she almost never mentioned her concubine status. No it's me.
And Shen Qingqiang, now there is only this little capital left?
"Really? The empress did not participate in our bet, but just bet with the emperor, that is, to bet that the emperor will not abolish the empress?" Hua Lou did not look at Shen Qingqiang after finishing speaking, but slowly lowered his head and put the case on the side. Bring up the teacup on the table.
She gently blew on the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip slowly, did not hear Shen Qingqiang's words, and continued: "Your Majesty, the tea in this palace is really bitter."
"Looking at Concubine Hui's younger sister is much younger than Ben Gong, I guess my sister has never heard of the old saying that bitterness comes first before sweetness." Shen Qingqiang looked at Hualou, who didn't speak for a long time, waiting for her to drink a few sips of tea , then slowly looked up at Shen Qingqiang and said, "No, I've heard of it, but I don't believe it!"
"Bitter before sweet? Is the empress trying to tell me that the emperor lived a hard life when he was the prince? I remember that the person who followed the prince was not Shen Qingqiang, but Shen Hualou! That is the fourth sister of the empress! "
When Shen Qingqiang heard the three words of Shen Hualou, her face did not change, but the light in her eyes changed.
Hualou continued: "Empress, how does it feel to climb up on the shoulders of my own sister?"
"You are presumptuous!" Shen Qingqiang said these words, Hualou smiled slowly.
"What kind of deep love between husband and wife, what kind of childhood sweetheart, it's just the self-righteousness of you bitch! I am often presumptuous, and even in front of Donghe, I am often presumptuous, and you, Shen Qingqiang, you are the queen, enjoy yourself as the queen He is so honorable, how dare you act presumptuously in front of him!" Hualou spoke very bluntly, staring at Shen Qingqiang's face, she said firmly: "Don't say, your face is the same as before you entered the palace. There's a difference."
Shen Qingqiang looked at the woman in front of her, and her anger surged up one after another: "Who the hell are you?"
"Empress, have you ever thought that he loved Shen Hualou when she was not Shen Hualou, and she still loved you when she was not Shen Hualou, but you have always been Shen Qingqiang, but he can no longer love you!" Lou was laughing while talking, in fact, she never understood, but the situation in front of her is that Shen Qingqiang has fallen out of favor, and she can laugh at her as much as she wants, and make herself feel better on this long road It's also good.
"Love? You told Ben Gong that you loved her? He loved her, but she died anyway, and this is the end!" Shen Qingqiang's voice was cold and decisive, and the smile on the corner of Hualou's mouth remained the same as he watched her.
"This palace doesn't lack what it needs, and it happens to be what I don't have, so, this match, Shen Qingqiang, you are doomed!"
Hualou's expression at this time was only determined and cruel, with venomous needles in his eyes.
Shen Qingqiang was intimidated by Hualou's expression, and she didn't speak for a long time, but Hualou looked at her and said slowly: "You teamed up to kill her child, broke her leg, and finally threw her into the mess. Burial mound! However, I always thought this was the worst ending, but a few days ago I saw scars on that face, Empress, you are so cruel, you really have the heart to do it! She is alive Sometimes I still call you Second Sister!"
Shen Qingqiang's face was pale and flustered at this moment: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
she snapped.
"No, I'm not talking nonsense, I really saw it, you let me think about how many scars there are." Hua Lou frowned slightly as he said, as if he was really thinking about how many scars there were on the corpse's face. scar.
After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said: "It seems to be seven, and it seems to be eight. I was going to take a closer look, but I was too scared, so I took a quick look."
"Qianji! Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm really not talking nonsense. In the past, I thought she was under house arrest by the emperor, but later I found out that the emperor didn't know where she was. However, Shen Qingqiang, do you know? Donghe is looking for her body, and you , except for the phoenix crown of the Empress! You said you were pregnant and were killed by Shen Hualou, but that day you had a stomachache. I thought it was the sequelae of a miscarriage. Gossip, slandering the empress, you haven’t conceived yet! When I think about Donghe’s face now, I still think it’s wonderful! Shen Qingqiang, in this game, don’t say you didn’t take part, even if you took part in it! It is also doomed to a crushing defeat!" After Hualou finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qingqiang viciously, but her smile was brighter than summer flowers.
She watched Shen Qingqiang's face turn blue and white, and the teacup in her hand slowly fell from her hand, and the tea dregs and water stains in it splashed all over Shen Qingqiang's body.
"Shen Qingqiang, you are nothing with this phoenix crown!" Hua Lou said, she stretched her hand to Shen Qingqiang's head, and tore off the phoenix crown on her bun.
Shen Qingqiang screamed, her phoenix crown was torn off by the painting building, and there were countless strands of hair embedded in it, all pulled from her head.
Hualou watched her throw the phoenix crown on the ground and stepped on it. Hualou had to admit that the texture was good, and her feet hurt from poking it.
While Shen Qingqiang wanted to support the messy things on her head, she also wanted someone to stop the painting building, but even if she stopped it, so what, now she is protected by Donghe, and she has a sharp mouth, but it is She couldn't argue with anything.
Hualou strode out of the gate of Jingyang Palace, feeling a chill in her heart, Donghe wanted to use her, so who would she send her anger towards?It should not be easy for him to coax Shen Qingqiang!
She also said that there are gains and losses!
Remembering Shen Qingqiang's panicked expression when he mentioned that the scars on his face were just now, the corner of Hualou's mouth smiled brighter, and said with a soft smile, Shen Qingqiang, you should not be so panicked in the Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven!
(End of this chapter)
Hualou just returned to the palace, Ru Yang hurriedly greeted her and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."
"What's the matter? What happened?" Hua Lou frowned slightly and asked.
Hua Lou was talking all day, while quickly going back to the house to change clothes.
Ru Xue brought her the teacup, and she was in a hurry to come and go, so she took a sip of the teacup, only to hear Ah Jiu raised her eyebrows, her eyes were filled with a happy smile.
"I heard that His Majesty and the Empress had a quarrel today." Her tone was flirtatious, suddenly taking on the mischievous appearance of a little girl.
Hualou didn't laugh when he heard Donghe and Shen Qingqiang quarreling, but laughed when he saw her.
"If you quarrel, you quarrel, what does it have to do with me?" Hualou said with a slow smile.
Ah Jiu slowly sat beside her, and said with a smile on her face: "Sister Ah doesn't know, this quarrel is because of you, otherwise Ru Yang would say that you are back."
Hua Lou frowned slightly, looked up at Ru Yang and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Didn't the emperor tell you in advance?" Ru Yang looked at Hualou's incomprehensible look, and thought to himself, so it really hadn't been said.
'What have you said, don't keep it up, just say it. "
Ru Yang saw that Hualou really didn't know, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, when discussing matters this afternoon, the Emperor said that he would bring you with him at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
"what?"
After Hualou finished speaking, her face changed slightly, she suddenly didn't understand why Donghe did this, and what was he going to do?
What kind of plan do you want to push her to that place?What kind of results were achieved?
"It's just that everyone objected later, and His Majesty left in anger, and the Queen also got into trouble because of this incident."
Hua Lou pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Is she not pretending to be virtuous?"
In this matter, Hua Lou still has to think about what kind of mystery is there. In fact, she can't understand it, or maybe she can't figure it out. No matter whether Donghe will tell the truth or not, she at least Should have asked.
If Shen Hualou hadn't been resurrected, and if Donghe still didn't know anything, she could completely understand that Donghe just used her as a substitute, just to make up for the guilt and anxiety in his heart, that's all.
But the situation is different now, that person is already alive, although she knows that Shen Hualou's body is not her soul, but for all the people outside, she is Shen Hualou!
If Donghe already knew everything and he still did this, then Hualou would have to think about what Donghe was thinking.
Looking at the pensive look of the painting building, in fact, many people in Xunfeng Palace, including those in this palace, no matter whether they think she is a substitute or Donghe really dotes on her, only the queen has been qualified to accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven over the years. Enter the Royal Ancestral Hall.
However, no matter how much glory Concubine Hui has, she is not a queen, nor is she the mother of Xiliang, she is just a concubine.
The original Shen Qingqiang used to comfort herself like this, but now, when she heard Dong He said that she would bring Concubine Hui to sacrifice to heaven, her mind seemed to be burning with countless fires, and she was so angry gotta tremble.
Take Concubine Hui, and where will she be placed?
Where is it placed!
Hualou just went to the Palace of Government Affairs, and originally asked Donghe to ask, but after going there, the people in the Palace of Government Affairs said that Donghe had gone to Jingyang Palace.
As long as the emperor took Concubine Hui to the Hall of Xunfeng, it proved that Concubine Hui was the emperor's favorite.
Those palace people thought so, and they also thought so, and Ah Jiu stood beside Hualou, she seemed to be thinking about something, Hualou glanced at her, and asked me softly: "Are you thinking about it?" what?"
Ah Jiu slowly looked back at the painting building, pursed her lips and said slowly: "Sister, I can't figure it out either."
Hua Lou listened to her words, and slowly laughed.
"It's rare that there are things you don't understand." Hualou said slowly.
Ru Yang stood aside and looked at the painting building and said, "Your Majesty seems not very happy?"
"It's not something to be happy about in itself." Hualou said lightly.
However, if she wanted to be happy about this matter, perhaps she could give Shen Qingqiang a taste of being neglected and abandoned, and perhaps she should go to Jingyang Palace to make trouble.
It's only on this matter that she has to figure it out before making a decision!
Hualou saw that it was getting dark outside, and she rushed back before having dinner.
"Come on, I'm hungry." After a long silence, Hualou raised his eyes and said softly.
After dinner, Hualou sat for a while and went to bed. She was tired these days, and she would be gloomy when she slept.
She slept until noon the next day, and when she woke up, Donghe was standing in her room, with her back facing her and his hands behind his back. She looked at Donghe's back and wondered what he was looking at. In fact, nothing can be seen behind except the red brick wall, by the way, there are some grasses on the ground, and nothing else.
She was still lying there, unable to see Donghe's expression, but heard Donghe's slow birth and said: "Today, you are the only one who can sleep peacefully until lunch."
Hualou thought Donghe didn't know she was awake, but heard his voice.
"I have nothing to do, so I'm going to sleep." Hua Lou sat up slowly while speaking.She sat on the bed hugging the quilt, Donghe turned around slowly, and frowned slightly seeing her like this. In this palace, she was probably the one who lived the most casual life.
She doesn't pay respects to the queen, doesn't chat with cliques, doesn't go to the attic to listen to the opera, many times she sleeps until the afternoon, then has lunch, and then rests for a while and sleeps on the soft couch in the corridor take a nap.Then have dinner and rest for a while.
This is her state of the day.
If she is idle, she will have nothing to do for a day, what will the other concubines do?Hualou didn't know that she was neither female celebrity nor pruning.
When she woke up, facing Donghe was also so unkempt, Donghe thought, maybe she really didn't care, if she cared about his opinion, she wouldn't be like this.
"Are you ready to wake up?" Donghyuk asked.
"I'm a little hungry." Ru Yang, who was about to come in to wait for her to wash up, heard Hualou's answer, and laughed instantly. What she said meant that if I wasn't hungry, I wouldn't be getting ready to get up.
"Then you continue to sleep. I heard that sleep is very useful when you are hungry." Donghe said coldly, walked up to her and stood in front of her.
Hua Lou hugged the quilt that was crumpled by her, shrunk slowly, and said: "Who said, if this is the case, no one will starve to death. Go to sleep when you are hungry. Anyway, I am sleeping." no."
As soon as she finished her words, Ru Yang walked in with clear water, and she saluted Dong He slowly, and then said: "Your Majesty, please go outside to rest first, and this maidservant will wait for the empress to wash up first."
Donghe walked out slowly, and when he saw Li Qin when he went out of the room, he said, "Let's pass on the meal."
Li Qin listened to her orders and left. When Ru Yang was dressing Hualou, there was a faint smile on her brows and eyes, and Hualou was slightly puzzled. What's so funny?
"What are you laughing at?" Hualou asked.
Ru Yang looked at Hualou's tilted head, and lightly patted it straight: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to worship the heavens."
"Why?" Hua Lou asked.
"The servants also heard the story, but the concubine Zhou should know a lot, you can ask the concubine Zhou later." Ru Yang said.
Hua Lou frowned slightly: "What does this matter have to do with Concubine Zhou?"
"Yesterday's news is that many people objected, but today the emperor doesn't know what he said to General Zhou and the fourth prince, so that they all brought a lot of people together to defect, by the way, and Master Lu." As Ru Yang said, her hands continued to move, quickly combing her long hair.
If this news is true, then really, as Dong He said, she is the only one who can sleep peacefully in this palace until now.
While eating lunch together, Donghe suddenly said, "You don't want to tell me why you went there yesterday?"
Hualou frowned slightly. For the first time in history, Donghe asked her why she went there.
"Your Majesty, don't you already know? Ask me."
"Who is that kid?" Donghyuk asked.
Hualou frowned: "I'm a daughter."
"Why put it in the palace?" Donghe asked.
"Prince An was there when I picked her up, isn't it inconvenient for me to bring her in? There are so many people talking, she cried for three or four days yesterday and didn't eat or sleep, so I went out." Said casually.
But her eyes were not in the bowl, so she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the food that Donghe picked up and still didn't let go.
Dong Ahe frowned and didn't speak, but Ru Xue who was at the side laughed and called out playfully, "Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Hua Lou looked up at her suspiciously.
Ru Yang motioned her to look at the bowl, only to find that she was holding the vegetables and Donghe's chopsticks, and Donghe just looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to loosen the chopsticks without saying a word.
Without changing color, he let go of his chopsticks and said, "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"
"Pfft~" Ah Jiu couldn't hold back his laughter all of a sudden, and Dong He's face turned black instantly.
"It's my fault, the chopsticks were accidentally caught by you, so I'm waiting for you to raise your hand." Donghe looked at it, and after saying this sentence casually, Hualou also replied lightly: "Your Majesty, please Bar."
The little turmoil at the dinner table passed away in a while, and before lunch was finished, the sound of small footsteps came from outside.
Li Qin walked in slowly, stood beside Donghe and said, "Your Majesty, it's the secretary from the clothes room."
Donghe raised his eyes and said, "Wait for a while."
Hualou was wearing a beige floral dress at this time. Generally, court ladies wear such a lot. It is rare for a high-ranking empress to dress so casually. However, the dress on her does not seem to be ordinary. Like Confucianism, with a youthful atmosphere and a sense of playfulness.
Donghe looked at her quietly, it was really different.
Ever since I met her in Scarlet Mist Palace, she has always been strong, and gave people a very different feeling. Maybe it was because she was under someone else's roof at that time, but now she can do whatever she wants.
When Hua Lou heard that Si Yijian was here, she thought that Dong He had come to find them, and she didn't ask what it was, but after Dong He had finished eating, she was still eating slowly, watching Donghe kept looking into her eyes, Hualou asked, "Do I have flowers growing on my face?"
"You think well, are you ready to eat?" Donghe looked at her and said firmly.
"It's almost finished." The sum of the paintings also put down the bowls and chopsticks, only to see Dong He slowly got up and said to Li Qin: "Let them in."
In the painting building, I saw the people in the clothing room patted the team and came in from the door.
"See the emperor, see the concubine Hui!"
"Get up." After Donghe finished speaking, Hualou frowned slightly and looked at the scene in front of him.
Donghe said, "Let's get started."
After saying a word, they all walked towards Hualou slowly, and Hualou looked at them with a frown and asked, "What are you doing?"
The leader was Xu Siyi. She was slightly astonished when she heard Hualou's words, and slowly turned her head to look at Donghe, but she seemed to understand something in a daze. Looking at Hualou, she said: "Mrs. Arrange servants to come and tailor the palace attire for your concubine to wear when offering sacrifices to heaven, please trouble your concubine."
Hualou frowned slightly, looked up at Donghe, and saw Donghe's expression remained the same, Hualou nodded slightly, cooperating with Xu Siyi, but there was a slight Ante in her heart, she couldn't calm down Well, Donghe really convinced those people to let her agree to participate in the ceremony.
After the people in the clothes room had left, Hualou looked at Donghe and asked, "Why?"
"what why?"
Hua Lou's complexion is not very good: "The emperor's way of doing this is pure, if not, please tell me, so that I don't die so ugly."
Originally, there were some things that everyone had tacitly understood, and it was good for everyone to know it well, but she had always been, quietly seeing through without speaking, and then slowly resolved it, but she asked it out of nowhere like this, Donghyuk was silent for a long time.
"If my thoughts are not pure, what do you think I want to do?" Donghe pursed his thin lips slightly. He stood there, and the painting building slowly sat down beside the desk. Guessing a person's mind is the only way to save their lives. It's tiring.
In the past, all her thoughts were used to guessing about others, and she forgot to guess what the person around her was like. He was so kind to her that she couldn't see the flaws. Hualou thought, maybe this is the brilliance. .
Both hypocrisy and falsehood can be regarded as love, maybe there has never been love around her, so she doesn't understand what is true love and what is false.
When reliving her life, she carefully looked at the people in front of her, especially those who were close, and carefully figured out what was true and what was false. After a long time, it seemed to become a habit, but people are lazy. Don't want to live a simpler life?
To put it simply, how can Shen Hualou qualify for a simple life in this life?People always have to pay a price to understand some truths, and then they are once bitten by snakes and afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Donghe watched the change in the expression of the painting building, and remained silent for a long time. Her expression was still bright at the beginning, but gradually became gloomy, and finally returned to calm. He has never guessed this woman's mind. Sometimes you You think she is complicated, but she is simple; you think she is simple, but she is full of calculations and scheming.
Then she pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Donghe and replied coldly: "I know."
I know this sentence, what exactly do I know?
"What do you know?" Donghe also asked coldly.
Hua Lou withdrew his eyes, and said casually: "I know what the emperor is going to do, I understand."
"Do you understand what I want to do?"
"Isn't it that the princes from all over the world are returning, afraid of hurting the one in the mansion in the end? Push me out as a shield." Her words were so calm that it was shocking. Such a woman seems to never be hurt, and will not be afraid.
Donghe walked over slowly: "So, have you thought it all over?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but there are some things, there are gains and losses." Hualou said slowly, then got up and looked at Donghe and asked: "Is the emperor going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation? I want to go to Concubine Zhou to practice sword."
Donghe didn't answer yet, only heard Hualou say: "Ah Jiu, Ru Yang, let's go!"
Hearing her words, he saw the figure disappearing at the door, Donghe's expression changed, he raised his eyes to look at Li Qin at the door and asked, "Is she angry?"
Li Qin frowned: "The old slave can't tell, it seems that he is not angry."
"Then do you think she will be angry?"
Li Qin sighed and said: "Your Majesty, don't be so tight-lipped, Concubine Hui, don't look at her sometimes limp, but she has a strong temper, which is different from ordinary people."
"Follow me to Zhongcui Palace." Donghe said, strode out of the house door, and followed the painting building.
However, Hualou left quickly, and when Donghe arrived at Zhongcui Palace, he saw Ru Yang, Su Yuan and the others were there, while Shen Hualou, Zhou Wei, and Ajiu, who were masters, were no longer there.
"Where are Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui?" Donghe asked.
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui have gone to practice swords." Su Yuan said with a slight salute.
Donghe turned around and left. In fact, he didn't practice any swords. The three of them were lying on the back of the roof and drinking.
Zhou Wei looked at the painting building beside him, with a displeased expression on his face, and asked aloud, "What's wrong? You look so angry?"
No matter how silent the painting building was, she didn't ask Donghe what he said to convince those people, because she knew that she was in trouble again.
"Tell me, what should I do? What should I do?" Hua Lou looked up at the sky when he said this, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be asking someone else.
Zhou Wei glanced sideways at her slightly and said, "Just now I saw that everyone in the clothes room was going that way, and thought you had a busy day today."
Ah Jiu lay on the side and said: "Sister, don't do anything, just sleep like this until the day of offering sacrifices to heaven."
"Actually, I suddenly felt that the outside of the imperial capital must be extremely lively these days." Zhou Wei said it slowly, and Hualou also laughed.
Ah Jiu asked: "Did you princes arrive at the imperial capital?"
"I got the news that they will arrive one after another tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Looking at Hualou's frowning look, Zhou Wei suddenly understood what she was worried about.
"Don't worry, you're not Shen Hualou. Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. However, I want to tell you some bad news. Even people from the Qian family have come." After Zhou Wei finished speaking, Hualou frowned and asked, " What does it have to do with me?"
Zhou Wei rolled her eyes: "You are Qianji now!"
Hualou suddenly sat up straight from the bluestone tile: "What!"
The bluestone tile suddenly slipped, and Ah Jiu grabbed her who was about to fall: "Mother, don't be so scary."
The calm Hualou looked at Zhou Wei and said, "Do you know who is here?"
"I don't know the specific list, but it seems that several people have come." Zhou Wei said lightly.
Because Hualou didn't know about Qianji, he didn't know how to deal with it even more. Wouldn't the best way be to disappear?
But I don't see it, can I really get through it?
During this day, Hua Lou has been sorting out what she should do, in fact, what she should do most recently is to go to Jingyang Palace to see Shen Qingqiang, okay?
Of course, Hualou is also a person who does what he says. He had dinner at Zhou Wei’s place in the evening and practiced swords before going back. After returning, Hualou looked at Ru Yang and said: “Tomorrow you must call me In the morning, I'm going to pay my respects to the empress."
Ru Yang seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure?"
"Of course, if you can't wake up, you must drag me up." When Hualou said it seriously, Ru Yang continued to ask: "Really?"
"Truer than pearls."
So in the Jingyang Palace on the second day, after all the concubines arrived, when they were paying their respects to the queen, the painting building left slowly. Although it was early, it was still later than the others step.
Just as Shen Qingqiang was giving tea to everyone, the painting building slowly appeared at the gate of Jingyang Palace.
"Concubine Hui is here!" This sentence made everyone in the room frown slightly. This person who never appeared in Jingyang Palace from the beginning to the end suddenly appeared here.
But after everyone heard this sentence, they slowly raised their heads to look at Shen Qingqiang, her face changed instantly, maybe in Shen Qingqiang's heart, maybe it would be good if Concubine Hui didn't show up, at least it would be out of sight and out of mind.
But whenever she appeared, Shen Qingqiang's mood would definitely not get better.
After the words finished, I saw Hualou walking in slowly: "It's really early everyone, I specifically told Ru Yang that I was called to wake up today, but it's still too late."
"We have just arrived for a while." Zhou Wei looked at her and said slowly.
Hualou looked at Shen Qingqiang who was sitting on the main seat, walked over slowly, nodded slightly and said: "My concubine pays my respects to the empress, the empress is blessed and safe!"
In fact, everyone knew that as long as Concubine Hui saluted properly, Shen Qingqiang would definitely not call her up, even if she let out the bad breath in her heart, she would not let her get up so easily.
However, Concubine Hui's salute is to nod her head for me, it is not a great gift of kneeling at all.
Shen Qingqiang looked at her and said slowly: "Is it raining red today? I actually saw Concubine Hui appearing in Jingyang Palace at this hour!"
"For such a long time, in fact, except for the day when the empress was entrusted with the queen's concubine, it rained heavily every day. If it rained red, there would be so much resentment. The reason why the empress saw me coming today is a happy event. I'm refreshed, I'll wake up early one day." What Hua Lou said made them all watch Shen Qingqiang's face change and change.
"Concubine Hui hasn't seen her for a few days and she still speaks out. The day after the confinement of the palace is also the day when the emperor ascends the throne. Could it be that Concubine Hui also said that the emperor has provoked the anger of the sky?" Shen Qingqiang smiled, and there was a needle in her words.
"I haven't thought that when the emperor ascends the throne, I will definitely convey the questions of the empress to the emperor's ears. In fact, I really want to know the answer."
Hualou stood there, watching Shen Qingqiang's face turning blue and purple.
After Hualou's words fell, only Li Qin's voice was heard outside the house: "The emperor is here!"
Everyone looked towards the door slowly, only to see Donghe in bright yellow stepping forward, looking at Shen Hualou who was still standing, and said slowly: "You are late, you are being punished." standing?"
Although the words were ordinary, they were not in the tone of blaming her for being late.
Hualou turned to look at Donghe, and said calmly: "You came later than me, so you have to stand."
After Donghe entered, the people sitting on both sides got up one after another, saluted and said: "The concubine sees the emperor!"
"Everyone sit down, see what Concubine Hui means, I will stand with her too late." Donghe said slowly, but how could Shen Qingqiang have the guts to let Donghe stand here while they sit?
This is Shen Qingqiang walking over slowly, standing in front of Donghe and saying: "Sister Hui Concubine is joking, she has just arrived and is preparing to give tea, everyone sit down."
At this moment, Shen Qingqiang slowly supported Hualou's hand, pulled her and said, "Come and sit down."
Hua Lou felt chills for a while, but his expression did not change, but Hua Lou is such an easy person to dismiss?
She looked at Donghe and said, "The next time I come late, the emperor must remember to come, otherwise I will be standing all morning. Today, I have been honored by the emperor. One seat."
When Hualou said these words, Donghe glared at her, but she was indescribably pampered in the eyes of others. You see, she never saluted like Donghe from the beginning to the end, and she was not polite. What you want is what you want, it seems that there is no courtesy.
But even if it was like this without any courtesy, Donghe didn't say anything about her.
Donghe just sat for a while symbolically and left, leaving the group behind.
After Donghe walked for a while, Hualou and the others slowly dispersed. Donghe came too fast, so she broke up without saying anything. When everyone was about to leave, Shen Qingqiang yelled to stop. The painting building.
"Sister Hui Concubine, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea." Shen Qingqiang's words flowed out in rhythmic tones, and the painting building had already stepped out of the footsteps and stopped slowly.
She slowly turned around and looked at Shen Qingqiang and said: "I always thought that the empress is busy, so it's not easy to disturb her. If the empress is free, it's okay."
Listening to their words, Zhou Wei frowned slightly, and slowly looked back at Hualou, who nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay.
Concubine Liu also smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at Zhou Wei and said, "Let's go, we haven't had tea together for a few days, let's have a drink."
Zhou Wei frowned slightly, but she also knew that Liu Chenxi was referring to Shen Qingqiang, so she said, "I don't have time to drink tea with you today, but it's okay to sit down for a while."
The two left slowly while talking, Liu Chenxi seemed to hesitate to speak, Zhou Wei frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"Looking at the emperor today, I went there on purpose." Concubine Liu said lightly.
Zhou Wei smiled and did not speak for a long time.
Concubine Liu went on to say: "That day I heard that the Empress Dowager was having trouble, but in the end the Emperor decided to take Concubine Hui to sacrifice to the heavens. It is estimated that Concubine Hui will be favored forever."
"Although it is a great favor, there is no one in this palace who often escapes death like her." Zhou Wei raised her eyebrows slowly and looked at Liu Chenxi and said.
"It seems to be the case."
"So, when you don't give, you don't envy." After Zhou Wei finished speaking, Liu Chenxi looked at her and said, "You seem to have changed a lot recently, especially when you are with her."
Listening to Liu Chenxi's words, Zhou Wei frowned slightly, she seemed to have really changed a lot.
"In the beginning, we fought against each other because we didn't understand. In this palace, it's rare to meet someone who you can make friends with." Zhou Wei said this from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Chenxi was thoughtful, and after being silent for a while, looked at Zhou Wei and said, "It seems that you are really good."
Zhou Wei didn't say anything more, Liu Chenxi and Zhou Wei have always been able to get along, Liu Chenxi's attitude is a bit confusing, Zhou Wei rarely guesses a person's mind, and there is no one worth her to go to Guess, it's because Liu Chenxi asked the painting building to perform on the night of the Chinese New Year, which made her a little contemplative.
After seeing that everyone had left, Shen Qingqiang looked at Qi Xiang behind her and said, "Bring tea to Concubine Hui."
"Yes." Qi Xiang replied softly.
After seeing Qi Xiang leave, Shen Qingqiang also sat down slowly opposite the painting building.
It's been a long time, and she and Shen Qingqiang haven't sat face to face like this.
Looking closely at Shen Qingqiang, her face remains the same, it seems that there is not much change, but she looked pure and pure in the past, but now she looks more dignified, but the makeup on her face is heavier.
And Shen Qingqiang looked at the picture building looking at her fixedly, the light in her eyes changed slightly, but she didn't speak.
But Hualou said slowly: "I have heard that the empress and the emperor have a deep love for each other. They have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and then the emperor made you queen as soon as he ascended the throne. I was so envious when I heard it."
Shen Qingqiang looked at the woman in front of her, it was as if she had swallowed a needle abruptly, she couldn't spit it out, and couldn't swallow it, it just stuck in her throat.
Before she could fight back, she heard another voice saying: "It's just mediocre now."
After Hualou finished speaking, Qi Xiang also came in with a teacup. Hualou took the teacup and made bitter tea. Is this trying to tell her to taste bitter before sweet?She just wanted to block her with her words.
"Looking at Concubine Hui's appearance, do you feel that you have the chance to win?" Shen Qingqiang said in a soft voice while holding the teacup and blowing softly.
Hua Lou gently put the teacup aside, and said slowly: "Where did you start talking about?"
"I just saw a smile in Concubine Hui's eyes, and thought it must be very happy."
Hearing Shen Qingqiang's words, Hualou smiled brighter and opened his lips and said, "Then what about the Empress? How many chances are there?"
"Odds? I have never participated in this gamble, so what are the chances of winning?" Shen Qingqiang looked at the painting building with winking eyes, her words were also indescribably contemptuous, and she just wanted to tell the painting building that she No matter how rampant she is, she is just a concubine, and she, Shen Qingqiang, will always be a queen.
For a long time, Hualou felt that being a concubine in this palace is not a big deal, she is just a concubine of an ordinary family and a concubine of the royal family, so she almost never mentioned her concubine status. No it's me.
And Shen Qingqiang, now there is only this little capital left?
"Really? The empress did not participate in our bet, but just bet with the emperor, that is, to bet that the emperor will not abolish the empress?" Hua Lou did not look at Shen Qingqiang after finishing speaking, but slowly lowered his head and put the case on the side. Bring up the teacup on the table.
She gently blew on the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip slowly, did not hear Shen Qingqiang's words, and continued: "Your Majesty, the tea in this palace is really bitter."
"Looking at Concubine Hui's younger sister is much younger than Ben Gong, I guess my sister has never heard of the old saying that bitterness comes first before sweetness." Shen Qingqiang looked at Hualou, who didn't speak for a long time, waiting for her to drink a few sips of tea , then slowly looked up at Shen Qingqiang and said, "No, I've heard of it, but I don't believe it!"
"Bitter before sweet? Is the empress trying to tell me that the emperor lived a hard life when he was the prince? I remember that the person who followed the prince was not Shen Qingqiang, but Shen Hualou! That is the fourth sister of the empress! "
When Shen Qingqiang heard the three words of Shen Hualou, her face did not change, but the light in her eyes changed.
Hualou continued: "Empress, how does it feel to climb up on the shoulders of my own sister?"
"You are presumptuous!" Shen Qingqiang said these words, Hualou smiled slowly.
"What kind of deep love between husband and wife, what kind of childhood sweetheart, it's just the self-righteousness of you bitch! I am often presumptuous, and even in front of Donghe, I am often presumptuous, and you, Shen Qingqiang, you are the queen, enjoy yourself as the queen He is so honorable, how dare you act presumptuously in front of him!" Hualou spoke very bluntly, staring at Shen Qingqiang's face, she said firmly: "Don't say, your face is the same as before you entered the palace. There's a difference."
Shen Qingqiang looked at the woman in front of her, and her anger surged up one after another: "Who the hell are you?"
"Empress, have you ever thought that he loved Shen Hualou when she was not Shen Hualou, and she still loved you when she was not Shen Hualou, but you have always been Shen Qingqiang, but he can no longer love you!" Lou was laughing while talking, in fact, she never understood, but the situation in front of her is that Shen Qingqiang has fallen out of favor, and she can laugh at her as much as she wants, and make herself feel better on this long road It's also good.
"Love? You told Ben Gong that you loved her? He loved her, but she died anyway, and this is the end!" Shen Qingqiang's voice was cold and decisive, and the smile on the corner of Hualou's mouth remained the same as he watched her.
"This palace doesn't lack what it needs, and it happens to be what I don't have, so, this match, Shen Qingqiang, you are doomed!"
Hualou's expression at this time was only determined and cruel, with venomous needles in his eyes.
Shen Qingqiang was intimidated by Hualou's expression, and she didn't speak for a long time, but Hualou looked at her and said slowly: "You teamed up to kill her child, broke her leg, and finally threw her into the mess. Burial mound! However, I always thought this was the worst ending, but a few days ago I saw scars on that face, Empress, you are so cruel, you really have the heart to do it! She is alive Sometimes I still call you Second Sister!"
Shen Qingqiang's face was pale and flustered at this moment: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
she snapped.
"No, I'm not talking nonsense, I really saw it, you let me think about how many scars there are." Hua Lou frowned slightly as he said, as if he was really thinking about how many scars there were on the corpse's face. scar.
After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said: "It seems to be seven, and it seems to be eight. I was going to take a closer look, but I was too scared, so I took a quick look."
"Qianji! Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm really not talking nonsense. In the past, I thought she was under house arrest by the emperor, but later I found out that the emperor didn't know where she was. However, Shen Qingqiang, do you know? Donghe is looking for her body, and you , except for the phoenix crown of the Empress! You said you were pregnant and were killed by Shen Hualou, but that day you had a stomachache. I thought it was the sequelae of a miscarriage. Gossip, slandering the empress, you haven’t conceived yet! When I think about Donghe’s face now, I still think it’s wonderful! Shen Qingqiang, in this game, don’t say you didn’t take part, even if you took part in it! It is also doomed to a crushing defeat!" After Hualou finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qingqiang viciously, but her smile was brighter than summer flowers.
She watched Shen Qingqiang's face turn blue and white, and the teacup in her hand slowly fell from her hand, and the tea dregs and water stains in it splashed all over Shen Qingqiang's body.
"Shen Qingqiang, you are nothing with this phoenix crown!" Hua Lou said, she stretched her hand to Shen Qingqiang's head, and tore off the phoenix crown on her bun.
Shen Qingqiang screamed, her phoenix crown was torn off by the painting building, and there were countless strands of hair embedded in it, all pulled from her head.
Hualou watched her throw the phoenix crown on the ground and stepped on it. Hualou had to admit that the texture was good, and her feet hurt from poking it.
While Shen Qingqiang wanted to support the messy things on her head, she also wanted someone to stop the painting building, but even if she stopped it, so what, now she is protected by Donghe, and she has a sharp mouth, but it is She couldn't argue with anything.
Hualou strode out of the gate of Jingyang Palace, feeling a chill in her heart, Donghe wanted to use her, so who would she send her anger towards?It should not be easy for him to coax Shen Qingqiang!
She also said that there are gains and losses!
Remembering Shen Qingqiang's panicked expression when he mentioned that the scars on his face were just now, the corner of Hualou's mouth smiled brighter, and said with a soft smile, Shen Qingqiang, you should not be so panicked in the Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven!
