Chapter 179
Chapter 179
Zhao Xiyan was reviewing papers in Feishuang Palace, and Xiangyun came back from the Queen's place.Xiangyun bent his body like a cat, and clapped his hands in reply.
"Reporting to the emperor, the empress has already read the imperial decree. The empress has said that, the two cancel each other out, and I hope Zhaoyi can take care of herself in the future."
"I see, what else did the queen say?"
"The empress said that she made a new suit for the emperor, let's see when the emperor is free to try it on."
Zhao Xiyan didn't stop his hand of reviewing the memorial, the ink pen was still sketching on the paper, and the hair band was wrapped around his chest without realizing it.
"Later, you go to Weiyang Palace to pass a message, saying that I will stay overnight in Fengxi Palace tonight, and tell the imperial concubine not to wait for me. Go to Weiyang Palace to report, and then go to Fengqi Palace to inform the queen. I will try it tonight. Try on clothes."
"The slave obeys!"
"Also, tell the imperial concubine to go to bed earlier tonight. If I don't go to bed earlier, I will miss it."
"The servant will bring the words to you."
Zhao Xiyan threw down the notebook, took out a piece of letter paper from under the dragon case, and wrote a lot of words with a smile on his face.After finishing writing, I picked it up and dried it, took a private seal from the case and stamped it, and drew several magnolia flowers.Zhao Xiyan was very satisfied looking at the letter, his eyes were full of tenderness, he folded it carefully, put it in an envelope, and threw it to Xiangyun.
"Send this piece when you send the word to Weiyang Palace."
"Slaves must live up to their mission."
Xiangyun put the letter carefully in his bosom, seeing the emperor's happy face, he also knew that the letter contained love words for the imperial concubine.Xiangyun couldn't help being happy with Zhao Xiyan. This kind of affection is really like the water of the Yangtze River, with stormy waves and long streams.Thinking of how Xia Shuning read the letter, Zhao Xiyan might feel ashamed and annoyed, but he was in a particularly good mood, and kept correcting the memorial with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Before dinner, Xiangyun sent a letter to Weiyang Palace. After listening to Xiangyun's message and reading the letter, Xia Shuning was really ashamed and annoyed, but she couldn't stop being sweet.
Zhao Xiyan ate the dinner alone in Feishuang Palace, and went to Fengqi Palace after the paperwork was approved.Su Qingshu had been waiting a long time ago, if she hadn't had to be dignified as a queen of a country, she would have rushed into his arms as if she was in the palace.Sure enough, Zhao Xiyan entered the bedroom, and as soon as the door was closed, Su Qingshu ran into Zhao Xiyan's arms.Zhao Xiyan hugged her back and stroked her hair.
"What's the matter? But today's imperial decree made you unhappy?"
Su Qingshu shook his head in his arms.
"There is no one else here, if you are unhappy, tell me, don't hold back."
"That's a little unpleasant."
"Only a little? Shouldn't it be a lot, a lot?"
"The emperor teases his concubines!"
"I know you're not happy. Didn't you come here to coax you non-stop? You said you made a new robe and told me to try it out when I had time. It's obvious that I'm telling you to come and coax you right away. Am I right?"
"I really made a new robe, does the emperor believe it?"
Su Qingshu left Zhao Xiyan's arms, ran to the cabinet and took a royal blue robe, and kept showing it to Zhao Xiyan.
"Believe me, I believe everything the queen says. I will change into this robe and wear it all day after the court tomorrow, okay?"
"it is good."
Su Qingshu stuffed the robe back into the cabinet, closed the cabinet door, and trotted back into Zhao Xiyan's arms, feeling aggrieved.Wu Qingyao was made a concubine, and Su Qingshu felt uncomfortable all the time.Over the years, her petty temper has caused Wu Qingyao countless small trips, but there is no way to make her feel better.She knows what old things happened in the past. If she hadn't been stupid, Wu Qingyao would not have succeeded.But without Wu Qingyao's step-by-step temptation, she would not have made such a big mistake.If Wu Qingyao hadn't changed the bowl of medicine, if it was just an ordinary abortion medicine, with Xia Shuning's superb medical skills, the child would not be gone so soon.If it weren't for Wu Qingyao, she wouldn't have stabbed Zhao Xiyan that way.All the harm she did to Zhao Xiyan could not be done without Wu Qingyao's help.But she also knew that Zhao Xiyan was the emperor, and he had reasons for everything he wanted to do.What's more, if it wasn't for Wu Qingyao this time, the three of them would have been stabbed or killed by the assassin who fell from the sky.Su Qingshu reassured herself that the two offset each other, and she should be more magnanimous.Although she is a queen, she is also a woman, so she will still be stingy.
How could Zhao Xiyan not know Su Qingshu's thoughts?So when Xiangyun replied, he knew he was going to coax her.The two hugged for a while, Zhao Xiyan picked up Su Qingshu with one hand, and put him lightly on the bed.To coax a woman, one must not only coax with words, but also have practical actions, and it is best to have some surprises.Zhao Xiyan is a little thankful that he was born as a woman, so he understands women's thoughts.The next day, after Su Qingshu woke up and sent Zhao Xiyan to court, he forgot his sadness and was very happy.Just when she was about to dress up, Feishuang Palace sent a gift.Eight court ladies lined up, carrying this year's new rouge, red hairpins, clothes, and some delicate ornaments.Su Qingshu looked at the things, and really smiled with joy.
"Reporting to the empress, the emperor told the empress to sleep for a while, don't be in a hurry to get up, the emperor has already ordered the empresses of the palaces not to come to Fengqi Palace today to pay their respects. The emperor also said for a while that the house of internal affairs will send ten tanks There are newly opened lotus flowers for the empress to watch, and there are all kinds of them, and there are koi in the lotus tank. The emperor said that the empress likes lotus flowers, and she will be happy when she sees them."
"The emperor has a heart."
Su Qingshu rewarded the palace servants who came to give gifts, and lay back on the bed, where Zhao Xiyan slept last night, smelling the scent left on the pillow and quilt.Su Qingshu couldn't fall asleep, his mind was very excited, and he was too shy.Completely like a little girl who just fell in love, not at all like a mother who has already given birth to a child.
Early in the morning, the ceremony official who announced the decree had already arrived at Cuiwei Palace.Wu Qingyao was overwhelmed and pleasantly surprised, listening to the ritual officer read out the imperial decree to honor her as a concubine.The emperor clearly said that he was stubborn, why did he issue such an imperial edict?Full of doubts, Wu Qingyao accepted the imperial edict.The ceremony officials who came to announce the decree couldn't help congratulating her.Since the emperor ascended the throne, apart from Concubine Yan Gui, who gave birth to a pair of children, she was also promoted to Zhaoyi, but no one else was promoted.Wu Qingyao was promoted to the concubine's position by saving her, maybe she will be favored by the emperor, and maybe the eighth prince will crawl out of this concubine's belly next year, and everyone who knows the current affairs will come to curry favor with this new concubine.Wu Qingyao doesn't care about being a concubine, whether it's Zhaoyi or Concubine De, if she can't be favored by the emperor, so what if she is a queen?What's more, she doesn't have a mother's family, and glory doesn't mean much to her.It's just that she became a concubine, and according to the usual practice, the concubine ceremony will be held today, and according to the rules, the emperor will come to stay overnight.Wu Qingyao couldn't believe it, and she didn't know if the emperor would come to her palace according to the ancestral system.Even if he is not sure whether he will come, but there is hope.Soon Wu Qingyao was disappointed. In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager and the Queen came to host the Concubine Conferment Ceremony, and Zhao Xiyan didn't come at all.
In the afternoon, just as Zhao Xiyan returned to Feishuang Palace from the upper study, someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yi begs to see you!"
"pass!"
Zhao Xiyan had just discussed with the minister how to implement the asylum in the upper study room. He was a little tired at first and wanted to come back to rest for a while.Unexpectedly, before taking a sip of tea, Prince Yi came.Zhao Xiyan was also wondering why Seventh Brother could come to him for anything.
"I send my respects to the emperor!"
"Brother Seventh Emperor, don't be too polite, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, what's the matter, Brother Seventh Emperor?"
"Look at what the emperor said, how could Seventh Brother be this kind of person."
"You have traveled all over Daqi these years, and you may not be able to see you during the Chinese New Year. Brother Huang has the nerve to say that he is not such a person? If you have something to say, I am sleepy."
"Since the emperor said so, then the minister opened his mouth. It's like this. The year before last, the minister's concubine died of illness, and the position of concubine has always been vacant. I want to marry the second daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyin as the successor concubine, and take care of Prince Yi's mansion for my minister. "
"Brother Seven has taken a fancy to the daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyin's family? I'm afraid that this second-in-law daughter is so good-looking that the emperor is tempted."
"The emperor was joking, but it's just the appearance of the willow. The minister has taken a fancy to her inner self, and she speaks well, and has the same temperament as the minister. When it comes to beauty, the concubines in the emperor's palace are the most beautiful."
"Let's not talk about this, just tell me if the girl is willing? I can't do such a difficult thing. If you want to marry someone, I will marry him if he wants to."
"The emperor is such a person who loves the fragrance and loves the jade. The minister and the emperor are brothers. How could he do such a difficult thing. The minister and the second daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyin have been dating for a long time, and she is also willing."
"Okay, okay, tomorrow I will call the Marquis of Huaiyin to ask."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I really have nothing to repay you, so I just brought some fine wine from Dukang back to Beijing. I wonder if the Emperor is free for dinner? I would like to invite the Emperor to have some fine wine!"
"Alright, I haven't had a drink together with my brothers for a long time, how about I invite all of you to come and taste wine for dinner today?"
"Nature is wonderful!"
Zhao Xiyan gave orders and asked someone to invite King Yu and King Jin to the palace for a wine tasting.He thought about it, except for palace banquets, it is true that their brothers seldom eat and drink together.When the late emperor was still there, they often secretly went to the Zhaixing Tower to drink and have fun, and occasionally invited some dancing girls to add to the fun.After the Nanshan incident, they never drank together again.The last time they drank together, the second brother Zhuang Wang was still alive, and now he has been gone for more than five years.Before dinner, Zhao Xiyan specially left a few jars of good wine and sent someone to send them to Baoqing County Lord's Mansion. Qin Huaian was so happy that Zhao Xiyan called Zhao Xiyan for his loyalty.The four were the only remaining princes among the fourteen sons of the late emperor. Zhao Xiyan was supposed to be a princess, but if the princes were not counted, there would only be three left.King Yu made a mistake before, but Zhao Xiyan still kept him, King Yu is now in a state of fear.The four of them had a happy conversation, except for King Yu who was cautious.I don't know how long the quarrel has been going on, but Zhao Xiyan has almost passed out from drinking.He completely forgot that Wu Qingyao was decreed today to be concubine De, and that he should go to Cuiwei Palace to stay overnight.It was late at night, and all four of them were drunk.The three princes were carried out of the palace and sent back to the palace, only Zhao Xiyan was left unconscious in Feishuang Palace.Xiangyun was anxious, should he go to Cuiwei Palace tonight?
"The imperial supervisor, which palace should the emperor send tonight?"
"You ask me, who should I ask? According to the rules, I should go to the Cuiwei Palace where the newly promoted Concubine De is tonight, but the emperor didn't say anything."
"The emperor drinks like this, what else can he know?"
"Go and serve a bowl of hangover soup first!"
Xiangyun poured Zhao Xiyan a bowl of hangover soup, but Zhao Xiyan still showed no sign of sobriety.He was a little overjoyed tonight, and the four of them almost forgot their identities while drinking.Seeing that the night was getting late, Xiangyun was at a loss for what to do.He also didn't dare to send people to Weiyang Palace, in case the imperial concubine saw that the emperor was drunk and got angry with the emperor, the emperor would turn around and blame him, because even ten thousand heads would not be enough for him to be chopped off.Xiangyun struggled for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and said.
"The emperor will stay in Cuiwei Palace tonight according to the rules, and the dragon will drive away!"
Zhao Xiyan was helped onto Long Huan and headed all the way to Cuiwei Palace.At this time, Wu Qingyao took a bath and changed clothes and sat beside the bed in the bedroom of Cuiwei Palace, waiting for Zhao Xiyan.She had already waited until halfway through the red candle, probably the emperor would not come.She knew that Zhao Xiyan would not come, so she sat there and waited.
"The Emperor is here!"
The announcement came from afar, and Wu Qingyao couldn't believe that Zhao Xiyan would really come.He is willing to come, does this mean that he has really accepted himself?Wu Qingyao's heart kept beating, as if her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.Xiangyun and another eunuch helped the unconscious Zhao Xiyan into Wu Qingyao's bedroom. Wu Qingyao was both happy and sad when seeing Zhao Xiyan like this.But she didn't care about other things, and hurriedly reached out to help Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan's face leaned against Wu Qingyao's neck, and because of drinking, his breath was very hot, as if it was going to burn Wu Qingyao's body.After finally helping Zhao Xiyan to the bed, Xiangyun hurriedly retreated, and they were the only ones left in the room.
"My lord, why did you drink so much?"
"The emperor wake up, wake up."
Wu Qingyao called the maid to bring hot water, took off his coat, and wiped his face.Wu Qingyao didn't know whether to lie down or not, she was afraid that Zhao Xiyan would wake up tomorrow and see her beside her, and would push her away in disgust.She didn't want to see Zhao Xiyan like this, she would be sad.Wu Qingyao sat on the head of the bed like this, wiping his face, neck and hands over and over again with a towel.Zhao Xiyan seemed to be a little sober, and suddenly grabbed Wu Qingyao's hand, and used his strength to get up.Zhao Xiyan's face was flushed, and his breath smelled like wine.
"The emperor is sober?"
Zhao Xiyan was tottering towards her, he didn't look sober at all, Wu Qingyao didn't have enough strength, and it hurt a little from his grasp.
"Your majesty, you are hurting my concubine."
Zhao Xiyan's drunken eyes were hazy, and he kissed Wu Qingyao's red lips, Wu Qingyao's pupils widened.The kiss was very gentle at first, Wu Qingyao fell into a trap, and her whole body softened.The more Zhao Xiyan kissed, the more aggressive he became, and Wu Qingyao could hardly stand it anymore.Zhao Xiyan called Xia Shuning's name, but kissed Wu Qingyao, and Wu Qingyao burst into tears.She thought that the emperor liked her, but she never thought that she was just drunk and admitted the wrong person.Zhao Xiyan skillfully untied Wu Qingyao's clothes, and reached into Wu Qingyao's clothes. Wu Qingyao knew that this was just a distraction, but she still didn't want to push Zhao Xiyan away.Even if it was a erotic dream, even if he woke up and hated her, she would admit it.Xu took advantage of Jiu Jin, Zhao Xiyan's movements were not very gentle, and it didn't take long for Wu Qingyao to have no clothes covering her body.Wu Qingyao undressed Zhao Xiyan while coping with Zhao Xiyan's demands.The night was too short, Wu Qingyao didn't even want to see dawn.The voices in the dormitory were one after another, and Xiangyun, who was guarding outside the door, was relieved.The emperor is destined to favor Concubine De tonight, it is a good thing that the emperor was not sent back to Weiyang Palace, if the imperial concubine gets angry with the emperor and the emperor blames him, he really can't bear it.
