Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 184

Xia Shuning slept with Zhao Xiyan all morning, and Zhao Xiyan hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go for a moment.The emperor came back from Concubine Xian's place, that's all, the palace would definitely be surprised.It was rare for Su Qingshu, Yan Fengjun, Wulan Rongruo, and Wu Qingyao to get together. They first came to Feishuang Palace to ask for an interview, but they were blocked.They learned from Xiangyun that Zhao Xiyan dropped the flagon, and they all knew in their hearts that it could never be a good thing.But neither Zhao Xiyan nor Xia Shuning came out, and they had no way of knowing.What's more, Zhao Xiyan was in a bad mood, breaking in might make him even more unhappy.The four gathered together in front of Feishuang Palace and went to Yaohua Palace to find Qiu Ruyu for an answer. Qiu Ruyu almost woke up after Zhao Xiyan left.She almost couldn't get out of bed, so she forced herself to change into palace clothes after washing.As soon as the four girls came to Yaohua Palace and saw the red marks on Qiu Ruyu's neck, they knew exactly what happened last night.Su Qingshu only knew that Qiu Ruyu was the woman of the late Prince Xian, and Qi Chen was the child of the late Prince Xian, but he didn't know anything else.Yan Fengjun knew clearly about this Qiu Ruyu's past history, and also knew that this poor woman had been in love with Zhao Xiyan for many years.But Ulan Rongruo and Wu Qingyao didn't know about it. They always thought that Concubine Xian was the first to be favored, but she fell out of favor later.They had doubts for a long time. Qiu Ruyu knew Zhao Xiyan's true identity together with them. Since Qiu Ruyu was the first to enter the mansion and the children were born, he must have known about it long ago.How could they be as slow-witted as they are, what is going on, both of them are full of doubts?Both Su Qingshu and Yan Fengjun were taken aback. Was Qiu Ruyu taken in by Zhao Xiyan?But these years, Zhao Xiyan has been the coldest towards Qiu Ruyu, how could it be possible to abide by etiquette?Yan Fengjun couldn't believe it at all, Zhao Xiyan had always regarded Qiu Ruyu as a younger brother and sister, if he wanted to, how could he be innocent for ten years?

Qiu Ruyu didn't know the news that Zhao Xiyan locked herself in Feishuang Palace, let alone what they suddenly came to Yaohua Palace for.The five people had their own thoughts and looked at each other, Qiu Ruyu felt a little guilty.Last night, she managed to force her to death, but now she was a little embarrassed to face these women he was real.None of the five made a sound. After a long time, it was Yan Fengjun who broke the silence first.

"This is not a place to talk, and we should go to Fengqi Palace to greet the queen."

"What the imperial concubine sister said is, all sisters, please move to Fengqi Palace."

"Yes."

The women bowed down to salute Su Qingshu, Su Qingshu signaled to get up, turned around and left the Yaohua Palace first, sat on the phoenix and returned to the Fengqi Palace, and the sedan chairs of the rest followed behind.Su Qingshu vaguely felt that Qiu Ruyu's matter was not that simple. She still remembered that when she was not out of the cabinet, she heard that Zhao Xiyan met her on Qixi Festival, and she fell in love with her at first sight.Later, it was learned that Qiu Ruyu was actually the widow of Prince Xian, and Qichen was a posthumous child, probably because Zhao Xiyan brought him into the mansion out of brotherhood and said so on purpose.She is not stupid, anyone can see Qiu Ruyu's thoughts on Zhao Xiyan these years.But Zhao Xiyan has always been a self-restraint and respectful person, she is not surprised to accept anyone, except this Qiu Ruyu.After all, Qiu Ruyu is actually his younger brother and sister, Zhao Xiyan would never do such a thing.But the red marks on Qiu Ruyu's neck were obviously caused by sexual intercourse.Zhao Xiyan turned over her sign again last night, they must have consummated their marriage.But consummating the house is consummating the house. He is the emperor and he can do whoever he wants, but this reaction is completely wrong.Not only Su Qingshu thought so, but Yan Fengjun also couldn't figure it out.

The five of them arrived at Fengqi Palace, and as soon as Su Qingshu sat on the Phoenix chair, a palace maid whispered for a while.Su Qingshu's face became colder the more he heard it, and he became slightly angry.Qiu Ruyu didn't know why they came looking for her, but seeing their faces didn't look like a good thing.With a cold face, Su Qingshu stared at Qiu Ruyu to death, and drove out the maids and eunuchs in the hall, leaving only these masters.

"Concubine Xian! You are so courageous!"

When Su Qingshu said this, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.Concubine Xian didn't know what she did wrong, why did the queen suddenly attack her.Even if she used some means to force Zhao Xiyan to submit, but she was his concubine in name, so being favored was nothing.Qiu Ruyu knelt down in fear, but she responded neither humble nor overbearing.

"The concubine doesn't know what she did to make the queen so angry, so I ask the queen to explain it clearly."

"Aren't you crying when you see the coffin?"

"Please tell the queen."

"Come in!"

Holding a tray, Yinger walked slowly to Su Qingshu with a cat-like body, only to see a dagger on the tray.Qiu Ruyu looked at the dagger and was startled, it was the one hidden under the pillow last night.Su Qingshu picked up the dagger and threw it in front of Qiu Ruyu, questioning her.

"The emperor is staying in your palace, and you dare to hide a dagger under your pillow! What kind of heart do you have?"

When Su Qingshu said this, several people were shocked, their eyes widened in disbelief.Yan Fengjun was very calm. If Concubine Xian really wanted to plot against Zhao Xiyan, she would be dead and would not be ordered to stand here and admit her mistake.Qiu Ruyu panicked, she just wanted to commit suicide, but she never thought of hurting Zhao Xiyan.But she was having a hard time telling what happened last night, and now she really couldn't explain it clearly.

"Concubine, concubine..."

"The emperor went out from you, even the morning court. I locked myself in Feishuang Palace, and my palace and all the younger sisters couldn't get in. Just tell me honestly, what did you do to the emperor last night?"

"It is absolutely impossible for the concubine to hurt the emperor. This dagger... this dagger... is what the concubine wants to use to kill herself."

"Concubine Xian has to be careful with her words. The emperor is staying in Yaohua Palace, but you want to kill yourself. What kind of thoughts do you have?" Yan Fengjun couldn't bear the stupid words of Concubine Xian.No matter what the dagger is used for, it cannot be related to human life or conspiracy.In case the queen's brain is not working well and the trouble becomes serious, even the emperor Zhao Xiyan can't keep the concubine Xian.

"That's right, concubine Xian, what do you mean by this? You want to kill yourself, and you want to pull the emperor to give you a back? How courageous!" Ulan Rongruo couldn't bear it anymore. If you kill yourself, you have to pick Zhao Xiyan. Suicide, who is acting for?With Zhao Xiyan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to watch her commit suicide, and if she accidentally hurts him at that time, she will have no end with Concubine Xian.

"Sister Yu! What do you want to do?" Wu Qingyao's stomach was already very big, so how could she not be worried when she heard such news suddenly.Qiu Ruyu has been close friends with her these years, if she commits suicide, she will feel bad.If she wanted to touch Zhao Xiyan, she couldn't agree to it.The child in her womb has not yet been born, and Zhao Xiyan gradually treats her better after finally guarding her.If something happened to Zhao Xiyan at this time, she couldn't accept it at all.

"The people here are all my own sisters. The emperor knows everything well, so there's no need to hide it. Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist. Xianfei, you'd better tell the truth."

Qiu Ruyu was very embarrassed, she didn't know what to say.Qi Chen's life experience and her past with Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan once confessed to Wan Wan that they should not be revealed.But if she tells the whole story of last night, they will definitely break the casserole and ask the bottom line, and then they won't even try to hide it.Yan Fengjun could see Qiu Ruyu's entanglement and helplessness, thinking about it in a blink of an eye, maybe these women didn't know the truth.Zhao Xiyan tried so hard to hide this matter, if Qiu Ruyu was so stupid as to reveal the truth, Zhao Xiyan would probably die of anger.Yan Fengjun looked at Qiu Ruyu's unbelievable appearance, although he looked down on her, but Qichen's life experience really cannot be revealed.Qi Chen and Qi Rui were not Zhao Xiyan's biological parents, and they exposed the life experiences of the eldest son and the second son, and it was estimated that there would be chaos.Yan Fengjun opened his mouth to help Qiu Ruyu excuse, step by step leading her not to talk nonsense.But Su Qingshu just didn't want to let her go. She had hurt Zhao Xiyan so many times, and she had already regretted it, and now she couldn't tolerate someone hurting him.Seeing that Qiu Ruyu couldn't hold on anymore, a notification came from outside.

"The emperor is here! The imperial concubine is here!"

A roomful of women heard that Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning were here, but they haven't interrogated Qiu Ruyu yet.Zhao Xiyan led Xia Shuning and appeared at the door. He saw that Zhao Xiyan had changed into a sapphire blue casual dress, with a belt inlaid with yellow and dark flowers that Xia Shuning personally made for him around his waist, and his hair was simply tied with a hairband. Can't see anything wrong with him either.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor!"

"The concubine has seen the imperial concubine."

"It's just a few of you who are still saluting, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xiyan waved his fan to signal to get up, Zhao Xiyan was as gentle as jade as always, even with a faint smile.Several people bowed their heads to salute, only Qiu Ruyu knelt and saluted.Zhao Xiyan didn't look at her much, just glanced at her.Zhao Xiyan held Xia Shuning tightly all the way, and did not shy away from these women at all. Zhao Xiyan's love for Xia Shuning has always been so blatantly partial.

"Why is Concubine Xian kneeling? Hurry up and get back to your seat!"

"Thank you... Your Majesty..."

Qiu Ruyu returned to her original position, and sat down tremblingly, no one dared to look at her, let alone face Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan saw Wu Qingyao with a big belly again, and felt a little annoyed. What should I do with my almost seven-month-old body?Xia Shuning sat on the right side of Zhao Xiyan, holding Zhao Xiyan's left hand all the time. She felt embarrassed in front of these people.Su Qingshu was sitting on the left, but he didn't pay attention to their holding hands, but just looked at Qiu Ruyu, who had a pleasing eyebrow, feeling a little sullen.Xia Shuning pretended not to know anything, and smiled.

"Sisters and sisters, do you have any fun getting together today? No one invited me."

"Not only have you not been invited, but I have not been invited either. What is the queen doing?"

It's not like Zhao Xiyan didn't know what they were doing, but he had to know what they were doing, and played a double reed with Xia Shuning.Su Qingshu was even more confused, Zhao Xiyan didn't seem to be in trouble, but it was a fact that Concubine Xian hid a dagger under her pillow.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian hid a dagger under her pillow last night, and she just said that she killed herself with it. In order to be fair, I specially summoned all the sisters to come and ask."

Zhao Xiyan smiled, reached out and held Su Qingshu's hand with a smile.

"The empress is serious. I was in Yaohua Palace last night, and nothing happened. I also know this dagger. I think it looks good. I gave it to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian especially cherishes this dagger, so she hides it under her pillow. There is nothing else. Concubine Xian, do you think so?"

When Yan Fengjun heard the reason Zhao Xiyan asked, he almost couldn't laugh out loud, it was too obvious perfunctory.I've never heard that Concubine Xian loves daggers, let alone that anyone who loves daggers has to hide it under the pillow to show their love.If she hadn't seen strong winds and waves, she probably would have spewed out the tea in one gulp.Others didn't believe it when they heard the obvious reason, and they couldn't even fool a child.But Qiu Ruyu couldn't argue with it anymore, if Zhao Xiyan gave her a step down, she would definitely go down.

"The emperor is right."

"Then why didn't you say that?"

Zhao Xiyan held Su Qingshu tight in time, and patted her hand gently, very tenderly.

"Queen, don't ask any more questions. The first snow will fall soon. The palace just got a batch of new furs. I want a new robe. When will you be free to make me one? In such a cold winter day, can you Putting on the robe made by the queen, I will definitely be warm even if I don’t use the stove.”

"The concubine will send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a while, and it will be ready before the first snow. The emperor can rest assured."

"The queen has a pair of skillful hands, I am really blessed."

Zhao Xiyan took care of Su Qingshu and smiled without saying a word.Xia Shuning immediately responded, "My sister came late today, so don't take it offence, the empress. Early in the morning, the emperor said he had a headache, and he couldn't go to the court, and his vase fell. The concubine went to Feishuang Palace to treat the emperor early in the morning. It's only now."

"My younger sister is very skilled in medicine, the emperor has troubled my younger sister to take care of her."

After Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning finished singing the double reed, Su Qingshu was about to write the letter.It was obvious that Zhao Xiyan didn't want to talk about it. If she broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, she might offend him.They were not stupid, Zhao Xiyan's reluctance to say it was already obvious, after all, the emperor was fine, and it might not be enough to just rely on a dagger to make a fuss.Qiu Ruyu looked at Zhao Xiyan with a faint smile, her heart was full of twists and turns.Zhao Xiyan suddenly sat upright, and spoke a little seriously.

"Today is just full of people, so I won't talk about those with low status, and there are no slaves. You all know who I am, and I don't want to say any more. What I said next, you will remember it well." Stop it, I don't want to say it a second time."

"The emperor's instruction, the courtiers and concubines are all listening."

"First, although there are not many people in the harem, I have no intention of adding sisters to you. No one in the deep palace is allowed to be free, and neither do I. I hope you can understand and don't make things difficult for each other."

"Second, all of you here have children. You must educate your children well in the future. Don't focus on competing for favor and disregarding your children's upbringing, but you can't spoil them too much. Although I take care of the children's basic necessities of life and homework every day, but government affairs are too entangled. You can’t control them too much. As mothers, you must do your best.”

"Third, do things in moderation and think deeply about things."

"It's just a few points, there is nothing else for now. I grew up in the deep palace since I was a child, and I have seen everything. Today, I might as well open the skylight and speak honestly. I never thought that there would be so many women by my side, but since A fait accompli, I hope my harem can be clearer. If someone is obsessed with obsession, I really can't tolerate it by my side."

"Also, I am the same as you all, just be yourself, and you don't have to try to please anyone. If you follow me, you still have to live so cautiously, which is no different from those men who like three wives and four concubines. I can't give you too much, you should live as you are as much as you can. That's all I have to say, so I can do it for myself."

Zhao Xiyan's words were heartfelt, he never thought that there would be so many women around him.Now that he has it, he can't irresponsibly drive everyone away.He can only hope that these women will get along harmoniously in the future, so as not to make the harem a mess.He grew up in the deep palace, and he knew the methods of concubines like the back of his hand, and he hated them even more.All the women in the room understood Zhao Xiyan's words, Qiu Ruyu blushed until her ears were red.

"The courtiers and concubines will definitely follow the emperor's instruction."

"Don't just salute, and there are no outsiders. I don't know what you are like? You don't know what I am? Let's hold a family banquet tonight, just you, and bring the children."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xiyan smiled and smiled at them, then turned around and took Xia Shuning with him to go out.When Zhao Xiyan passed by Qiu Ruyu, his eyes darkened again and again, but no one saw him.Qiu Ruyu looked at the back of Zhao Xiyan going away, she seemed to grab his sleeve and ask him, did he forgive her?accepted her?After Zhao Xiyan left, these women were not polite anymore, they deliberately left without looking at Qiu Ruyu.
