Chapter 533: Disturbed
In fact, regarding the sacrificial ceremony after these seven days, Concubine Shu herself did not plan to go.
Although it is inevitable that she will be a little unlucky on the pretext of being sick in this joint eye, it is still better than her leading Xiaolong Yuanxiu to go, and then the unhappiness of the queen in vain, and then punish them at that time.
Concubine Shu, who had already planned this, did not directly agree, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded slowly, and said with a slightly reluctant expression: "Okay." They will not appear at the festival after seven days. ”
Concubine Mei herself saw that Concubine Shu was still hesitating, and her expression couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, and this time she saw that she was so knowledgeable and directly agreed, and her face was immediately happy.
"It's good that Concubine Shu can be so knowledgeable, since Concubine Shu can't go to the ceremony in a few days, then this concubine, as the head of the eight concubines, should go by this concubine."
Concubine Mei, who had a sense of success in her eyes, raised her hand slightly with a smile on her lips and stroked her Biyun bun, "Concubine Shu is so hearted, but don't forget to go to the temple to report in advance, otherwise it will delay things, and it will not be much better for you and me." ”
Listening to Concubine Mei's extremely sarcastic "Concubine Lady", Concubine Shu has always been able to maintain that gentle temperament, "Naturally." ”
"It's naturally good that the lady can be so interesting. After all, this sacrificial ceremony is a big event, if it is delayed at that time, it will be a crime of killing the head, and the lady concubine Niangniang thinks about the little highness, but it is best not to do anything superfluous. The talented man looked at Xiaolong Yuanxiu with an angry face, and he was extremely unconvinced, and warned.
After saying all these words, Cai Ren glanced at Concubine Shu with contemptuous eyes, and then left directly behind Concubine Mei.
After seeing the two of them flaunting their might and threatening them, they left directly. Xiaolong Yuanxiu, who has been having to suppress the anger in his heart for the sake of Concubine Shu, can't be suppressed anymore this time.
Xiaolong Yuanxiu held Concubine Shu's hand in his hand with his backhand, raised his eyes with an annoyed and puzzled expression, "Isn't that the only chance for the mother concubine to see her father?" Why did the concubine give up this opportunity to that concubine?! ”
Although Concubine Shu, who was being questioned, still had a shallow smile on her face, if she looked closely, she could find that there was actually a thick fog that could not be dissolved in the depths of her eyes.
But when he looked at Xiaolong Yuanxiu, the love in his eyes never diminished in the slightest, "Xiu'er, there are some things you still don't understand, the mother concubine just hopes that you can grow up safe and sound, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”
Xiaolong Yuanxiu, who has been oppressed in the palace for so long, was already about to take a complete solution when he experienced today's incident, but because of what Concubine Shu said, he suppressed his emotions again.
Xiaolong Yuanxiu, who opened his mouth slightly, seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while, let alone what he could do with such a weak and incompetent person, and in the end he could only call softly, "Mother ......"
In fact, Concubine Shuhui's status in the palace has fallen to this point, not entirely because she is alone and has no support from her mother's family.
The more reason is that among the four concubines, she is the only one who has a son, which is already enough
enough to be jealous of the other three concubines. In addition, the eldest prince Long Zhengning has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has been soaked in the medicine jar all day long, and even the imperial doctor in the palace is at a loss.
But Long Yuanxiu was physically strong and quite alert, and he was even praised by Emperor Tiansheng.
The speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, even if it is just an unintentional compliment on the whim of Emperor Tiansheng.
But the queen, who has always been very jealous, has never forgotten the favor that Concubine Shu received before, even if Concubine Shu does not have the support of her mother's family, but her face is still there, and she is still afraid that Concubine Shu will be favored again.
Then when the time comes, a prince who has regained favor as a concubine, and a prince who is the queen's concubine, but who is always sick and may die early, it is self-evident who the emperor will value.
And in the eyes of the queen, since Concubine Shu has been able to get the emperor's favor for so long, she must have some means. Otherwise, among the four concubines, how could she be the only one who has a dragon heir, and it is not too late for her son for half a year, and it almost makes Long Yuan cultivate this eldest son in such a short time, even if it is not a sister-in-law, the status of the eldest son in the future will really not be low.
It is precisely for this reason that the queen has always regarded Concubine Shu as a thorn in her side.
In the time after this, it was precisely because the queen was jealous of Concubine Shu that she would have been secretly suppressing her, otherwise even if Concubine Shu did not have a mother's family and no status, in the case of not having many princes, it should definitely not be a luxury that would allow Xiaolong Yuanxiu to even eat the osmanthus cake that the palace maid could eat at will.
And on this basis, in other aspects of life, how bad these two people will be, it is naturally conceivable.
It's ridiculous that this kind of thing is taken for granted in the royal family, and it's too common.

"Lord Wang?"
Just as Long Yuanxiu was pondering, he suddenly heard Uncle Li's inquiry, pulling him out of this memory.
"What?" Long Yuanxiu, whose thoughts were pulled back, looked at Uncle Li, who was respectful in front of him, and responded.
Uncle Li raised his body and opened his mouth with some hesitation: "Old slave, there should be something to be careful about." ”
Raising his eyes to look at Long Yuanxiu, he couldn't help frowning lightly, "If it's about restoring the throne, Uncle Li doesn't need to say much." Not to mention that now Mingyue is still missing, there is no news, so I don't have the heart to manage those dirty things in the court, even the mother concubine is ...... before she dies."
If Zhuang Mingyue's disappearance made Long Yuanxiu anxious, then the death of Concubine Shu really made Long Yuanxiu heartbroken.
At least judging from the current situation, Zhuang Mingyue has not fallen into the hands of Long Zhengning, and there has not been any ominous news coming back, so it is enough to prove that Zhuang Mingyue is currently relatively speaking, not in an embattled situation, let alone being chased and killed by Long Zhengning's faction.
And in addition to Long Zhengning's revenge, the other people, Long Yuanxiu, after carefully speculating, only had the possibility of the Holy Fire Sect.
During this period of time, nothing strange had happened, and Zhuang Mingyue might choose to leave on her own because of something and go alone to solve the possibility mentioned by any of them, but he was directly vetoed by him early.
Now the two have long become husband and wife, and they have agreed to advance and retreat together. Therefore, Long Yuanxiu understood that it was absolutely impossible for Zhuang Mingyue to leave secretly because of things, and even Caiyun Caixia, who had been following her, didn't know these things.
And during this period of time, except for the fact that the two of them had too many disputes between Long Zhengning, the other forces had never been in contact at all, not to mention that there might be something between them that would be enough for them to send a master to come and offend their two waves of forces.
But since the Holy Fire Sect was destroyed by Zhuang Mingyue, the hiding place where they are now is even more difficult to find. This is also why, after Long Yuanxiu tried his best to find it, he never got any news.
And since the person sent by the other party this time is enough to bypass Caiyun Caixia and the two people, and can enter the courtyard under the surveillance of Daxing and the secret guards he has placed, it is enough to show that this person is definitely not simple.
When he thought of Long Yuanxiu here, the dense mist in his eyes was even thicker, making people unable to see through what he was thinking in his eyes at all.
In fact, Uncle Li has been by Long Yuanxiu's side for so long, how could he not know what happened at the beginning?
Although he did persuade him just now, hoping that Long Yuanxiu could give more consideration to restoring the throne, he also understood that Long Yuanxiu, who was now under this double blow, was only afraid that he hated Emperor Tiansheng to the extreme.
Not to mention that he would not consider restoring the throne at all, but if he could endure this anger now and not directly quarrel with Emperor Tiansheng, it was enough to prove what kind of mood he was in now.
Uncle Li, who understood this, looked at Long Yuanxiu, whose eyes were still full of anger in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
"Your Highness, the old slave still hopes that His Highness can listen to this. Now although His Royal Highness still has power in the court, he can finally say that if His Royal Highness really does not want to return to the court to restore the status of the prince, I am afraid that it will be a wrong move. ”
If the person in front of Uncle Li is Long Zhengning or Emperor Tiansheng now, I am afraid that if he is so cautious about death, not only will he not be recognized, but he will most likely be killed on the spot.
No matter what dynasty or generation, the loyal ministers are the same. No matter how clearly they see and say what they say, when the superior is provoked to anger, they say something contrary to their original intention, and no matter what she says, what they get will only be a result.
And this result is either exile, or it is only possible to get the condition of old age and powerlessness, and be directly forced to disarm and return to the field, and have to leave the court.
Among them, no matter which one it is, it is enough for Uncle Li, who is over half a hundred years old, to eat a pot.
But even so, Uncle Li still chose to speak cautiously in this situation, in order to hope that the more urgent and inappropriate the situation, the more he could maintain his sanity and not make the wrong choice because of a momentary anger.
