Yuan Shuang warned herself that when a person is in a weak position, he must know how to avoid the sharp edges, keep a low profile and wait for work, but at the same time, he cannot sit still and wait for death. Therefore, although she did not take the initiative, she ordered Yi to secretly pay attention to every move of Feng Zao Palace and Qingcheng. Report to her promptly.
Ling Yi reported to her that Concubine Yu beat the palace man for no reason after being drunk. It was said that the beating was very serious. After hearing this, the queen not only asked the imperial doctor to treat the palace man, but also went to the Xisi Fourth Institute to visit in person. He ordered the layoff of half of the palace staff in Concubine Jade's palace, and fined her for one year, leaving her to think about her faults in the palace. Concubine Yu felt that the queen was making a fuss out of a molehill, and was deliberately targeting her, so she made a fuss to His Majesty. Little did she know that the Queen happened to be with His Majesty. At the same time, His Majesty directly stated that the Queen will make the final decision regarding the harem in the future.
As a result, the queen ordered Concubine Yu to be demoted to Concubine on the spot because she was disobedient to the control of the middle palace, and made her kneel behind the gate of Fengzao Palace for three hours. It rained heavily that day. After a serious illness, the other concubines avoided her for fear of being implicated. Even the imperial doctors failed to treat her properly. The cold weather lasted for more than half a month. Finally, the queen came forward to find Mo Yuanzheng. He cured her personally, and the queen came to talk to her for several days to help her quit drinking. After that, the concubine became much better and treated the palace people better, and she was a little respectful and afraid of the queen. .
Also, Concubine Mei, who had always been disdainful of anyone and only liked to write and write all day long, actually became friends with the queen. I heard that she personally painted a picture of the queen. The queen couldn't put it down and hung it in Fengzao Palace. After seeing it, His Majesty felt that Concubine Mei had painted the queen's charm, so he invited Concubine Mei to paint for him and the queen. After hearing that Concubine Mei had finished the painting, His Majesty was so happy that he stayed at Concubine Mei's palace that night. According to legend, the queen was jealous and thought that she would fall out with Concubine Mei, but they didn't know that the two of them were not affected by this incident and were still as close as sisters.
Furthermore, although the queen manages all affairs in the harem quite well, she seems to be arrogant and arrogant recently, and has become more arrogant and domineering. A few days ago, she even locked His Majesty out of the palace because she had a disagreement with His Majesty. She returned to the Palace of Qinzheng in obscene clothes late at night, and even asked His Majesty to apologize to her afterwards. The most outrageous thing was that she had to raise a disabled baby born from an affair between a palace maid and a guard, which attracted a lot of criticism from the former harem and brought great trouble to His Majesty. It caused a lot of trouble.
When Yuan Shuang heard that Jun Hu was so kind to her, she felt jealous and angry. She sneered in her heart. She was indeed a spoiled princess. She showed her true nature after entering the palace for a long time. She dared to do this to His Majesty. Disrespectful and extremely arrogant.
Isn't she proud of being favored? It's best to make her more and more arrogant. As the saying goes, if you want to kill someone, make her crazy first. Thinking about a woman like her, Jun Hu's kindness to her now is just a temporary novelty. When the novelty wears off, She could never turn over with just a flick of her fingers.
In Yuan Shuang's eyes, the queen is nothing more than a chess piece and a substitute, and she is really nothing to be afraid of! Jun Hu aims to unify Zhongzhou, and there will be a battle between Nan'an Kingdom and Beilin Kingdom. With her status, her death may be over by then.
Why is she so anxious to argue with her now? It's better to take the opportunity to recuperate her body. If there is a chance to give birth to the emperor's eldest son, why should she not be able to turn over!
Yuan Shuang looked at herself in the mirror. She was only twenty-one years old now, which was a woman's most beautiful and best years. With her beauty, wisdom and ability, she did not believe that Jun Hu would always ignore her. As long as If she had the slightest chance, she would be able to capture his heart.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's coming!"
When Ling Yi heard a message from his chamberlain that Jun Hu was coming to Feishuang Palace, he immediately ran excitedly to tell Yuan Shuang.
Yuan Shuang was overjoyed. She didn't expect that she would have a chance to stand up so soon. She must seize this opportunity today.
Ling Yi then whispered: "My Lady, I gave Xiao Fuzi a piece of gold, and Xiao Fuzi secretly told me that it was because the Queen bumped into His Majesty. Your Majesty was angry and asked you to be careful with me, Madam."
Yuan Shuang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard this. It turned out that he just came to her to find comfort. Then she thought about it. No matter what, this was always an opportunity for her. She thought for a moment and immediately took out a book from the drawer. He held the crossbow tightly in his hand, and then ordered all the palace people to extinguish most of the candles in the palace and hide in the darkness.
When Jun Hu arrived at Feishuang Hall, he saw that the once magnificent and bustling Feishuang Hall was completely silent. He had already walked into the hall, but he only saw Ling Yi dozing at the door. He couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart, and he stopped Chang Sheng, who was about to sing and drink, walked straight into the hall.
There was only a weak oil lamp burning in the Feishuang Hall at this moment. Through the green gauze tent, he could see that Yuan Shuang was only wearing a light tube top gauze robe at this moment, revealing a large area of spring on her chest, and her black hair was completely tilted down behind her. , with a beautiful face, she was holding something in her arms with a lonely expression. Jun Hu raised the curtain and saw clearly that the thing in her hand was the Lingbao Bow, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
This Lingbao bow was given to her by him. She used this bow to fight him through life and death countless times. In order to help him repel Chu Yujin's 200,000 troops at Jialing Pass, she worked hard and organized her troops. She fainted from exhaustion at one point, but the first thing she said after waking up was: "Have the enemy retreated?"
When he became the Queen of Nan'an, he promised her the position of queen, but he finally broke his promise. Now he blames her for being scheming and taking advantage of him, but didn't he always know what kind of person she was
He looked at Yuan Shuang, who was holding a crossbow and weeping silently, and felt moved in his heart. It seemed that he had become more suspicious after he succeeded to the throne. No matter how Yuan Shuang treated other people, her sincerity towards him was unquestionable. He How could he suspect that she would risk his life for the sake of her position as queen
He sighed and called softly: "Ayuan!"
Yuan Shuang was in a dream, looking at him so close with a look of disbelief on her face.
"I must have been dreaming again. Why did Your Majesty come to see me?"
She murmured softly, couldn't help laughing to herself, and then clenched the crossbow in her hand again.
Jun Hu felt a pain in his heart and strode forward to hold her in his arms.
"A Yuan, this is not a dream. I really came to see you. I'm sorry that I have neglected you these days!"
"Your Majesty! It's really you!"
Yuan Shuang couldn't help but burst into tears when she looked at Jun Hu, but she stubbornly raised her head and refused to let the tears fall, which made her even more charming. She hugged Jun Hu tightly and said pitifully: "Ah Hu, I was wrong, can you forgive me?"
A warm aroma of soft jade rushed to his face, and Jun Hu's heart immediately fluttered.
…
On the large and soft bed in Feishuang Palace, Jun Hu was draped in a bright yellow obscene garment. The skirt of the garment was wide open, revealing his broad bronze chest muscles and strong waist. Yuan Shuang leaned lightly on his chest, her body loose and loose. Covered only by a thin brocade quilt, a pair of jade arms and half of slender jade legs were exposed, and the scene was extremely fragrant.
The two of them were talking to each other.
Jun Hu looked at the dark palace and asked Yuan Shuang with some doubts: "When I just came in, there were no servants in this palace, and why were there not even candles lit? Are these palace servants waiting? Isn’t it bad?”
"No, I didn't let them order it, did I?"
Jun Hu was puzzled, caressing her jade-white skin and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Yuan Shuang sighed: "If there is no His Majesty, Feishuang Palace is just a prison. Why would you light so many candles?"
Jun Hu felt soft in his heart when he heard this. He sighed in his heart that these women in the deep palace had entrusted their lives to him, waiting for his occasional blessing in the palace every day. They had wasted their good years, but he could really love How many people came over
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tighten his arms and hug Yuan Shuang tighter.
"Your Majesty, will you come again tomorrow?"
Jun Hu looked at Yuan Shuangru's eyes filled with autumn water, and couldn't bear to refuse her: "Come! I will come to see you tomorrow, but you must not darken the candlelight in the hall anymore. I'm afraid it's too dark and I won't be able to see. is you!"
"Okay, I will definitely light all the candles tomorrow and wait for Your Majesty in Feishuang Palace!" Yuan Shuang said affectionately.
Since the last quarrel between Qingcheng and Jun Hu, Jun Hu has not stepped into Fengzao Palace for more than a month. Qingcheng didn't care at first, thinking that in two days he would definitely come looking for him with the same shy face as before. She and Zhi'er, even if he is angry with her again, Zhi'er should be innocent!
But it has been more than a month, and Jun Hu has never appeared in Fengzao Palace. Therefore, every day during the court meeting, she became more and more displeased with Yuan Shuang, and often deliberately found trouble and scolded her. This is what all the concubines are doing today. They were all here, but she hadn't arrived yet. Qingcheng couldn't help but feel angry.
Seeing that Qingcheng was already angry, Concubine Mei couldn't help complaining: "Concubine Yuan Gui is really getting more and more helpless. She will be late every now and then, and she won't come today!"
"Who says it's not the case? When the queen was not married, Concubine Yuan Gui was in charge of the Sixth Palace, and concubines who were late would be punished by kneeling at the palace gate!" Concubine Li, who was punished by Yuan Shuang, said with a grudge.
"It's not because our queen has a good personality, and Concubine Yuan Gui is confident because she has been favored during these days!" Concubine Shun, who had been frustrated by Yuan Shuang several times, also took the opportunity to provoke her.
Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little irritated as she listened to the concubines in the palace chattering with each other. She said sternly: "Shut up, everyone!"
The hall was immediately silent. All the concubines who had been talking enthusiastically lowered their heads at this moment. Qingcheng sighed and said: "Hongyu, go to Feishuang Palace immediately to see what Concubine Yuan Gui means. Let so many people wait for her!"
"yes!"
Hongyu quickly trotted towards Feishuang Palace.
Qingcheng's face was as heavy as water, and she sat in the main hall without saying a word. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Luzhu quickly poured her a cup of tea and reminded her in a low voice: "Princess!"
Hearing this, Qingcheng glanced at the palace, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, pretended to take a sip of tea, and then said softly: "Sisters, please drink tea first!"
The concubines in the palace breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that her expression softened slightly, and they all thought to themselves, it seems that the Queen has been in a bad mood recently, and I can't become Concubine Yuan Gui's scapegoat.
