Article 446
At sunset, a red sky remains, the clouds are in vain, and the heart is also in vain.
Qing Yi stood in the front hall wearing only thin clothes, looking up at a red glow in the sky, reflecting the golden tiles of the entire palace, completely blood-colored.
Xiao Tong hurriedly walked to the Chaoen Hall with the fox fur and draped it on Qingyi's body, but when he saw Qingyi's indifferent face, the words he just wanted to say were swallowed into his stomach.
Today's catastrophe, whether she made the wrong bet, although she doesn't know, after all, it is not at the last moment, but the young lady has been so silent since she said a few words to the emperor, is there something wrong? You must know that the master facing the wall of the 'Twilight Palace' is not a good type.
"What does Xiao Tong want to say?" Qingyi's voice was faintly transmitted, although it was extremely weak, but it was extremely heavy, she raised her feet and stepped forward, looking at the pearl of cold plum on the west side of the Chaoen Palace, her eyes contained a trace of silence, when, the plum blossoms withered so depressed, and the fragrance was gone, leaving only a dead tree.
Xiao Tong lowered his head, but couldn't help but look at Qingyi's eyes, and then said softly: "Miss, so far, Concubine Xian Niangniang has only been imprisoned by the Queen Mother in the 'Kunning Palace' facing the wall, and the emperor has not even mentioned a word until now, this patch, I'm afraid it is soulless."
When the words fell, Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi melancholy, but saw a light smile on the corner of her mouth, playing with the phoenix pendant on her waist with her bare hands, and sighed softly, "The emperor is amorous, not to mention that Concubine Xian has won his heart, just imagine, as a husband, how can he hastily break the grace of knotting his hair, not to mention, how could Yu Haoxuan believe that Shangguan Wan'er, this extremely intelligent woman, would do such a clumsy thing?" ”
Perhaps in the eyes of most of the concubines in the harem, this matter was indeed done by the virtuous concubine Shangguan, but at a glance, they knew that this was just a fake set, but why did the set be placed on Shangguan Wan'er, it was definitely because she was isolated.
Mrs. Yipin and the main four, the queen still doesn't care about her family background, even the smart and calm Ouyang Hongyu can ensure that she sits firmly in the back seat, and although Xiao Tong has no beauty, but Du Ci is favored by the emperor, only the virtuous concubine is invincible to the other four regardless of family background or popularity.
Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi's ambition to win, and felt a lot of relief, but he still didn't understand why Qingyi was so sure, the harem and the world knew that the virtuous concubine was virtuous, and she had won the sacred heart, and she was afraid that she would be the head of the four concubines in the future.
"If the young lady said so, why can she be so relieved? Xiao Tong still couldn't hold her breath, this was a risky move, not to mention that she and Xiao Tong were originally seeds on someone else's chessboard, but now they have become chess players, how can she feel at ease with such a risky move?
Qingyi shook her head, stretched out her hand and stroked the long hair that fell down her chest, and chuckled: "This trick is really dangerous, but we don't need to interfere in the rest of the matter, the queen will naturally handle it properly", as she said, she tugged at the corners of her lips, and said: "I can't wait to see what Ouyang Hongyu can do to help the queen."
If you want to get rid of Concubine Xian, it may be the same as a hand, but if you think about Yu Haoxuan's level, it will definitely take a lot of thought, tomorrow above the court, Prime Minister Ouyang will inevitably fall into the well at this time, the pressure of the court and the rumors of the harem are combined, even if Yu Haoxuan cares about Shangguan Wan'er, he must retreat.
When the time comes, the Queen Mother will be angry, and no one can stop it, but Qingyi's eyes dimmed slightly, but she sighed: "Concubine Xian is ambitious, smart and ruthless, and Dao is a character."
Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then covered his mouth with relief and smiled, and said, "Since Miss thinks she is a talent, why don't you take it back?" Now, she is really relieved of her young lady.
Qingyi chuckled, looked back and pinched Xiao Tong's nose, and said, "Ghost spirit, you're laughing at me for not being able to subdue this woman, are you?" Then he laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "But Shangguan Wan'er is indeed not idle, it is not easy to buy her, I am afraid that even if I try, it will be an ownerless childcare."
Xiao Tong nodded, she believed this very much, but after a while, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and whispered: "Miss, I heard that the Shangguan family has a family heirloom in the past dynasties, and it is resounding in the rivers and lakes."
"When did you become interested in antiques?" Qingyi doesn't care, eighty percent of the heirlooms are too old to be the same, even if they are precious, she is not rare.
"It's not an antique, miss, I heard that it's a secret book called 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill', but so far, no one including his Shangguan clan can refine it, because it is a special kind of writing, no one knows it, but the criminal department Shangshu can carry it with him like a treasure, and ah, when Concubine Xian got married, she also brought a manuscript as a dowry to the emperor, but it seems that the emperor couldn't understand it."
"Wedding dress magic?" Qingyi's eyebrows were twisted, and she turned her head to look at Xiao Tong, who was thinking deeply, and said with some astonishment: "What do you mean by 'wedding dress magic'?" ”
Xiao Tong was also puzzled, and only said: "It is rumored that this skill means 'making wedding dresses for others', and it is said that if you practice it, you can dominate the world." ”
Qingyi's eyes froze, and he suddenly understood one thing in his heart, then it was Yu Haoxuan's original intention to protect Shangguan Wan'er. First of all, whether it is true or not, but at least the incomprehensible cheats must also account for a share of the credit.
Thinking of this, Qingyi was in a good mood, she laughed, and then turned around and walked into the bedroom, the depression in her heart seemed to have subsided a lot, and the whole person was refreshed. should really be grateful for Xiao Tong's remarks just now, even if it is a guess, it can be regarded as untying the knot in his heart.
Faced with Qingyi's sudden opening, Xiao Tong was panicked and puzzled, she hurriedly followed Qingyi into the bedroom, closed the door obediently, and said eagerly: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Qingyi stood in front of the window, the corners of her lips were still smiling, her clear eyes were dyed with intoxicating colors because of joy, she picked up a strand of hair with her bare hands, and suddenly said: "Xiao Tong, tomorrow you will go with me to the Queen Mother to intercede for Concubine Xian."
Xiao Tong was surprised, but Qingyi stretched out his finger and sighed softly, and then one flew onto the bed and closed his eyes
Outside the window, the cold wind was raging, and a dark fragrance was coming
The window collapsed, the hibiscus curtain was gently raised, and pieces of plum blossoms fell on the edge of the bed, pink and enchanting, and the dew drops were delicate, wetting the silk quilt, and slowly spreading out
A long shadow stood in front of the window, not moving for a long time, only to hear a sigh, and then, a dodge suddenly flipped into the bedroom, the sound of white robes sounded, the golden crown flickered under the swaying lights, two bright yellow ribbons hung down on the chest, a handsome face without half emotion, a pair of eyes full of complexity and pain quietly stared at Qingyi who was sleeping.
Qingyi's long eyelashes were agitated, and when she felt the gaze that shrouded her, she had already found that this man was definitely not Yu Haoxuan, she slowly opened her eyes, and when the elegant white was reflected in her pupils, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes gradually turned cold, and her heart was depressed.
Why him? Perhaps because of the debt in his heart, Qingyi lowered his long eyelashes, brushed his body and sat up, but he didn't dare to look directly at his gaze, smiled lightly, his voice was soft, but he was a little weak: "How can the third prince be here?" ”
Yu Haotian saw all the expressions of Qingyi in his eyes, his heart seemed to be pulled out of a hollow, he took a deep breath, stared at her clear and innocent eyes tightly, pulled out a wry smile on his thin lips, and said in a low voice: "This king just wants to see how the woman who deceived this king at the beginning ended up today."
Qingyi's eyes narrowed, her heart was suffocated, and she felt a little out of breath, but she still smiled: "It turns out that the prince came to see Xiao Tong die, it seems that Xiao Tongdao disappointed the third prince again", Qingyi's words were not light or heavy, so that people couldn't hear any of her feelings.
Xu didn't expect Qingyi to be so calm, Yu Haotian's face suddenly turned pale, he glared at Xiao Tong angrily, and then angrily put the flute in his hand on the table with a snap, brushed his sleeves and left
A gust of north wind howled, snowflakes flew, and the last snow of winter came, and the sky and the earth were snow-white
In the early morning, the red sun was rising, Qingyi sat in front of the mirror and was dressed by Xiao Tong, she twisted her forehead lightly, brushed her long hair with her hands, but looked at the pure snow white outside the hall, until Xiao Tong braided her green silk into a bun before returning to her senses, looking at the palace maid holding a few boxes of precious rouge, casually ordered a box, swept her cheeks, and dotted the paleness of the past few days a little ruddy.
He also ordered the palace maid who was specially serving to take a few jade armor belts, smeared them with a layer of oil, and dotted delicate cinnabar between her eyebrows, and took Zhu Dan to moisten her red lips.
After a while, Qingyi slowly got up, asked Xiao Tong to take a slightly pink robe, and put a white fox fur on it, and replaced the simplicity on the usual hair bundle with a little bit of luxury, and used three golden hairpins to make her whole person look no longer so pale and weak, but luxurious and lovely.
Xiao Tong, who had never seen Qingyi dressed like this, twisted her eyebrows and doubted, but she never asked, she knew that there must be a reason for the young lady to do this, so she stepped out of the hall and summoned to prepare for the car.
Qingyi looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were full of deep thought, she gathered her fur fur weakly, and stepped out of the inner hall, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, but she inadvertently saw the anxious figure of Gonggong Li, and her heart sank, and her footsteps stopped in front of the hall.
When Gonggong Li walked into the 'Ningxue Palace', he looked around, and when he caught a glimpse of Qingyi's light and warm pink, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly ran to the front of the palace with a light flick of the dust, bowed his head to Qingyi and said goodbye: "Niangniang, the slave has something to report"
As soon as his eyebrows moved, Qingyi could see that Gonggong Li was a little flustered today, just nodding, but he didn't say anything else.
Gonggong Li nodded when he saw Qingyi, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the emperor has sent Concubine Xian into the cold palace after the court this morning, and it is said that Ouyang Chenxiang led the hundred officials to kneel in the snow outside the court hall during the early court today."
His eyes moved slightly, but Qingyi didn't have the slightest joy, only to see Gonggong Li say again: "Niangniang, the emperor is in the 'Kunning Palace'"
Kunning Palace? Qingyi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and then he didn't let Xiao Tong give a reward, but said coldly: "What does Gonggong Li want this time?" After that, Qingyi looked at Gonggong Li, who bowed his head and was stunned.
"Slaves don't want anything" As soon as Gonggong Li heard Qingyi's indifferent tone, his whole body stiffened, and even his usual clever mouth stuttered a little.
"Don't want anything?" Qingyi chuckled, stepped down the stone steps, walked in front of Gonggong Li, looked at his blue-brown palace clothes, shook his head with some regret, but said with a little seriousness: "Although the official eunuch is a minister, he is extremely disdainful, if Gonggong Li has any wishes, he can say it."
Gonggong Li listened to Qingyi's words, and suddenly looked up at Qingyi's serious eyes with some surprise, and then knelt on the cold snow with a thud
The car left a deep indentation on the snow, Qingyi closed his eyes and felt the cool air around him, his heart fluctuated constantly, his bare hand lightly supported the jade armrest, and gently stroked the piece of phoenix pendant that fell on his chest and was tied to his waist swayed back and forth with the vibration of the car, flashing with a faint green light.
In front of the palace of 'Kunning Palace', the car stopped, Xiao Tong stepped forward to support Qingyi, his face was a little uneasy, and he said softly: "Miss, do you really want to exonerate Concubine Xian?" If so, why would you hurt your own body and kill her?"
Qingyi held Xiao Tong's hand, looked up at the inner hall where incense curled everywhere, and took a deep breath: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger", and then flicked her long skirt and took Xiao Tong to the inner hall of the 'Kunning Palace'.
"Concubine De Niangniang has arrived" A sharp but calm voice suddenly sang, and then Zhao Gonggong's lean figure knelt down to Qingyi: "The slave sees Concubine De Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an"
Qingyi's footsteps stopped, his eyes looked at Zhao Chuan who was crawling on the ground with slightly cold eyes, pursed his lips, but didn't speak, just laughed softly, and then walked towards the oncoming Queen Mother and the bright yellow with an indifferent face
When Qingyi stepped on the stone steps with his skirt, Zhao Gonggong's expression darkened, he was prostrate on the ground, his head was almost on the ground, the two pearl spikes on the black gauze hat fell to the ground obediently, and a brown red-crowned crane court dress was completely in contact with the dust.
Although he couldn't see Zhao's father-in-law's expression clearly, Qingyi only knew what he was thinking in his heart now, after all, a person who was loyal to Concubine Xian would not want his master to be framed no matter what, and he was still a woman who had framed him in injustice, so it can be seen how much Zhao's father-in-law hated Qingyi.
Pursing his lips lightly, the plain hand under the long sleeves was lightly clenched into a fist, his eyes looked forward and looked at his queen mother and Yu Haoxuan suspiciously, his eyes flashed, he flicked his long sleeves, stepped forward, his soft voice was graceful, but with a bit of delicate and sickly, a blessed body, and said: "The concubine sees the queen mother and the emperor"
Before An finished the invitation, he saw the Queen Mother step forward to hold Qingyi's plain hand with a look of pity, and her kind voice was full of concern and affection: "Oh, Concubine De's body has not healed, why did she come to the 'Kunning Palace' to invite An?" After that, he turned around and glanced at Zhao Chuan, his voice was a little cold, and said, "What are you still doing on your knees, and you don't give Concubine De a seat." ”
Qingyi chuckled, although the veil was hidden, but there was seven points of weakness in the smile, holding the hand of the queen mother wearing jasper armor, and said softly: "This is what the concubine should be", as soon as the words fell, he coughed lightly with his hand to cover the corner of his lips.
