Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 38 Confrontation
Jian Qiu's words echoed in Shen Qingqiang's ears over and over again, her eyes gradually became ethereal and sinister, but she kept silent.

The maidservants around were watching tremblingly, and heard Jianqiu say: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor went up to the Scarlet Mist Palace late last night, and I didn't leave until today when the court came up. I'm afraid it was the Empress Rong who begged the Emperor for mercy."

After Jian Qiu's words were finished, Shen Qingqiang didn't feel any relief. In the world, deceiving oneself and others is the most difficult thing.

After a long, long time, the cup of tea in her hand was already cold, she slowly picked it up, gulped it down, Jian Qiu frowned: "Madam, the tea is cold, drinking too much will hurt your body. "

"The human heart is like this tea. It will cool down after a while. The cold tea can still be drunk, but it's not good, and the cold heart will have nothing." Her words were very light, as if floating The feather fell on the apex of the heart, and it seemed to be itchy, which made people feel like scratching the heart, brain and lungs, but they couldn't find the right place.

Jian Qiu wanted to comfort me, but words were always difficult to speak to her heart, before she could say anything, she heard Shen Qingqiang say: "I'm tired, help me to rest, I won't see anyone today."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jianqiu supported her and walked slowly towards the bed in the cabinet. Seeing her lying down peacefully, Jianqiu pinched the corner of the quilt, and seeing Shen Qingqiang's closed eyes, she slowly backed out and put down the bed. Curtains.

"If I haven't woken up after an hour, remember to wake me up."

Jian Qiu paused: "Yes, empress."

"Go out." After Shen Qingqiang finished speaking, Jian Qiu frowned slightly, she was the one who fell asleep before, and she sat on the side and waited, because when she woke up, someone always needed to wait on her.

"Yes, empress, the maidservants are right outside the door." After Jianqiu finished speaking, she slowly backed out. The maidservants outside were all discussing something in a low voice. The daughter of Ye Ting who came out.

"Have you heard?"

"what?"

"I went to the imperial dining room just now, and it spread. When His Majesty was the crown prince, he went to the Heavenly Prison. At that time, the Crown Princess was imprisoned and was picked up by His Majesty. I heard that they have a very good relationship. His Majesty hugged her." I carried her back to the Prince's Mansion from the prison, and I heard that the court lady in Ye Ting is very similar to the former Crown Princess." A court lady in blue said softly.

Jianqiu was the person Shen Qingqiang brought in from the Shen family. Of course she knew every detail of the year. Of course, she had seen the crown princess Shen Hualou. If she hadn't followed Shen Qingqiang, in her memory, Shen Hualou A deserted person, and she was used to the excitement, so she couldn't like Shen Hualou either.

Just like every new year and festival, the people serving Shen Hualou can eat at the same table with her. She is very kind to the people around her, so nice that it makes her feel jealous. Serving the master requires loyalty. This is The truth of being human.

She followed Shen Qingqiang to live in the Prince's Mansion. During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, Donghe went out to inspect and did not rush back. Shen Qingqiang usually went to the Prince's Mansion just to be with Donghe. Now that Donghe is not here, she naturally He wanted to go back to Shen's residence, and Shen Hualou was a person who cut off all ties with the Shen family in order to marry Donghe, so naturally he couldn't go back, and he couldn't go back.

In the originally deserted Prince's Mansion, Shen Hualou brought the servants to decorate with paper-cut flowers. She taught the servants how to make moon cakes at the back of the kitchen. After the pan was hot, everyone ate it. At that time, Shen Qingqiang was still She didn't go back, because she wanted to wait, and Donghe might come back soon.

But when it was almost dark at dusk, Donghe didn't come back.

Passing by Shen Hualou, Shen Hualou called her to eat together. At that time, because of her face, she passed by, but she couldn't help the torment in her heart. Behind her back, Shen Qingqiang knew that she would be severely punished.

In this mansion, she is very friendly to everyone, she knows Shen Qingqiang and Donghe's being together, and Shen Hualou is kept in the dark, always high above, always smiling like a flower, no matter how you look at it, Even if she is in a wheelchair, it doesn't affect her beauty.

There is a kind of person who looks noble, but indifferent; there is a kind of person, like Shen Hualou, you obviously feel that she is like a heavenly being, which makes you feel awe and distance, but when she smiles, you will feel it in your heart. Warm, and then forget that you don't have much contact with that person.

Shen Hualou looked at her, and seemed to see her doubts, so he asked his servants to bring her some. Shen Hualou's eyes were very clear, with a magical power that penetrated people's hearts, so she dared not look directly at them.

I'm afraid that she will see through everything if I'm not careful.

Today is not what it used to be, Shen Qingqiang has become the empress, and she has also become the maid of honor beside Shen Qingqiang, and in this palace, this emperor's house, that Dong He who betrayed Shen Hualou back then and made countless vows to the empress... , is also not what it used to be, with countless beauties around him, and he is no longer a man who only loves one person.

At that time, he was the unfavored Crown Prince, and Shen Hualou ran around for him.

Now he is a high and mighty emperor, and the woman who pushed the wheelchair with the eloquent tongue back then has long since disappeared.

Jian Qiu was in a daze, while the maids over there were still discussing.

"Perhaps Concubine Rong begged for mercy. Your Majesty dotes on Concubine Rong so much, and now she is pregnant again."

"I think"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jianqiu: "Are you idle? You're all gossiping here! Do you all feel that you have many heads? Or do you think His Majesty can bring you out even if you enter the prison? It's an extravagant hope, and you are just beaten to death with sticks, including me!"

"This servant has seen Aunt Jianqiu."

"In the future, let me hear talking behind your back that shouldn't be discussed by you, and I will never forgive you!"

"Yes, the servant knows."

"Let's all go down to work, the lady is asleep, don't make too much noise to disturb the lady's rest." At the end, Jianqiu added another sentence.

"Yes."

Then a group of maidservants gathered in the courtyard dispersed one after another. Everyone looked at me and looked at you. There are many women in this palace, and there are many right and wrong. Countless secrets can arouse their curiosity.

But they don't understand. Knowing these things will only make them die faster. In this deep palace compound, what is needed is to ignore it and learn to be a blind and deaf person.

Donghe took Shen Hualou out and took him directly to the Government Affairs Hall.

On the table in the government affairs hall, there was still the ancient chess record. Shen Hualou's eyes gradually deepened. She got the ancient chess record outside and gave it to Donghe after returning. He liked it very much. In their free time, the two would always sit down and play chess together. Playing chess in the painting building is also extraordinary. The two fought each other a lot, and they fought fiercely, but Donghe would always laugh at the end. Those unpleasant, difficult The days of my life came like this.

But now, it is a great irony for him to put that chess book in such a conspicuous place.

Donghe looked back and saw Hualou's gaze, and frowned faintly: "Like it?"

Hua Lou looked away, nodded, and there was joy in his eyes.

Donghe smiled bitterly: "You know what that is."

"Ancient chess record." Hualou said in one word, making Donghe slightly stagnant.

"It's a pity that I like it too." After Donghe finished speaking, Hualou smiled: "It can be seen that it's just so old, and His Majesty must have remembered everything in it."

"A gentleman does not take away people's love." Donghe's words were casual, and no emotion could be seen in his deep black eyes.

"But according to my servant, the person who gave this ancient chess record to His Majesty must be someone who truly loves His Majesty." Hualou couldn't help but miss Donghe's bottom line every time. Still pretending not to know.

Before Donghe could speak, he heard a familiar voice: "Of course, at that time, the old man, the king, exchanged the whole Prince An's mansion for this chess record, and she didn't change it, and even let the dog bite the king. "

The words came in from the outside, and there was no one to pass them on, so it was easy to enter and leave the hall, except for Donghua, who else could it be?

Hua Lou restrained his expression, and retreated behind Donghe.

Donghe heard the voice, turned around slowly, and saw Donghua slowly walking in from outside the hall. This is the government affairs hall, not a place where anyone can come or leave whenever they want, nor is it a vegetable market. , a place where you can visit occasionally as you feel!

Donghua was wearing a purple brocade robe, which looked even more pleasing to the eye. His black and thick hair was pulled up high by a golden crown, and under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows were a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, full of affection, which made people fall in love if they were not careful. Fall into it.With a tall nose and moderately thick thin lips, there was a dazzling smile.

This kind of smile is very similar to the face of a fox.

"Isn't the emperor recuperating in the mansion? Why did he enter the palace empty-handed?" Donghe's words were indifferent and cold. Whenever he met Donghua, Donghe's whole body would be filled with hostility, as if he had formed a kind of inertia.

Today's Donghe is already the emperor, but he has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is not stable. What he fears the most is this uncle who is said to be dying soon!
"You have to go out for a walk to heal your wounds. This is good for healing your heart disease. Only then did you realize that you haven't entered the palace for a long time, so you came here." Hua Lou frowned slightly after listening to his words, still the same as before. More than anything.

Take a walk like it's your back garden.

Before Donghe replied, Donghua had already strode over, staring at the painting building carefully, not paying attention to Donghe.

Hualou blessed him: "My maidservant, Qianji, see Prince An."

Donghua didn't speak, but stretched out his slender and white fingers and gently lifted her chin, then his eyes focused and his face changed drastically: "Who are you?"

Hualou's eyes immediately drifted to Donghe, Donghe's face was also livid, and his thin lips were pursed, as if he was holding back his anger.

She only felt that a bloodless gunpowder had begun to spread.
