53 Chapter 53
Unable to see Yang Yi, Wei Yunqing had to go back to Yanxi Palace for the time being.
She summoned a palace maid and asked, "Did the emperor say that I was not allowed to send a message out of the palace?" β
The palace maid hurriedly shook her head.
"Can't or don't know?" Wei Yunqing asked again. Because of something on her mind, her tone was not very good.
The palace maid was even more panicked, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know!" β
Wei Yunqing was depressed and silent, she would never admit it, no matter what method she used, she would always let Yang Yi let her out of the palace. She wanted to send a message to Yan Rusong first, and asked him to wait for her, and she would definitely leave the palace soon. But this news is likely not to get out. Her personal freedom was restricted, and she suspected that Yang Yi would not give her a chance to pass the news out of the palace.
She thought for a while, and suddenly asked the palace maid: "Do you know Cao Jun and Cao's father-in-law?" β
The palace maid hurriedly said: "The slave and maid know." β
"Go and invite him." Wei Yunqing said.
The palace maid was blessed and hurriedly went.
Since you can't deliver the news yourself, you can only borrow someone else's hand to spread the news. She didn't know many people in this palace, Lu Cui and Lantian should still be in the Qianqing Palace, they didn't have the right to leave the palace at will, all she could count on were those high-ranking eunuchs. Zheng Xiang was someone close to Yang Yi, and she still came to read the holy decree, so she didn't believe that he would pass on her news, so she had to find Cao Jun, who had crossed paths before. When she and Cao Jun first met, they were not very happy, but when they reconciled later, they were harmonious, maybe she gave him more money, and he was willing to help.
Thinking of the money, Wei Yunqing hurriedly said loudly: "Someone!" β
Another palace maid came in quickly, and after listening to Wei Yunqing's orders before, everyone was waiting outside, and they were not allowed to enter at will.
"Have you brought all my things into the palace?" Wei Yunqing said.
The palace maid said: "Yes, Niangniang, your things have been brought in." β
"Where?"
"Right here." The palace maid pointed to a row of wooden boxes next to the bed.
Wei Yunqing walked over quickly, opened the box and saw that her gold, silver and money were indeed there, and it was estimated that there was no less.
After sitting in the palace room for a while, the palace maid directly led Cao Jun back.
When Cao Jun came, he had a sneer on his face, and he didn't wait for Wei Yunqing to speak, and then said: "Niangniang, the slave maid knew that you had a noble face, and you will be noble in the future, and now you have really become the imperial concubine, it is really gratifying!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Wei Yunqing's ugly face, and he was immediately silent, and he wondered in some surprise where he had said something wrong.
After all, there are requests for others, Wei Yunqing restrained his displeasure, and reluctantly smiled: "Father-in-law Cao, I won't go around the bend anymore." I came to you because I asked for your help. β
Cao Jun was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Wei Yunqing was now an imperial concubine, what else did he need his help with? Is it possible to let him move activities to help become a queen? Even the emperor can't do this, let alone him.
He smiled quietly: "Look at what you said, what do you want to do, just give me an order, the slave will ensure that you will do it beautifully and make you satisfied!" β
Wei Yunqing waved his hand and asked the palace people to go out, and only she and Cao Jun were left in the room before he said, "Grandpa Cao, I want to ask you to help me send a message outside the palace." β
"Messenger?" Cao Jun looked surprised.
"Yes, for Yan Rusong." She was direct.
Cao Jun was slightly stunned, swallowed his saliva, and then said cautiously: "Niangniang, this harem woman has correspondence with the man of the previous dynasty...... Not okay? β
"Father-in-law Cao, you should know that entering the palace was not of my own volition. Yan Rusong and I fell in love, so we waited for a marriage. Wei Yunqing's face was like frost.
Cao Jun's eyes sank, and he wished that he hadn't rushed over today, but now he was in a dilemma.
Before, Wei Yunqing was accepted into the palace by Yang Yi and was named the imperial concubine, and it was impossible for him, as the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, not to know, but at that time he just thought that this was the case, and he was glad that he did not choose to be her enemy at the beginning, and he did not think deeply about it. Curtain. But Wei Yunqing himself will be inside. The curtain told him that he was really a little uneasy to hear about this kind of palace secretβif the emperor knew that he knew about it, he might not like him!
"This ...... Niangniang, please forgive the slave for saying a word of advice. Cao Jun looked embarrassed, "Niangniang, you are now the imperial concubine Niangniang, who is only one step away from the queen, the matter is a foregone conclusion, this matter outside the palace has nothing to do with you, you better don't have any contact with the outside of the palace......"
"Grandpa Cao, thank you for your kindness. I just ask you, can you send a message to Yan Rusong for me? Wei Yunqing only said.
Cao Jun was silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Niangniang, the slave and maid really can't do this, if the emperor knows, he must kill the slave and maid." The slaves and maids are old and young, but they don't dare to take such a risk. β
Wei Yunqing didn't care how a eunuch was small, he only frowned and said: "Gonggong Cao, I can only come to beg you in this palace, if you don't help me, no one can." I still have some extraneous things here that are useless to me, if Gonggong Cao doesn't dislike it, please accept my little care. β
She took out a stack of silver tickets and placed them on the coffee table at hand.
Cao Jun likes money, there is no doubt about this, when Wei Yunqing took out the silver ticket and put it on the coffee table, his eyes drifted over unconsciously, and he was greedy, but this matter is not trivial, he can still distinguish the situation, so he had to retract his gaze and smile bitterly: "Niangniang, if this is an ordinary trivial matter, the slave maid will help you do it, but this matter is a big disapproval, the slave and maid are really not ......."
Wei Yunqing said: "Father-in-law Cao, there is still a box of gold, silver and jewelry over there, if you are willing to help me do this, I will give it to you." β
Cao Jun's gaze drifted with Wei Yunqing's gaze, and when he saw the big mahogany box, a greedy light flashed in his eyes, but he immediately regretfully withdrew his gaze. At present, he is ranked as the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and he is the second-in-command of the celebrant eunuch, and he is closely subordinate to Zheng Xiang, the eunuch with the palm seal, and the second position among all the inner servants.
"Niangniang, if it is something else, the slave and maid cannot be denied, but this matter ...... Even if you kill the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will not be able to help you! Cao Jun lowered his gaze and didn't look at those temptations anymore.
Wei Yunqing took a deep breath, although she knew that this matter might not go well, but such a lure still failed to make Cao Jun's heart move, and she was still disappointed.
"Grandpa Cao, that's good, I'll ask you for another thing." She said.
"Speak, mother!" Seeing that she was no longer entangled in the matter of sending a message to Yan Rusong, Cao Jun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded.
"I want to see Lord Shoufusun." Wei Yunqing said.
Cao Jun hesitated, and said for a moment: "Niangniang, Lord Sun is not a slave who can scream." Besides, although he is old, he is still a foreign man after all, and he is not allowed to enter the inner palace. β
Wei Yunqing exhaled, didn't dwell on it anymore, and changed his request: "Then forget it, you help me invite Sun Sisi, the granddaughter of Lord Sun, into the palace, and I want to see her." Without waiting for Cao Jun to speak, she continued, "Sun Sisi is not a foreign man, can this be done?" β
Cao Jun nodded hurriedly: "This is nature, this is nature!" β
"Then I'll thank Gonggong Cao in advance." As she spoke, she pushed the silver ticket forward again.
Seeing this, Cao Jun couldn't resist the greed in his heart after all, stepped forward and put the silver ticket into his arms, and said with a smile: "Thank you Niangniang, the slave will arrange for Lord Sun's granddaughter to enter the palace to see you!" β
Later, Sun Sisi entered the palace. It wasn't until she saw the real person appear in front of her that Wei Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that she wouldn't even see Sun Sisi before.
Wei Yunqing directly drove all the palace people out and looked at Sun Sisi, who was surprised and uneasy.
"...... Your name is Si Silai, what is the matter? Sun Sisi said with a twist.
Wei Yunqing waved his hand: "Don't follow them to scream, what you call me outside, call me now." β
Sun Sisi deliberately made such a well-behaved appearance under the orders of Old Madam Sun's ears, listening to Wei Yunqing's casual attitude, her tense face immediately put down, and said with a coquettish smile: "Sister Wei, you really scared me to death." You don't know that when my grandmother hears that you are going to see me, she must not be rude unless she pulls me to force me to be respectful to you. β
She stuck out her tongue as she spoke.
Wei Yunqing said with a smile: "In the future, if Old Madam Sun is here, you will pretend to respect me and let the old man look at it at ease." She paused, and suddenly thought that she couldn't get out of the palace with these words, so she hurriedly said, "But don't worry, it won't be long before you don't have to be respectful to me in front of Old Madam Sun." β
"Why is that?" Sun Sisi's eyes widened and he wondered.
"Because I'm going to have to leave the palace sooner or later." Wei Yunqing gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Yi forcibly left me in the palace against my wishes, I always want him to let me out!" β
Sun Sisi blinked in confusion and asked, "But Sister Wei, isn't it good to be an imperial concubine?" The most noble woman in the world is the queen, and the imperial concubine is one rank lower than the queen. β
"If I like Yang Yi, of course it's good, but I already have someone I want to marry, how can I stay in the harem?" Wei Yunqing said angrily.
Sun Si thought about it for a while, and then wondered: "But Sister Wei, you have been made a concubine, and the matter has become a foregone conclusion, isn't it too late to change it?" β
"Of course it's time." Wei Yunqing said, "Yang Yi let me out of the palace, it's a big deal for me to change my identity." Anyway, I won't go back to the harem in the future, as long as no one recognizes me. Even if someone recognizes it, and I don't admit it, what can they do with me? Do you mean that I am a former imperial concubine and let me go back to the palace? What are they doing? They're idle! β
Sun Sisi was surprised by Wei Yunqing's different thoughts, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and praise: "Sister Wei, you are really right! But don't change your surname when you change your name, I'm used to calling you Sister Wei. β
Wei Yunqing: "......" Sun Sisi's focus is really different.
Wei Yunqing didn't say anything to Sun Sisi again, she took out the letter she had written when she was waiting alone just now from her arms and handed it over: "Sisi, please help me send a letter to General Yan Rusongyan." β
"General Yan?" Sun Sisi was surprised.
"Yes, it's important." Wei Yunqing clenched the letter tightly, and his knuckles were a little white.
Sun Sisi noticed this, and the doubts in his mouth were swallowed back, and he took the unwritten envelope and said solemnly: "Sister Wei, don't worry, I will personally hand over this letter to General Yan!" β
Wei Yunqing smiled: "You don't have to do it yourself." You can send a trusted maid or servant to deliver it. After all, this is ancient times, she herself can not care about men and women, but others care, she can't ruin Sun Sisi's reputation.
Sun Sisi nodded: "I know, Sister Wei!" β
"One more thing." Wei Yunqing said, and took out another letter, this time the envelope was written "Lord Sun personally opened", "This letter, please help me hand it over to your grandfather." β
She didn't say too much to Sun Sisi, she didn't want the other party to get involved too deeply, and she wrote everything she wanted to say in the letter.
"Okay, I'll definitely give this letter to my grandfather!" Sun Sisi nodded vigorously.
"Thank you." Wei Yunqing hugged Sun Sisi, his voice was a little choked, "Thank you." β
"Sister Wei......" Sun Sisi hugged Wei Yunqing back a little helplessly, and her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of scaring her, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to get out of the palace." β
"Hmm." Wei Yunqing muttered in response, then put away his rare fragility and let go of Sun Sisi.
Sun Sisi did not delay after taking the letter, and soon left the palace. When her grandmother asked Wei Yunqing what she had told her, she only said that she was looking for her to catch up with her, and did not mention the matter of the two letters. Her grandfather hadn't returned home yet, so she could only temporarily put away the letter, and the blank envelope to Yan Rusong, she handed it to the most trusted maid around her, and told her to hand it over to Yan Rusong herself.
Yan Rusong heard a report from his family that there was a girl in the Shoufu Mansion who asked to see him, and he was about to go out, and soon saw the girl. The man was dressed up, and when he saw him, he immediately handed over a letter, and said in a low voice: "General Yan, this is what my young lady asked me to hand over to you personally, saying that you will understand when you read it." β
Yan Rusong took the letter suspiciously, the envelope was blank, and he couldn't see who wrote it, he opened the envelope, took out the folded letterhead, opened it and looked at the first few words and was stunned: "Rusong, it's me."
His heart trembled, and he hurriedly folded the letter and said to the maid: "Thank you, I have received the letter, please thank your young lady for me." β
After saying that, he immediately turned around and went back to his house, and quickly rushed into his room, sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it dry, and sat quietly for a long time before opening the letter again.
The handwriting on the letter was very handsome, and it was the strange but neat font he had ever seen beforeβit was Yunqing's handwriting.
He closed his eyes, exhaled slightly, and watched line by line.
Rusong, it's me.
At this moment, I am being locked up in Yanxi Palace, I want to see Yang Yi, but he refuses to see me. But I still haven't given up, and I'll find a way to get out of the palace.
I'm sorry, if I had agreed to marry you, I wouldn't be where I am today. But I don't regret my decision, I just feel sorry for you. Rusong, I privately hope that you can wait for me, wait for me to come out of the palace. But if you don't want to be entangled with me anymore, I don't want to force you.
If you are still willing to wait for me, please keep this letter and wait for me to come out.
The letter is short and concise. Yan Rusong read it several times, and finally carefully stuffed the letter back into the envelope, covered the letter to his chest, and let out a sigh.
This letter became a reassuring pill, and his anxiety and despair for days were left behind, and even the words he promised his father were also left behind him. He believed in her and was willing to wait for her.
Wei Yunqing's other letter soon came to Sun Chengji's hands. The letter was as brief as it was, just explaining the situation at the moment, asking Master Sun to help her and persuade Yang Yi to let her out of the palace.
Sun Chengji took the letter and was silent in the study alone for a long time. He privately hoped that Wei Yunqing would stay in the palace, but in the letter, she begged him like that, and his heart, which had been through many hardships, could not help but be moved. Since that girl's mind is not in the palace, nor is it on Yang Yi, he might as well help her.
On the second day, Sun Chengji met Yang Yi alone after the dispersal of the dynasty and mentioned Wei Yunqing's matter to him, and his attitude was not strict, but it was inevitably serious.
"Your Majesty, Miss Wei is your savior, but you forcibly brought her into the harem, which is against the words of the sage, this is a revenge for virtue!" Sun Chengji said.
Yang Yi didn't expect Sun Chengji to come to this, and he regretted leaving him to speak, and frowned impatiently: "Sun Shoufu, I won't worry about the affairs of my harem." β
Zheng Xiang on the side also smiled: "Lord Shoufu, you can manage this, but it's too wide, right?" The affairs of the harem, why did the people of the previous dynasty bother to intervene? β
Sun Chengji glanced at Zheng Xiang lightly, ignored him, and only looked at Yang Yi and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has gone through three dynasties, but I have never seen such a thing of revenge." Besides, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how Miss Wei is feeling at the moment? The twisted melon is not sweet, please think twice. β
"She is now the imperial concubine!" Yang Yi said angrily, but he didn't dare to look at Sun Chengji directly, after all, what Sun Chengji said was exactly what he had a weak heart. He knew that she was unwilling to stay in the palace, and he did not dare to see her at all.
"Your Majesty, Miss Wei is kind to you, please don't chill her heart, and don't chill the hearts of the people in the world!" Sun Chengji said.
"Bold!" Zheng Xiang reprimanded loudly, "Sun Shoufu, don't forget that you are a minister, and the emperor is a king!" β
"I'm talking to the emperor, where do you have to interject?" Sun Chengji and Zheng Xiang have always looked at each other wrongly, and sneered.
Zheng Xiang was angry in his heart, but after all, the other party was the first assistant, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous not in the name of the emperor, so he had to retreat to the side with anger.
Yang Yi suddenly stood up: "Don't talk about this matter anymore, I won't change my mind!" β
Yang Yi flicked his sleeves and left, Zheng Xiang hurriedly followed, and finally glanced at Sun Chengji, his eyes were full of coldness.
Since Sun Chengji promised Wei Yunqing, he would not give up halfway, and he came to advise him twice in three days, and his tone was much softer than on the first day. But Yang Yi was determined to refuse to let Wei Yunqing out of the palace, so he always found an excuse not to see Sun Chengji, and the matter was deadlocked.
In the past few days, Wei Yunqing often went to the Qianqing Palace to find Yang Yi, but he was strictly guarded, she couldn't find a chance no matter what, and every time she was half angry and returned home. And Sun Chengji's place, there has been no news.
On this day, she couldn't sit still.
In addition to not being able to leave the palace and not being able to enter the Qianqing Palace, Wei Yunqing's personal freedom was not restricted too much, as the palace people said before, there was no place in this palace that she couldn't go. She packed up and went to Jingren Palace, where Concubine Zhuang lived.
In Jingren Palace, Concubine Zhuang heard that Wei Yunqing was coming to the door, and she was not to be outdone.
On the day Wei Yunqing was named the imperial concubine, the concubines of the inner palace quickly got the news, and suddenly there were some who were surprised, some who were surprised, some who were unhappy, and some who were resentful, and Concubine Zhuang belonged to the latter. She felt that she had already seen through the attempt of Wei Yunqing, a little goblin, and said that she would treat the emperor as a younger brother, but how to explain this now? She once wanted to go to Yanxi Palace to find someone to trouble, but the brocade guard at the door stopped her, saying that it was the emperor's order not to let the rest of the concubines disturb the imperial concubine, and Concubine Zhuang had to come back in disgrace.
Looking at the imposing Concubine Zhuang, Wei Yunqing smiled. She hoped that Concubine Zhuang would be high-spirited when facing her, otherwise how would she create an incident?
"What are you doing here?" Concubine Zhuang said unceremoniously. She is used to running rampant in the palace, and now although Wei Yunqing is of a higher grade than her, she does not take Wei Yunqing in her eyes.
Wei Yunqing snorted coldly: "This palace has been the imperial concubine for a few days, but who knows that none of you unruly palace concubines have come to meet you, you people, you are really bold." Now that the palace is coming in person, you don't even call your sister, and there is really no one in your eyes. Come on, teach me a lesson to the unruly Concubine Zhuang! β
Wei Yunqing's standard entourage every time she traveled, in addition to the palace people in her palace, there were also Jinyi guards, at this moment she was ready to make a move as soon as she saw Concubine Zhuang, which really frightened them, and the palace people looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward. Concubine Zhuang has been rampant in the palace for a long time, and they all have palpitations in their hearts when they see her, where do they dare to "teach" her?
Although no one made a move, but when she heard that Wei Yunqing dared to go wild in her palace, Concubine Zhuang was already very angry, and scolded angrily: "This palace wants to see, who dares to go wild here in this palace?" β
Wei Yunqing's gaze swept behind him, and the palace people lowered their heads deeper when they met her gaze, not daring to look at her.
She sneered: "It turns out that I, the imperial concubine, can't even command you in such a trivial matter? β
The palace people were silent, but they were shouting in their hearts: Niangniang, teaching Concubine Zhuang this matter is really not a trivial matter! If you are favored, the emperor will naturally not blame you, but if we do it, it will be dead!
"Okay, if you don't do it, this palace will come by yourself!" Wei Yunqing raised his eyebrows and looked at the palace people of Jingren Palace behind Concubine Zhuang, "If you dare to do something to me, weigh how many lives you and your family can lose!" β
After she finished speaking, she suddenly rushed towards Concubine Zhuang.
In the Qianqing Palace, Yang Yi was holding his chin in a daze, and a small chamberlain hurriedly ran in, and was reprimanded by Zheng Xiang: "What's the hurry? How do we teach you on weekdays, and you forget the rules one by one? β
The attendant hurriedly knelt down in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Go back to Gonggong Zheng, go back to the emperor...... Oh no! Concubine Zhuang and Imperial Concubine Niangniang fought! 166 Reading Network
