Chapter 187: The Li Clan
Cui Shao smiled embarrassedly, the queen is still very good at serving, her requirements are not high, and she will not compete with the concubines everywhere.
Except, of course, the kind of concubines who would threaten her status and honor as queens, such as the former Li family.
As he was talking, the people from the palace outside suddenly came in and said, "Queen Mother, Concubine Yan asks to see you." ”
"At this time, she still came to ask to see? Let's just say that the palace is going to rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if there is something. ”
The palace man said: "The queen mother, the slave also said so, but Concubine Yan said that if there is something important, you must talk to the mother, it is inconvenient to talk during the day." Also said...... It was also said that it was about the Lee family. ”
"Lee?"
Although the Li family was demoted to promise, in the end he was not beaten into the cold palace, and the queen still had a knot in her heart.
At this time, Concubine Yan came to her to say this, she couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and Cui Shao said: "Queen Mother, why don't you let her in?" ”
The queen nodded, "See her outside." ”
Concubine Yan entered the hall and saw that the queen had taken off the hairpin ring and was wearing a bed robe, so she hurriedly stepped forward to confess, "The concubine came to see the queen late at night, it was really rude, and please don't blame the mother." ”
The queen said: "You said that the important matter about the Li family returned to the palace, what is the matter?" ”
Concubine Yan raised her head and looked at the queen, "Queen Mother, now that the Li family is alone in the palace, I can see that the weather is getting cooler day by day, and I am afraid that the trip to the imperial garden to escape the summer will not last long." When the emperor returned to the palace to see the Li family, and remembered the old love and restored her, how could it be good? ”
The queen frowned slightly, which was also a concern for her.
She said: "But this time is different from the last time, this time the Li family has malicious intentions, not only to harm the emperor's favorite concubine, but also to murder the entire family of court officials, how can this be a crime that can be easily pardoned?" ”
Concubine Yan hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the Li family's sin is unforgivable, but Li Ge Lao has not been damaged at all. Li Ge is always an important minister in the court, and his henchmen are widely distributed, so it doesn't matter right now, but after a year and a half, he will write a letter to intercede, can the emperor not give face to this old minister? ”
What kind of identity Li Ge Lao is in the court, the queen naturally knows.
The most helpless thing about her is that her background is not prominent enough, and she does not have a powerful mother like the Li family, so she can help in the court everywhere.
If Li Ge Lao uses any more means to reset the Li family......
The queen couldn't have imagined.
Seeing that her face was ugly, Concubine Yan hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said, "Queen Mother, at that time, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to take the Li family." Why not take advantage of the moment in front of you and add fuel to the fire? ”
The queen kept her back and looked at Concubine Yan in surprise, "What do you want this palace to do?" ”
……
Midsummer is coming to an end, and the lotus flowers in Yuyuan Lake are all blooming.
After a few heavy rains, sitting in the water pavilion leaning on the green pavilion, you can enjoy the beauty of listening to the sound of the rain.
She sat alone in the water pavilion, with tea and snacks on the low table next to her, leisurely.
"The boy listened to the rain song upstairs. Red candle dim tent. Listen to the rain in the middle of the boat. The river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind.
Now listen to the rain monks. Sideburns have stars also. Joys and sorrows are always ruthless. A term of step forward, drip to dawn. ”
She shook her head with a teacup and chanted this poppy poem, which was very pleasant.
Suddenly a man's laughter came from behind her, startling her, she quickly turned her head and saw the emperor and Prince Yong standing behind.
She stood up and saluted, "When did the emperor and the prince come?" Not even a single voice came out, and people were scared to death. ”
Prince Yong snickered, "Isn't this seeing that Concubine Zhao Niangniang felt a lot of emotion, and was reluctant to disturb for a while?" What kind of poem is that Niang Niang just chanted? ”
"It's Jiang Jie's poppy."
Prince Yong said: "This poem is so sad, from youth to old age, such vicissitudes. But the mother is young, where can she feel this emotion? It's old-fashioned. ”
Su Youyi said indifferently: "I was originally old-fashioned, and the emperor likes this, I don't believe you ask him." ”
Prince Yong almost burst out laughing, and when he saw the slight smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, he couldn't help asking, "Really?" The taste of the imperial brother is so unique, the younger brother has never known that my younger brother is really derelict in his duty. ”
The emperor glanced at him, "If you are true. I feel that I am derelict in my duty, and I still have a few errands to be entrusted to you. ”
Prince Yong immediately shut his mouth, and the emperor looked at Su Youyi with satisfaction.
"Why is it a person who drinks tea and enjoys the rain here? Wan Chang is always good with you, why don't you find them together? ”
Shuya and they saw the emperor coming outside, so they hurriedly moved chairs over, and the three of them sat down to talk.
Su Youyi said: "There is no need to stay together every day if you have a good relationship, and the concubine feels that it is interesting to sit here alone and enjoy the rain." It's more interesting than being noisy. ”
When Prince Yong heard this, he wanted to laugh more and more, "Did the imperial brother hear it, this is to blame us for disturbing her Yaxing!" ”
Su Youyi knew Prince Yong when she was still a palace maid, they were all old acquaintances, and they were naturally not restrained in their speech, and the emperor looked at Su Youyi with a smile when he heard this.
It's up to her to respond.
Su Youyi spread her hands, "Originally, I thought it was good to enjoy the rain alone, but after enjoying it for a while, I felt a little lonely, and I was thinking that it would be good for someone to come to enjoy the rain together, and I didn't want the emperor and the prince to come." ”
I don't know if what she said is true or not.
Prince Yong couldn't help but say: "Concubine Zhao Niangniang is as articulate as ever, admire and admire." ”
Su Youyi looked at the emperor, "The emperor goes out on a rainy day, do you want to go shopping, or do you want to find your concubine?" ”
"I'm in a good mood today, I took Yunxiang for a casual stroll, and I came to you unconsciously. But there really is one thing to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Lee's gone."
"Lee's Death? How? ”
Su Youyi was taken aback, she didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.
Li was sent back to the palace after being demoted, and he didn't hear about any injuries, so why did he suddenly die?
Prince Yong glanced at the emperor, and Su Youyi's reaction was expected by them.
She didn't know anything.
The emperor said: "Died violently." I don't know if it's in the palace. ”
Su Youyi glanced at the emperor suspiciously, and her face showed disbelief.
The ambiguous word of sudden death was originally perfunctory to the outside world, but the emperor used it to tell her, and it was not clear what he said.
If the emperor is an ordinary king, he may indeed not know it well, but Su Youyi knows how deep the emperor's mind is, it is impossible for him not to know.
The only possibility is that he pretends he doesn't know.
Su Youyi nodded thoughtfully, "The emperor doesn't know very well, so who should be clearer?" ”
The emperor looked at Prince Yong with a smile, and the latter said: "Niangniang, think about it, who is the most important person in the palace and the death of the Li family now, don't you understand?" I thought that Niangniang was in the know, and it seems that the royal brother still understands Niangniang. ”
