138 A slap and a poisonous date(1/2)
As noon approached this day, the emperor ordered Wuling to invite the palaces to Zhangde Palace, saying that he had not seen the concubines in the palace for a long time, so he gave him a banquet to gather together to relieve the pain of longing for love.
This imperial edict made almost all the palaces busy.
However, some people were concerned about how to dress up more beautifully, and they were besieged by His Majesty at a glance among the crowd. While some people were cautious in their guesses, His Majesty suddenly invited the concubines to gather together, and what was the medicine sold in the gourd.
, smarter people can think of more.
As soon as Your Majesty returns to the palace, he makes such a movement. I guess it is not just a gathering, but I am afraid he has to take action. And with such a grand scene, you can tell at a glance that either Your Majesty or Concubine Deng is either.
Seeing that it was not far from Jiade Palace, Liao Zhuobi's close maid Tanger glanced at the group.
"Gui Ren, look, isn't that Gui Ren Yao?"
Liao Zhuobi thought there was something strange about this, so he closed his eyes and said lazily: "Your Majesty sent an order to the whole palace to attend the banquet, so she is naturally indispensable. What's so strange about this? If she doesn't come, that's strange."
Tanger nodded: "Niuji, why did I come here by Qiqi Yao? But how could I take you to walk here by Qiqi Yao? She is now heavy, but Jingui."
After hearing what she said, Liao Zhuobi opened her eyes: "Yes, why did she come here by herself?"
When his heart moved, Tanger couldn't help but smile: "Can it be that Guiren Yao wants to tell Your Majesty that the Empress has treated her harshly during this period when His Majesty was not in the palace?"
"Hmph." Liao Zhuobi smiled slightly: "The queen has no time to treat her harshly, and the queen can't even take care of herself."
"Yes." Tang'er nodded repeatedly: "I heard that the Queen's rubella is not bad this time. During these days when His Majesty was not in the palace, she has never left the palace, and she has never met her concubines."
"Isn't it safe for a few days if I have rashes all over my body? I'm not afraid of suddenly coming out and scaring people." Liao Zhuobi's words were full of contempt: "Your Majesty is not in the palace. It was originally a good opportunity for the queen, but God just has eyes.
She stopped her hands and feet... Speaking of this, this Concubine Yao is really lucky."
After a moment of pause, Liao Zhuobi thought: "Come on, go and call Yao Guiren. It happened that I had something to say to her."
"No." Tang'er signaled the servants to stay in the sedan chair, and he followed him a few steps forward. "Guru Yao, please wait."
Yao Jiaer heard the sound and naturally stopped. When she looked back, she saw that it was Tanger Liao’s maid, and Liao Zhuobi, who had gotten off the chariot in the distance. "It was a coincidence that they all rushed together."
Liao Zhuobi walked over slowly, with a gentle look on her face: "How could it be a coincidence? Your Majesty ordered everyone to come, and it would be difficult to meet them. But how did you hike over?"
As she walked closer, Liao Zhuobi found that Yao Jiaer's face was red, and there was a thin layer of fragrant sweat on her forehead. She knew that she had worked so hard along the way, and obviously she had to spend some effort. "It's so cold, why bother to work on herself?"
"To be honest, the imperial physician said that I was in poor strength and was very soft. Asking me to walk more will help me give birth naturally in the future."
"That's true." Liao Zhuobi remembered that when she gave birth to Liu Li, she was so bad, and her face turned a little bad. "It's like having a baby, it's like walking in the gate of hell. I tasted it at the beginning.
It feels so good. But looking at your good shape, this child should be a good child.”
"Accept your noble words." Yao Jiaer smiled slightly: "When I didn't have this child, I didn't think about these things. Now I just hope he can be safe."
"Oh!" These words made Liao Zhuobi very sad: "Yes. We mothers naturally know how to feel sorry for our children. But it is because of these children that we have to give in and cover up our sharpness...
”
Seeing the mist appearing in her eyes, Yao Jiaer hurriedly said, "Look, good days, why do I say these things? I'm making you feel uncomfortable."
"It's okay, it's okay." Liao Zhuobi cleaned up his face and smiled softly: "I just felt a moment of emotion, it's okay, you don't have to mind."
The two of them then walked forward together, and the servants who followed had to take a few steps back, not as tightly as they followed.
Liao Zhuobi said softly at this time: "I heard that Your Majesty went to visit the Queen's Palace and her expression was not very good... Could it be that the Queen was sick this time, so Your Majesty was so worried?"
In fact, for a moment, Liao Zhuobi also suspected that His Majesty was really interested in the queen. But if His Majesty really loved the queen, how could the queen have been enthroned, but she couldn't bear to leave Weiyang Palace! You know, the queen
I have been looking forward to going to Weiyang Palace for more than one day or two. Just when I entered the palace, I often took people to visit the garden and enjoy the scenery. How could His Majesty have no idea?
Yao Jiaer is also smart now, and Liao Zhuobi is obviously inquiring about this matter in his words. Her intention is to understand His Majesty's holy heart, but she is not concerned about the queen's condition at all. "I don't know this. But the queen
Our personality...we have to come today. We will see whether the disease is mild or severe at that time."
"Yes." Liao Zhuobi nodded: "There is also Guiren Deng, I don't know what happened. His Majesty went to her palace when he returned to the palace, and then the queen was... Haha, I really don't know what the queen felt.
.”
Speaking of this, Yao Jiaer couldn't help but slow down. "In the past, His Majesty had only the queen in his eyes, but once Concubine Deng entered the palace, the situation naturally reversed. It's great, I have to save you and I have to look at the queen's
Her face, she is afraid now, we can all relax."
These words surprised Liao Zhuobi. "What do you mean is that you are just afraid of the queen and will not be wary of the nobleman Deng? How do you know that once she gains power, she will not become the second queen?"
Yao Jiaer smiled slightly, without any explanation, but said briefly: "Some people look with their eyes, while others look with their hearts."
After saying this, she pointed to her heart.
Liao Zhuobi is even more strange.
What exactly is the Yao family’s gourd? Could it be that Guiren Deng bought her? Or did she feel that she had already broken up with the queen and had to seek another backer. But is Guiren Deng really reliable?
"I was a little surprised that you actually felt that way."
Yao Jiaer still smiled slightly, and had no intention of explaining.
In this way, Liao Zhuobi can't continue talking.
The two of them walked slowly towards Zhangde Palace shoulder to shoulder. After walking a few steps, they heard the slave sing: "The Empress is here-"
"The queen is really here." Liao Zhuobi couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips: "Your Majesty was not in the palace before, and the queen ignored all the things in the palace. As soon as His Majesty came back and visited the queen, his illness was cured immediately.
.It is really His Majesty’s blessing and protection.”
Yao Jiaer didn't say anything, and stood there waiting for Zipeng to come and help her.
When the queen's phoenix chariot stopped in front of her, the two of them were already bowing their heads and bowing their respects.
Yin Lingyue walked down slowly with Mo Li's hand, and glanced at the two nobles beside the phoenix chariot with Xu's eyes. "I thought it was late, but I didn't expect it was too early."
This means that someone who is pregnant and deliberately raises his identity and actually comes with her.
After hearing this, Yao Jiaer smiled and lowered her head: "The Empress, I am walking to Zhangde Palace, so it's a little late. It's not that the Empress came early. You happened to be here in time."
"Is that right?" Yin Lingyue covered her head with a layer of veil, but it did not affect her charming face. "It's hard for you to go so far when you are pregnant, and you really do your best for this child."
"Empress Xie praises me, but this is my duty as a concubine." Yao Jiaer could not see sharpness between her eyebrows, but the word "Wei Mother" still pierced into the queen's heart.
Yin Lingyue even suspected that the news of her being unable to become pregnant has leaked. Now everyone knows it, so everyone will laugh at her behind the scenes.
Trying to suppress the anger and resentment in her heart, she curled her lips: "I said it well, I hope you can do better."
Then, with Mo Li's hand, Yin Lingyue turned around and left.
Liao Zhuobi sniffed a sip of cold wind, and now she understood it. The queen really had no affection for Yao Jiaer. Now she could only slowly move closer to Guiren Deng.
So what should she do? Continue to stand secretly on the queen's side?
It would be better to kill her if she wanted her to bow to Deng Sui!
Thinking of this, her pace became much lighter.
Yao Jiaer said nothing, just held Zipin's hand and walked slowly at the end.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Yin Lingyue saluted the emperor with a dignified manner.
"Forget it." Liu Zhao was in a good mood and sneered in an extremely gentle tone: "Ling Yue, come and sit down."
The appearance of the queen surprised the concubines in the hall. Seeing her covering her face with a light gauze, she felt that the queen was really willing to go out in order to see Your Majesty.
"How is it, are you getting better?" Liu Zhao's eyes were filled with the warmth and tenderness of the past.
"Thank you for your care, I'm much better." Yin Lingyue lowered her eyes and smiled sweetly: "It's just that the imperial doctor told me not to blow the wind."
While speaking, the queen took off the veil covering her face and handed it to Mo Li.
Everyone looked over curiously, but there was no trace of a rash on the queen's face.
Wang Ruoying smiled and turned her head to Feng Zhishui beside her and said, "See it, this is the benefit of His Majesty's blessing and protection. Once His Majesty returned to the palace and visited the Queen, the rubella was cured without medicine."
Feng Zhishui pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Can anyone in this harem get the protection of His Majesty? We ordinary people can only take a look."
"Yes." Wang Ruoying agreed reluctantly, and she didn't feel that she was just an ordinary person to His Majesty.
"All people are all together, so let's pass on the meal." Liu Zhao looked at Wuling with a glance.
Wang Ruoying said casually: "Your Majesty, Concubine Deng hasn't come yet."
Her voice woke the concubines present to the senses. Yes, this nobleman Deng hasn't come yet.
Then why should the queen come and sing this one-man show?
"Gui Ren Deng... Could it be that his body is not yet ready?" Yin Lingyue pretended to be concerned and ordered Mo Li: "You go to Gad Palace to take a look. If Gui Ren Deng feels uncomfortable..."
"Thank you for your care." Deng Sui walked in at the right time and interrupted the queen's false words. "I have recovered, thank you for your concern."
Unlike the queen, Deng Sui did not cover his face with a veil or show his delicate pathology. Instead, he looked peaceful and calm. "I pay homage to Your Majesty."
Liu Zhao was stunned when she saw that her lilac Liuxian dress looked particularly beautiful, and she had another golden hairpin with peacock spreading her hair on her temples. It was rare to see her dress up like this with her peach pink and rouge on her cheeks.
She looks very good.
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Deng Sui smiled warmly and sat down at his own place with Sirou's hand.
Yin Lingyue was annoyed. When she saw Deng Sui and His Majesty laughing, she felt a pain that thousands of arrows pierced the heart.
"Guru Deng's complexion has improved. It seems that rubella should have been cured. A few days ago, I heard from the imperial physician that you are not ill and the high fever does not subside. I am still worried. I don't expect this disease to come in a fierce way, but it's good.
It's fast, too." Yin Lingyue was dissatisfied and annoyed how Su Wen treated her illness.
