As a result, after seven or eight days, when the emperor went to Huiming Hall to pay his respects again, he met the empress dowager's gentle eyes.
Feeling trembling for a while, Yu Wenjie sat down beside the soft couch, glanced at the Queen Mother, and then glanced at the concubines and Prince Xi sitting next to him.
"Your Majesty has worked hard." The Empress Dowager said: "Recently, there are many affairs in court, you should also pay attention to your health."
"Yeah." Yu Wenjie nodded, and inadvertently saw the teacups on the table, which seemed to have been replaced with new ones.
Noticing his gaze, the queen mother smiled more kindly: "The emperor's son's wishes have been received by Aijia, and Yuejian immediately put them into use. It's hard for you to remember Aijia's favorite Yueyao blue and white flowers."
Yue kiln blue and white? Yu Wenjie was silent, he didn't remember it early in the morning, so how could it be his intention
"In the mother's harem, a lot of things have been added in the past few days." Prince Xi said with a light smile: "Brother Huang really has a heart."
"Yes." Huo Xianrou said with a smile: "Things, big and small, make the Queen Mother happy."
Glancing at Hua Chun, the emperor opened his mouth, and was about to say that she made these things, when she jumped in front of him and said, "It's good that the queen mother is happy, and it can also make up for the regret that the emperor can't accompany the queen mother from time to time."
As she spoke, she gave him a wink, motioning him to say something nice.
Yu Wenjie pursed his lips, he never flattered the Empress Dowager, so he was not as favored as Yu Wenxi, if he wanted him to flatter her like her, he really couldn't do it.
So I chose to remain silent.
Looking at him bitterly, Hua Chun puffed up her chest, but still had to stand up for herself.
"Zichen Palace is not far from Huiming Palace." Prince Xi said flatly, "If Brother Huang wants to accompany mother, why would he have any regrets?"
The queen mother froze for a moment, lowering her eyes slightly.
Hua Chun hurriedly said: "The emperor has been caught up in government affairs recently. Even if he went to the concubine's palace, he would read the booklets until late at night, and he didn't even have time to have a snack. If he still came to see the queen mother, his tired face would also offend the queen mother." Distressed, it violates filial piety."
Prince Xi turned his head to look at her, his eyes were deep: "Concubine Hua has a sharp mouth."
"Everything my concubine said is true." Hua Chun got up, knelt in front of the queen mother's bed, and said, "My concubine is from a commoner background. I used to think that the palace was well-clothed and well-fed. The emperor was above ten thousand people, pampered and pampered, and life was guaranteed." Happy. But after I actually came in, the concubine realized that she was wrong. The emperor worked harder than anyone else, and there were a lot of things to do every day, especially recently, the court made His Majesty restless, and he often woke up in the middle of the night, sweating."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Yu Wenjie looked down at her, and wanted to ask himself when he woke up? Besides, even if she woke up with a start, how could she be able to find out given how soundly she slept
However, seeing her face deeply involved in the drama, he still endured it.
The queen mother was a little moved, she turned to look at him and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the court recently?"
The emperor paused, shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about the queen mother, the minister can solve it by himself."
"You child, everything is good, but you are too strong." The queen mother sighed, "Ai's family is your mother's queen. If you have any difficulties, you won't tell Ai's family?"
After thinking about it, he finally cooperated with Hua Chun and said something human: "It's unreasonable for a son to let his mother worry about it. That's unfilial. I want to be a filial son and ask my mother to help me."
Still so stubborn! The queen mother suddenly felt very distressed. The emperor never cried or made noises since he was a child, so she always took more care of Xi'er, and she really complied with the saying "crying children have milk". She owed Jie'er too much. too much.
It has been more than twenty years, and this is the first time she wakes up and realizes this problem. Jie'er likes to keep her unhappiness in her heart, neither telling her nor asking her for help, she fights for whatever she wants, fights for her father's favor, and grabs the throne by herself. On the contrary, she was selfish and asked him to take care of Xi'er more every time, and to give way to Xi'er more.
She gave Xi'er many things, except the throne, because Xie'er had won the throne by herself, so she couldn't take it back. Because of this, Xi'er felt dissatisfied in her heart. She also knew that she wanted to do something to her brother many times. massacre.
But, isn't this another way of favoring Xi'er
Eyes slightly wet, the Queen Mother thought for a long time, and finally looked at the people in front of her and said: "You all go back to rest, Hua Concubine stays, and have a chat with Ai's family."
Prince Xi frowned, glanced at Hua Chun, and slowly stood up. Huo Xianrou moved towards the emperor very naturally, and followed with a smile.
Hua Chun could understand the Empress Dowager's eyes, and understood that seven or eight days of hard work had finally brought about a good result, so she gave the emperor a reassuring look, and then stayed in the Huiming Palace.
After everyone had left, the queen mother finally said: "The emperor has been dealing with paperwork in the Hall of Mental Cultivation recently, has he told you anything that bothers you?"
"Yes." Hua Chun nodded: "The emperor doesn't like to talk, but concubines always like to make fun, and he is willing to talk to concubines occasionally."
"Then do you know what happened in the court recently?" The Empress Dowager said with a worried look on her face, "Those old ministers have not come into the palace to talk to Ai's family recently."
Glancing at her, Hua Chun whispered: "The Queen Mother never thought about why they stopped coming to the palace after something happened?"
Slightly stunned, the queen mother lowered her head and thought, it seems that it was the time when Prime Minister Hua asked Prince Xi to return to his fiefdom, an old official came into the palace to talk to her about this, intending to persuade her to agree, but she was eager to love her son and wanted Xi to return to his fief. If the prince spends more time with him, he will not allow it, and ask them not to talk anymore.
It seemed that after that day, there really were no veterans who came into the palace to persuade her.
"Could it be Prince Xi's business again this time?" The Queen Mother frowned.
Hua Chun said with an innocent face: "The concubine doesn't understand government affairs, and she doesn't know what's going on, but every time the emperor comes back from the court, he is very angry, and he will keep chanting 'brothers, brothers and sisters' while facing the wall, It takes a whole stick of incense to recite to calm down."
After finishing speaking, he tilted his head, smiled softly and said, "Perhaps in the Emperor's heart, Prince Xi is really important to him."
The Empress Dowager was startled, her expression was extremely complicated: "He actually read this?"
"That's right, the concubine thought it was weird at first, but seeing that the emperor's expression was not very good and he was really in pain, she never bothered her."
Xi'er must have done something again, right? The empress dowager was silent, forbearing like an emperor, so she could only say a few words in private.
Sighing lightly, the queen mother raised her head and began to look at Hua Chun with deep eyes.
Apart from being similar in appearance to Hua Jinghua, this woman also seems to be as alert as him. He just brought down Concubine Hui, and now he is standing in front of her and saying these things...
"There is a reason why my concubine has been coming to greet the queen mother these few days." Hua Chun met her scrutiny frankly, "Does the queen mother want to hear it?"
"you say."
"When my concubine first entered the palace, I saw that the emperor didn't like to come to Huiming Palace very much, and thought that the emperor didn't take you seriously. Now that I think about it, I should hit you." Hua Chun smiled, but frowned, looking very distressed: "Actually, every day Before going to bed, the emperor would ask the palace servants about your recent situation, how you ate, and how you slept. The concubine was curious, and asked why the emperor didn't come to pay his respects. He said, it is enough for you to have Prince Xi here, he will not Talking, always come to make things difficult for you."
Taking a deep breath, the Empress Dowager's eyes turned red instantly: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true!" Hua Chun said: "My concubine's heart hurts so much, so I want to do my filial piety for His Majesty, and convey to you all the feelings he can't express. I also hope that you... love the emperor more."
After talking about it, she was moved by herself, dammit, Yu Wenjie is really miserable!
The queen mother was already choked up, her eyes were out of focus, presumably she was caught in memories, Hua Chun was not in a hurry, when she came back to her senses, she said: "The concubine is also retiring first, please don't tell the emperor what the concubine said today. words, so as not to blame the emperor."
Let it go when you see it, the talk has already reached this point, the empress dowager should also feel sorry for the emperor, and it will be much easier for He Changan to bring up the matter of letting Prince Xi return to the fief after two more days.
"You go." The Queen Mother waved her hand wearily.
Hua Chun bowed his head and backed out, and he let out a sigh of relief as soon as he stepped out of the gate of Huiming Hall: "Cool!"
Rui'er followed behind her, and couldn't help laughing: "Master, why are you so happy?"
"It's natural to be happy when things go well." Hua Chun said with a smile, "Even today's sunset is prettier than usual!"
Rui'er smiled, and was about to tease her a few words, when suddenly a hand was stretched out behind her back, covering her mouth tightly, and dragged her to the palace road next to her.
"Oh!" Shocked to death, Rui'er hurriedly struggled, sobbing twice and Hua Chun in front heard it.
Hua Chun turned her head abruptly, looked at her with wide eyes, and hurriedly chased after her: "What are you doing!"
A black shadow shrouded her back, her pupils shrank slightly, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"You haven't come back yet?"
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor glanced outside the door and asked impatiently.
Eunuch Qin said: "Perhaps the queen mother has stayed for a while, and the servant sent someone to inquire about it."
"Um."
As the sun set, the surrounding area began to get dark. Hua Chun was blindfolded, and carried it all the way around countless palaces, and finally stopped in a room full of dusty smell.
With her mouth blocked and her eyes covered, what she faced was completely unknown fear. Pushed by someone, she staggered and fell to the ground, and then some hands came to tear her clothes.
Her heart sank suddenly, Hua Chun was terrified, even a female man could not calm down in the face of this kind of thing, Dang even struggled with all her strength, at the same time, she heard Rui Er's sobs , probably the same.
I don't know why, if she faced this kind of thing alone, she must be very flustered, but when she thought that there was someone beside her who needed her protection, Hua Chun quickly calmed down.
The outer robe was torn apart by them, and while there were still clothes inside, Hua Chun twitched twice, froze his upper body in mid-air, paused for a while, and then collapsed suddenly, like a sudden death.
The hands on her body stopped, and then someone wanted to sniff her. Hua Chun held his breath, and didn't let out the slightest breath, when a person next to him yelled: "Oops! I'm out of breath!"
There were about four or five people in the room. Hearing what this person said, they immediately stopped and surrounded her.
Someone reached out to press her pulse and said, "I'm not dead, I probably passed out."
"What should I do? It's okay to kill me?"
"You have to pay for us! Take off her robe and take it away."
Hua Chun gritted her teeth, trying to stay in a coma, feeling a lot of hands brushing her body, feeling nauseated.
The robes were stripped off, and the group of people quickly ran out. Rui'er's hands and feet were tied, and after struggling for a long time, she could only make a "woo-woo" sound.
At the critical moment, you have to rely on yourself! Hua Chun stood up, moved to the threshold, and rubbed the ropes on both hands against it. However, the threshold was made of wood, so I don't know how long it would take to grind a little bit.
It was completely dark, and the little eunuch went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to report: "The concubine Hua left the Hall of Huiming early in the morning."
With a sinking heart, the emperor jumped up against the table, and walked out without the cloak.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Qin said hastily, "Your servant should arrange someone to look for it. It's too late, you should not go out."
Turning a deaf ear to it, the emperor directly asked someone to lead the horse, and mounted the horse and galloped along the palace road.
The palace lanterns were burning, and Huo Zichong led the guards and began to look for the concubine Hua, which alarmed many people in the harem, but they found nothing after searching for half an hour.
Yu Wenjie's face became more and more ugly, and the person who grabbed Huiming Palace asked, "Where did she go?"
The little eunuch was frightened to death, and hurriedly said: "It is the direction to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the rest of the servants don't know."
Throwing people away, the emperor looked up at the palace with mountains and mountains, feeling flustered for the first time.
If something happened, how could she not go back for so long
In the abandoned palace, Hua Chun exhausted all her efforts and finally broke the rope.
