After entering the inner palace, even the entourage of King Ye became cautious, and he took Liu Qiqiao all the way towards Jingren Palace.
King Ye used to live in Jingren Palace. After he became an adult, he went out of the palace to live in the new Palace Ye. Now, only the concubine and empress live in Jingren Palace.
Liu Qiqiao was already very tired. She didn't expect that this palace was so big, she didn't dare to ask, where would she take her to meet that noble concubine.
When he finally saw the gate of Jingin Palace, Liu Qiqiao didn't recognize the three characters. The entourage spoke to the internal officer guarding the gate. The internal officer stepped aside, and the entourage turned his head and motioned to Liu Qiqiao. Keep up with him.
The tall palace gate crosses the high threshold. Inside is a very wide courtyard. There are verandas on both sides to the front of the main hall. On both sides of the main hall, there are warm pavilions. The courtyard in the middle has several large pine and cypress trees. At the end of the year, the branches and trunks are knotted, and it is very shady. Along the veranda, there are a lot of flowers and trees. There are six palaces standing there inside and outside the hall. Liu Qiqiao walked over and carefully stepped over the threshold. , But found that these Gong'e were motionless like clay-plastic wood carvings. She turned her head curiously to look at them, and suddenly bumped into the entourage who had stopped moving in front of him. The entourage was kneeling halfway and greeted the people inside. She was knocked down. Almost fell.
Liu Qiqiao stopped by the entourage of King Ye, and the entourage said, "Don't kneel down yet!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly knelt down and listened to his entourage saying: "Go back to the noble concubine, my lord, Liu Qiqiao has been here!" Then he whispered to Liu Qiqiao, "Quickly please greet the noble concubine!"
Liu Qiqiao was shocked when she heard it. She knelt down in a hurry, and said: "Liu Qiqiao, a citizen girl, has seen the imperial concubine!"
Hearing a gentle voice, he said to Liu Qiqiao: "Be flat, give a seat!"
Someone brought Liu Qiqiao a chair, but Liu Qiqiao didn't dare to sit down, so he just set up a block and sat down.
She didn't dare to look up, but stared at the ground under her feet. The glazed ground with moiré patterns was pieced together in large chunks, so bright, and there was something very eye-catching beside her, Liu Qiqiao quietly crooked. When she turned her head to see, it was originally a crane-shaped lantern. There was a lantern in the crane's beak, with long thin legs, standing diagonally opposite Liu Qiqiao. She quietly looked at it, and it felt so fresh.
When the wind passed through the hall, Liu Qiqiao tilted his head and saw two big fans in the hall, hanging high on the moi well, with ropes tied down, and being pulled by the two Gong'e constantly, so that the wind blows. coming.
The carved dragon and phoenix on the Zaojing are very magnificent. Liu Qiqiao was staring surprisingly, but he heard the woman who had just said that she was flat and said: "Is this Shen Yunong's concubine?"
When Liu Qiqiao heard the question, he stood up hurriedly, Wanfu replied: "Yes, back to the imperial concubine, it is the servant girl!"
"Look up, let this palace take a look!" the imperial concubine empress said on it.
Liu Qiqiao slowly raised his head. Although he raised his head, he didn't dare to make any confusion.
I heard the imperial concubine said: "She is a beautiful woman, she is worthy of a man like Shen Yunong!"
A delicate voice said: "What the imperial concubine empress said, Qiluo also heard that Shen Yunong's wife is the daughter of Lord Huangfu, very dignified and graceful, and his few concubines are all beautiful and beautiful, each with its own merits! "
"Well, Liu Qiqiao, right? This name is also pleasing, sit down, don't be restrained!" said the concubine empress.
Liu Qiqiao continued to sit down.
Sitting down Liu Qiqiao still only had his face down at first, but listening to the woman who claimed to be Qiluo and the imperial concubine, you were talking every word, but they were all gossips, as if they were talking all the time, folk What clothes should I wear for my birthday
Liu Qiqiao listened, relaxed a little, and quietly raised his eyes to look.
Seeing Liu Qiqiao, the imperial concubine, was still surprised. Wang Ye is already more than 30 years old this year. The imperial concubine who wants to be his mother is also an old woman, but at first sight , But surprised Liu Qiqiao. The imperial concubine looked like she was a few years older than King Ye, she was not old at all, her skin was smooth, and the beads hanging from the phoenix crown on her head were reflected on her forehead. I feel very noble, elegant and magnificent, and look like a beautifully dressed beauty for a while.
"Liu Qiqiao, your grandfather has always been good. I followed the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River ten years ago and lived in the mansion south of you. The one who served was your grandfather. At that time, he was no more than ten Years, it’s the best age for youth..." said the imperial concubine empress, she smiled, and she seemed to see that she was still young, following the emperor’s scenery southward, followed by the most outstanding young people of the year. Some can write poems, some can paint, some can play and sing, and some can dance. The peaceful and prosperous time, the emperor travels, the powder is fragrant and the flowers are blooming along the way. "At that time, the emperor wanted to marry the nine princesses to her. , Ha ha, how beautiful it was then!"
These, not to mention Liu Qiqiao, even the King Ye is still a little knowledgeable. He knew that when the emperor went to the south, but that year, he and the prince stayed in the capital to serve as the government. It was also that year that he began to show off.
But back then, did his mother-in-law ever meet Shen Yunong? Listening to her tone, it turned out to be quite related.
The only one who was not surprised was Yuan Qiluo. She smiled and said: "Shen Yunong came to me yesterday, and said, thank you for the kindness of the imperial concubine and empress, and thanks to the imperial concubine, can he continue his relationship with Miss Huangfu!"
The imperial concubine nodded: "The nine princesses are very stubborn. At that time, I took a fancy to him and said that they would marry him. If the emperor was troubled by her, he would point to the marriage, but Shen Yunong said that he has already been married to Master Huangfu. My daughter has been privately booked for life, so I persuaded the emperor to accept the idea of finger marriage. Now it seems that Shen Yunong and his wife will have a good time. It seems that I did it right back then. They say they would rather demolish ten temples than break one marriage!"
Yuan Qiluo smiled and said, "That's why the noble concubine and empress are always blessed, because you always do good deeds!"
The concubine empress smiled and said to one side: "Hao'er, what do you ask Liu Qiqiao to do for me? You are still stuck in your house. There is also a family of young and old, so let her go back soon!"
"Yes, Erchen listened to the mother and concubine!" Wang Ye, who had been sitting on the side without making a sound, replied.
Hearing the voice of King Ye made Liu Qiqiao unconsciously shake.
This did not escape the eyes of the concubine empress, but she pretended not to see it, only smiled with Yuan Qiluo and talked for a while, and then said that it was too hot, and her head was a little dizzy and wanted to go to sleep, so she dismissed these people. , "Liu Qiqiao, go out of the palace with Qi Luo and go home. I heard that your mate is looking for you!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly responded, someone came over and pulled her up, "Qiqiao is it, let's go together!" Liu Qiqiao looked up and saw a pair of beautiful eyes.
In shock, Liu Qiqiao had already walked out with Yuan Qiluo.
When the imperial concubine saw them walking out, she said to King Ye: "Haoer, you stay!"
"Mother concubine, do you have anything to tell your son to leave?" King Ye said.
The imperial concubine drove all the maids out of the palace, and she said to King Ye: "Fuzzy, you are holding someone's concubine in your house, what's the matter?"
The king's name is Tianhao, and the imperial concubine called him Haoer when he was young.
"Mother concubine, the minister will handle this by himself!" Wang Ye didn't want to discuss the matter, so he wanted to take it lightly.
However, the imperial concubine did not allow him to do this. The imperial concubine empress looked at King Ye and said, "Haoer, you are a person who does great things and wants to win the world. How can you ruin your future for your own personal gain?"
"Mother concubine, you are serious, but how can a little woman stand on top of the world?" Wang Ye smiled, forward, poured tea for the imperial concubine, and brought it in front of the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine empress sighed, took the tea cup, and slowly said: "Although this Liu Qiqiao is a small woman, Shen Yunong is behind her. Also, you used to blame the Shen family for an unreasonable crime. Don’t argue, you think I’m in a deep palace and don’t know what you did? You are a prince, but you are a prince who kills the Shen family so much that your wealth is gone, don’t even think about it. People’s concubines are all worried about how the people below will persuade you and say about you? Then the Shen family is kind to me. If it wasn’t the Yuluofang of the Shen family, there would be no Liu Guifei later, let alone. King Ye? Now you are in the time when you are under the prestige and spread your reputation and virtue. You must not keep others' words and make people sick. If you become a major event and win the world, what kind of woman do you want, why not have it? Want to embarrass someone else's concubine?"
Hearing the words of the imperial concubine, Wang Ye knew that someone must have said something in front of the imperial concubine, but he also knew that what he did this time was really reckless. If someone accused him of stabbing the matter to the emperor, he would definitely be reprimanded. of.
Just watching that Liu Qiqiao was taken away by Yuan Qiluo, he was really upset, let her escape again and again, he really couldn't control her
The imperial concubine knows her son best. Although he does not refute anymore, but with such a brooding look in her eyes, she said: "Why is the prince such a waste and there are so many supporters? It is praised by the world. He is a sage corporal, how about you? Although you have repeatedly made great achievements in fighting against the drought in the south and fighting the Huns in the north, why do some people say that you are not the choice of the future emperor? It is nothing more than thinking that you are too sharp and do too much. Spicy, there is no room for others, Haoer, you are a person who does big things, so you shouldn't be entangled in focusing on small things..."
Wang Ye heard the mother and concubine say this, but bowed her head: "Yes, the mother and concubine have taught me so well, Hao'er took it down!"
The imperial concubine said: "You have to take it down seriously, and the mother and concubine can really rest assured!"
"Mother concubine, how did you know that Shen Yunong, you never heard you say?" King Ye is more concerned about this.
"Seven-year-old Shen Yunong has made her debut and is already very famous in the circle of nobles in the capital. He is free and easy, and he does not adhere to secular conventions. It is very surprising. He is a rare figure!" said the imperial concubine empress, in her eyes. Show a look of appreciation.
