Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0054 Abandoning love and affection seems ruthless, throwing away all kindness is useless

Both Xi Shiyue and Lan Ling went out, and there were only two people sitting silently facing each other in the whole western room.There is a bottle of cloisonné enamel chi ear smoker in the ground, the fragrance of dragon belly is soft and timeless, it burns into curls of smoke, and emits softly and gracefully.Floating in the air, it slowly landed on the body, stained with clothes, and could not disperse for a long time.

This is the smell that belongs only to the emperor. Because of this addition, a single spice can also reveal the majesty and luxury of the royal family.

Daiyu felt a little stuffy from the smell, raised her hand to push the window open, her sleeves slid down her arm, revealing a slender wrist like jade.

The emperor thought to himself, when he read Zhou Bangyan's "Youth Tour", at the beginning, he felt that it was not elegant enough, but too charming and beautiful.Thinking about it now, the real product tastes like a new orange.

He looked away, tried his best to hide these cross-line thoughts, and took a sip of tea to cover up.The tea is rushing, and the mouth is cool and thirst-quenching.The emperor ate two more mouthfuls before he asked Daiyu, "What does Concubine Shu look like when you send someone there?"

Daiyu withdrew her hand and sat upright, guessing early on that he must be asking, she naturally told him one by one truthfully: "Concubine Shu is happy to see her natal younger sister, and the two sisters shared similar feelings with each other. After that emotional moment passed, the empress led me to Lijingxuan to see Princess Rongshou."

Concubine Shu cherishes the younger sister in the family, and the emperor has known it for a long time.He didn't care about Concubine Shu's situation, he only asked the princess: "How is Zhang Jiao?"

"The princess is asleep, and the nanny is sitting on the side watching. Her eyes are clear. Concubine Shu said to thank the emperor and the ancestors for their care. When the princess is well, she will lead the princess to thank her."

What kind of words come out of what kind of mouth, people's feelings are not the same.Daiyu's words made people feel comfortable and convinced.

A slight smile floated on the emperor's face: "It's too boring in the palace. Seeing that it's going to be a small heat, when Zhang Jiao gets better, it's time to go to the Yuanmingyuan. You haven't been in the garden yet, it's relaxing there, not as good as in the palace. It's very well-behaved. The scenery is also good, the pond is full of water and lotus leaves, that is the appearance of Infinity Bi. If you see it, you will like it..."

This is a rule handed down from Emperor Jiashun of the Great Ming Dynasty in the previous dynasty.The emperor didn't stay in the palace all the time. For example, in summer, after the Dragon Boat Festival, he should prepare to go to the Yuanmingyuan. It was an excellent summer resort, and most of them came back after the autumnal equinox.

The Supreme Emperor liked the Old Summer Palace very much at the beginning, but now he and the Empress Dowager Xi lived in the Summer Palace for a long time, so they no longer went to the Old Summer Palace.The emperor didn't feel bored in the palace, nor did he feel that the Old Summer Palace was much more relaxing.He is a very self-disciplined person. If he changes places, he still abides by those rules.However, this year is different. With one more person, there is one more expectation.He had long thought of taking Daiyu to the Old Summer Palace, for one thing the scenery was better, and the other one was more freedom.

The emperor had endless expectations for this trip to the Old Summer Palace: "The Old Summer Palace used to be called Huaqing Pool. Later, our Murong family took over the country from the Sheng family of the previous dynasty. The generation of the first emperor changed the name of the garden to Wanhe Garden. , the Supreme Emperor gave me the garden. Because I called myself Yuanming Layman, I changed the name to Yuanmingyuan."

In the past, there are also shining places, which are not so cramped, and can be spoken out to her.

The emperor was so excited that he even thought of where Daiyu would live in the Old Summer Palace.Unexpectedly, he was full of yearning, but Daiyu was not interested.

She said: "It sounds like a good place, very attractive. It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Can't go?The emperor was a little dazed, but immediately understood: "You must want to follow the ancestor and Princess Yangyi." He smiled and said: "The ancestor and the princess are also going there, why can't you go?"

However, Daiyu still shook her head: "My mother's birthday is May [-]th, and she is forty years old this year, so I have to make careful preparations. My mother lost her health a few years ago, and I have been taking care of the trivial matters at home. Stay today Meeting Your Majesty in Huazi Hall, I also want to bid farewell to the Emperor..."

She came to say goodbye.He didn't think of Daiyu until after finishing the political affairs, and thought to himself that she might leave early in the morning.However, when he walked into Huazitang and saw her, he couldn't tell how happy he was at that moment.That posture was so normal and natural that it gave him the illusion that she was already his queen.

Yet illusions are just illusions.

She was waiting for him, looking forward to him, just wanted to tell him that she was going back.

The heavy helplessness and loss were like waves, rolling up little by little, engulfing him whole.The emperor suddenly felt that Daiyu was a little unfeeling, and she just watched her sing a one-man show, silently, just waiting for this moment.Waiting for a reason he couldn't refuse, he said goodbye decisively.

"I..." The emperor moved his mouth, wanting to speak, but it was as if someone had strangled his neck, so painful and stuffy that he couldn't speak.

Daiyu suddenly became considerate, and asked him to say the rest of the words: "What does the emperor want to say?"

"I want to say..."

Xi Shiyue and Lan Ling interrupted when the real words were not spoken.One person came in with a plate of watermelon, and delivered it to the kang table like a treasure offering.The pattern of mandarin ducks and lotuses is painted on the blue and white flower plate, which makes the watermelon sweet and bright.But no one was in the mood to eat even a bite.

The atmosphere was too dignified and weird, Lan Ling glanced at Xi Shiyue, and asked him with his eyes.Xi Shiyue was also confused and at a loss.Could it be that you lost your temper again?Just for those two maids?

If you are a slave, you have to share the worries of your master.Xi Shiyue guessed that Daiyu blamed all the faults on the emperor?As a result, the emperor didn't know it, and Daiyu became angry?

Xi Shiyue thought for a while, and smiled bravely: "The county master, don't be angry, the servants are all kittens and puppies, play with them when they are happy, and let them go if they are not happy. If you are really angry with them, the more you will Take care of them and give them face."

As he said that, he picked up a piece of watermelon with a small silver fork, and brought it to Daiyu with a shy face: "Those two maids are newly elected, and they don't understand the rules of the imperial court. If you offend the county magistrate, you should be beaten up." , Let Liugong see what happens to the following criminals!"

Daiyu reached out to pick up the watermelon, but didn't eat it, she just held it in her hand and turned it slowly.She didn't look at anyone, her eyes fell on the watermelon, and it seemed to fall on a hazy place.

She laughed at herself and said, "That's it, it's too much to chew." Then, she put down the watermelon and said coldly: "I don't deserve to eat the watermelon from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. If you really eat this mouthful, it will be passed on tomorrow." The city is full of wind and rain, and I have no way to survive. You all say that the Hall of Mental Cultivation is the most well-mannered place, if this is the case here, what about other places?"

The emperor didn't know what was going on, he was puzzled at first, and then he noticed something weird after hearing it.He frowned and raised his voice: "Xi Shiyue! What's going on!"

Xi Shiyue was so scared that he fell to the ground in an instant: "Your Majesty, you...you don't know?"

Although he was terrified and bewildered, he wished to applaud Daiyu in his heart.There is no trick to win, and this lawsuit is beautiful.She didn't say it herself, but the emperor asked.When the emperor asked clearly, the anger would flare up even more.

Just one word, absolutely!

The emperor looked at Daiyu, she was very calm, which made him feel even more uncomfortable: "Someone bumped into you in front of the emperor?"

Daiyu ignored him, so he could only ask Xi Shiyue: "Who is so bold?"

"Slave... I just know this, I haven't had time to investigate..." Xi Shiyue kowtowed again and again, telling him what Cai Lanling said just now, passing it on by word of mouth, and adding more embellishments: "Our county lord is so innocent. A clean girl’s house, let them talk like this, even a clay figurine can’t bear it. The slaves think that these little hooves have poisonous mouths!”

"Bastard!" The emperor was so angry that he got up and walked around twice, then turned his head and kicked Xi Shiyue on the shoulder, kicking him all over the ground.Daiyu was taken aback, pinched the handkerchief to protect her heart, and involuntarily stood up supporting the Kang table.

Xi Shiyue suddenly suffered from pain, got up almost instantly, and lay down again, pleading guilty again and again: "The slave is a death penalty, because the slave is incompetent..."

"You are incompetent!" the emperor pointed at him and scolded angrily: "This is what you do? The Hall of Mental Cultivation is almost like a sieve, anyone can come in! I think you, the deputy chief executive, have done it well!"

"The emperor calm down! The servant must find out the matter..."

"There's no need to check!" The emperor clenched his hands into fists and said in a cold voice, "There are so many maids in the Palace of Mental Cultivation, all of them are called to come and kneel under the verandah."

"Yes." Xi Shiyue had expected it a long time ago, but still shrank his neck in fright.

Just as he was about to get up to deliver a message, the emperor's indifferent order came again: "Confession, if you confess now, I will spare their lives. If you refuse to confess, ask Gong Zhengsi to take them away immediately, then it will not be a matter of one or two lives." Already!"

Xi Shiyue was trembling, and walked out of the west room with his hands tied.When he came out, he looked up, hey, Director Li is standing in Qianyuan Zishili.Xi Shiyue was instantly happy, but his face looked sad like a dead father: "Chairman, you go in and have a look? I can't make it. I have never seen him get so angry since I served the emperor."

What kind of character is Long Live Lord? When he was thrown to study in Huangzhuang by the deposed emperor, he could calmly plan for the future.Even when the Eastern Empress Dowager made a big disturbance in Kunyi Palace and forced him to issue an edict to abolish the Western Empress Dowager, he was still able to dismiss it calmly.

It is such a Buddha-like person who is very angry right now.Anyone with eyes knows that this time someone will be unlucky.

Li Shunxiang showed his teeth with a fake smile: "What's going on?"

"What's going on, chief executive, don't you know?" Xi Shiyue turned his head and told Xiao Xizi, "Go, bring all the maids in front of the imperial court. There's no need for Aunt Lanxi, she will serve tea in the open room, so she doesn't know about these things. "

Li Shunxiang's heart felt cold, and he couldn't help leaning over to ask Xi Shiyue: "Why is the emperor so angry?"

Xi Shiyue also smiled back at him: "There are two palace maids living and talking in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the emperor knows about it, and now they are going to be punished."
