35. Shu Guiren handed over the relic, and the noble concubine coldly glanced at her. Her heart was cold, and Shu Guiren knew that the noble concubine was disappointed in her. She didn't have two patrons of this harem, but she still had another chance tonight, and the emperor ordered her to sleep, and she must seize this opportunity.
The feast dispersed, and everyone went back to the palace. Mingyu was angry with Ying Luo this time, and Ying Luo did not say anything, but said that there was something to help everyone. The palace people of Changchun Palace all went according to her arrangement.
Hongli had just recovered from a serious illness, and at this time he also felt tired, and he sat on the palanquin and pretended to sleep. Because there are fireworks tonight, the management of the palace people in each palace is also relatively loose, and it is okay to allow you to go out of the palace to watch fireworks. However, at this moment, the banquet was over, and Li Yu saw that there were still palace people walking around in the palace, and whispered in pairs. As the chief eunuch, Li Yu naturally could not ignore it, this was his duty, and it was his responsibility in case something went wrong. He quietly called someone to inquire, and the man replied: "Some people saw that a star fell in the Changchun Palace when the fireworks were set off, and they all said that the fairies came down, and we all went to the Changchun Palace to see the fairies." Li Yu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "Bullshit! The fairy who came. Give me each to go back to the palace, otherwise I will be punished according to the law. The palace people were so frightened that they all went back to the palace, and they didn't dare to see the fairies anymore. Hongli's ears were pointed but he heard only a few words, "What fairy?" Li Yu carefully returned: "It is said that there are fairies in the Changchun Palace." Hongli didn't know what he thought and knocked on the car pole: "Go to Changchun Palace."
Hongli turned to changchun palace, and when he reached the palace gate, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras coming from inside, and he waved his hand at the people behind him and walked in alone. A fairy in the open space of the palace was dancing to clear the shadows, the ribbons fluttering, and the song and man dance. No, not a fairy, but a queen dressed as Roselle. Empress Fucha is impeccable as the empress of the Qing Dynasty, but as a woman, she is less feminine. Today, the empress's outfit made the emperor's eyes light up, and the empress saw the emperor come in and quickly stopped dancing, "Emperor, the concubines are disrespectful." But the emperor smiled and pulled the queen's hand: "Oh hehe, queen, it's cold outside, come and jump into the palace, jump to see a person." Ying Luo, Ming Yu and Er Qing stopped the instruments in their hands.
Mingyu saw that the emperor took the empress's hand and entered the palace, and asked Ying Luo, "How do you know that the emperor heard someone say that there are fairies in the Changchun Palace, and he will come." Ying Luo said lightly, "Guess." Mingyu looked at her doubtfully. Another palace maid said, "Fortunately, Ying Luo made a flowing fairy dress, and this time I just used it." Ying Luo didn't say anything and turned her head away, Er Qing looked at Ying Luo's back, "There are so many coincidences in the matter, I'm afraid she has already planned it." "You're saying that When She made her dress a month ago, she planned today's events." "Even if there is no matter today, there will be other things, and she will always find a way to bring the emperor in."
In the enclosure of the Yangxin Hall, Shu Guiren had been waiting until the sky turned white, until her heart cooled down a little. At dawn, she and the palace maid were walking on the way back to the palace, and she felt as if she were struggling to walk in the mire. When passing by the Royal Garden, I saw three or four palace girls laughing, and one of the palace girls raised the corner of her skirt to make a fluttering fairy, and she also asked others, "I don't look like Roselle like this." One person smiled, "Like, another day you ask Ying Luo to make you a flowing fairy dress to wear." Shu Guiren did not care, and after returning to the palace, her personal palace maid DongJu said, "Nobleman, do you know where the emperor went yesterday?" They said that yesterday the empress dowager dressed up as Roselle and kept the emperor. Shu Guiren's eyes were cold, and a scene from the Royal Garden just now appeared in front of her eyes. She would always remember the pain of last night from hope to disappointment. She said to Dong Juju, "Go and send a message to the noble concubine Niangniang, and say that the empress dowager will return to the palace the day after tomorrow, and I have a way to make the empress dowager abandon the empress from now on." Ask her to give me another chance. In a moment the winter jujube brought back ten words "I'll give you one last chance." ”
The day after, in the imperial garden, a group of concubines surrounded an old woman, and the queen herself supported her. This old woman was the empress dowager, and she clapped the queen's hand: "This has worked hard for the empress to take care of both the Forbidden City and the Changchun Garden." The empress put her arm around her: "Filial piety to the in-laws, taking care of the husband, this is the duty of the daughter-in-law." The empress dowager said as she walked, "I know that you are the most appropriate, and the women of this harem have half of you proper, just fine." ”
The noble concubine followed up: "Empress Dowager, you don't know that now the palace people are following the example of the empress dowager, hoping to get the emperor's favor!" When Ying Luo heard this, she immediately became alert. The noble concubine continued, "Empress Dowager Niangniang, is the relic that was presented to you a few days ago okay?" The empress dowager stood back and said kindly, "By the way, the Shu Gui people who have made offerings of relics can be here," and the Shu Gui people hurried forward to give the empress dowager a gift. Naran Pure Snow was already dignified in appearance, somewhat similar to the queen. When the empress dowager saw it, she liked it a little and took her hand: "Since you can find the Buddha's relic, you can see that you are related to the Buddha." Shu Guiren helped the empress dowager to go to the side of the road: "Empress Dowager, the concubine saw that the peony here bloomed well yesterday, do you want to go and see?" Wei Yongluo felt that today's events were a little strange, but for a moment he couldn't see anything wrong, so he had to be careful at all times, and at the same time give Mingyu a look, Mingyu is also a clever, and he is careful in everything.
Everyone was talking and laughing and walking forward, when suddenly there was a scream that startled everyone. The noble concubine gave a look, and Zhilan went forward past the crowd. Wei Yongluo reacted extremely quickly, and she gave Mingyu a look and quickly stepped out. Mingyu quickly followed Zhilan and hugged her, and Ying Luo ran to the front earlier.
Soon, the empress dowager arrived with everyone: "What's going on?" The empress dowager was a little panting. Ying Luo knelt down: "Back to the empress, a palace maid fell from Yanhui Pavilion and died." At this time, two palace girls stumbled down from the upper floor, and when they saw the crowd, they quickly knelt down and cried: "The three of us are the little palace girls who are responsible for cleaning Yanhui Pavilion, just now the three of us are playing a dress game, and she accidentally fell off the stairs for a while." The empress dowager's tone was stern: "What dress up game?" Ying Luo rushed to kneel down before others opened their mouths and returned: "Back to the empress dowager, it must be the Yang Guifei dressed as the noble concubine Niangniang is too beautiful, and the palace ladies are all competing to imitate." The noble concubine's eyes were on fire:, you nonsense! Ying Luo did not back down: "Noble Concubine Niangniang, the sound of the bamboo orchestra in your Chuxiu Palace is endless, and the emperor is lingering." The empress dowager's tone was not good: "Empress, the noble concubine is singing in the palace!" Queen Nono's didn't know what to say. Ying Luo continued, "The slave maid can prove that this palace lady is playing Yang Guifei. After saying this, she lifted the veil covering the palace maid's face, only to see that the palace maid's face was full of blood, and she saw that it was mixed with red and black oil paint.
The empress dowager ignored everyone and was helped back to the palace by her grandmother. Everyone here also dispersed, and Ying Luo waited for everyone to disperse before leaving, she opened her hand, only to see the red and black oil paint of her hand.
