Chapter 21 The Court Chapter 10
The temperature that is about to enter winter has begun to drop sharply, the weather has completely cooled down, and the rain in late autumn is coming.There was a bang like an overturned ink bottle, and the rain came under the cover of clouds without warning.The autumn rain, with its most satisfying brushes and ink bottles, paved the gorgeous palace with wet and heavy colors.The leaves dropped pieces of red fallen leaves, paving the way in this deep palace, like pieces of morning glow being trampled to the ground, and the beauty of the touches of color is fascinating.

Inside the Jiaofang Hall, it was as warm as spring. The woman in the red palace costume in the room was lazily lying on the seat, and the maid beside her gently rubbed her shoulders. The whistling wind seemed to be unable to change the warmth of the room. In the temperature of spring, the woman in the red palace dress was just wearing a thin outer shirt and a Confucian skirt, lying lazily on a chair with her eyes closed and resting her mind, while the maidservant in purple clothes with grape skins on her side bent over and put a Peeled a bunch of grapes and fed them into the woman's bright red mouth, rolled her eyes and said softly

"Your Majesty, I heard from the little Dezi next to Eunuch Li that the emperor is so angry that even Eunuch Li has been affected..." the maidservant who was peeling the grapes whispered in the Queen's ear, her words were very light , so light that the people around the queen couldn't hear it at all,
"Oh? Is that so? What's the matter? Our emperor doesn't seem to like people who are so angry on the surface..." After hearing the news, the lazy woman lying on the chair opened her eyes with interest. Eyes, there is a trace of interest in the pupils, with some irony.

"I don't know, but from Xiao Dezi's words, I seem to have heard the name of General Murong..." The maid beside me frowned and thought for a while, then resumed her smile, and said to the queen with a smile
"Master, it's not a big deal. It won't threaten your position. It's just a little Mei Zhaoyi. It's just that it seems that Mei Zhaoyi went into the palace and chatted with the emperor for a long time. Even Eunuch Li didn't know how to talk." What did you do..." The maidservant continued to peel the grapes without changing her expression, but the woman in red on the seat lacked interest, and lazily joked with the maidservant.

"Are you so sure that Eunuch Li doesn't know, and it's not because he refuses to talk to you..." She stared at the helpless maid in front of her with a lazy and evil look. say

"Eunuch Li won't lie to slaves..." Looking at the maid who was blushing to the tip of her ears, the red-clothed woman stopped talking, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Her unpainted face seemed much more beautiful than usual, Even the temperament is quite different.

The bright yellow imperial chariot outside the hall has reached the outside of the Jiaofang Hall. The yellow brocade clothes are embroidered with dragon patterns. Even the imperial chariot is very gorgeous. It is made of gorgeous ancient wood, decorated with fine silk, and embroidered with eight-clawed golden dragons. The golden dragon flying on the embroidered cloth was flying in the sky with great momentum, looking at the sky and this magnificent palace invincibly.

The Jiaofang Hall is the most gorgeous of the palaces. It is composed of several palace groups, large and small. There are five small palaces next to the main hall. They are gorgeous and eye-catching, with red tiles and white walls, and golden gilt against vermilion. The gate of the palace, the aspects of each are intertwined into a gorgeous and beautiful palace.Zhou Huang stepped on the back of the little father-in-law and got off the imperial chariot, and slowly stepped into the Jiaofang Palace...

Stepping through the vermilion palace door and walking into the inner hall, the warm breath in the pepper room could not help but make Zhou Huang tremble unconsciously, feeling the warm breath, which is different from Zhou Huang's Dragon Birthday Incense, which is different from the filial piety of the queen I prefer the thick and extravagant jasmine, the thick and extravagant aroma has a hint of fragrance, a charming aroma lingers around, the mist rises, and it spreads its teeth and claws in the air. Smelling this aroma, Emperor Zhou frowned slightly, After a little hesitation, he stepped in.

Xuan Xiao Xu, who was sitting on the chair, heard the movement at the door, sat up slightly, her beautiful phoenix eyes turned to the bright yellow handsome figure at the door, raised her eyes, and said softly

"Why is your majesty coming to your concubine today when you have time? I heard that sister Jing seems to be in a bad mood recently. Why won't your majesty go and have a look..." Empress Xu stood up, looked at Emperor Zhou tenderly, and gently took off the He took off the emperor's red robe and cloak and handed it to the maid of honor.

"Today is the fifteenth day. Didn't the empress forget that every day I come to the main palace, don't you know the rules best..." The emperor sat on the chair with a calm expression, half-closed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. soft woman.There was an unhappy look in his eyes, but it was buried deeply.

"The concubine thought the emperor had forgotten about it today..." Xu Hou curled up her lips, looked out the window with a mocking expression, her eyes seemed to be missing something in a trance.

"Of course I will never forget what I promised you..." Seeing Empress Xu's expression, Emperor Zhou curled his lips in interest, raised his eyebrows and looked at her,
"Why, the empress is starting to think of the person who played the flute for you again?..." Seeing the empress's expression, Zhou Huang must have remembered the song when he was young

"The concubine just thought of something from her childhood, and sighed a little. She never thought that the three of us would become what we are now..." Empress Xu lowered her eyes, her expression a little sad.The eye sockets gradually turned red.

"Yeah, I remember when you were a child, you loved wearing red clothes the most. You said red clothes were flamboyant and dazzling, and they suited you best. He was in poor health, but he loved watching you riding a horse the most. Every time he saw you riding a horse, he would always look at you." I will play the flute quietly by the side..." The emperor's expression softened, the feelings of childhood are the most innocent and most memorable.

"He has changed a lot..." The queen's voice was a little low, she lowered her eyes and said muffledly, her face was a little pale against the red palace dress.

"At that time, my concubine was looking forward to growing up every day, and marrying him after Jiji, and then it will be a lifetime, but now I realize that the faster I grow, the faster I will be separated. The childhood vows may be true. , but it is too immature, no match for the invasion of the real world, and it just shattered little by little..." The queen's eyes began to turn slightly red, and there was heartache, pity, and too much pain in her usually gentle eyes. There were so many incomprehensible things, the emperor on the side didn't speak, and sat down with his eyes down, not knowing how to comfort her.

"The concubine once thought that it was because my family was too selfish that I was allowed to enter the palace and broke my childhood promise, but later I realized how ridiculous this idea is. If the concubine does not have the Xu family behind her, Even if that promise is fulfilled, it will be a crushing defeat, without the concubine blessed by the family, I am nothing..." The queen's expression became firm, and there was a light of self-confidence and strength intertwined in her eyes, which no one dared to ignore , dazzling like a flame.

"When I was young, I thought you were as dazzling as fire. Later, I felt that you seemed to have changed, but now I realize that your temperament has never changed..." The emperor smiled a little, looking at the queen in front of him, his hawk-like eyes seemed to think Stare at her, stare at her, and ask her,

"If one day his ambition starts to expand and he starts to threaten my throne, what should you do..." Zhou Huang stared at the queen in front of him, not missing a single bit of the queen's expression.

"The concubines, the Xu family and the emperor are one. If the emperor dies, the Xu family will die. If the emperor wins, the Xu family will win. There has never been another choice..." The queen said darkly.

"I hope the emperor can save his life..."

"I promise you, I will remember. I asked Prime Minister Xu to pay more attention to the recent changes in the court. I am afraid that the court will change..." The tired emperor finally relaxed, leaned on the chair, and fell asleep after a while.

Xu Hou looked at the tired face of the emperor, sighed, and looked out of the window thinking about something. The red candlelight was like a dancer in the dark night, shining red candlelight, as if it was about to shine into people's hearts...
