Empress and concubine

Just as Zhao Yi expected, Xia Yunjing, who had just boasted about Haikou in front of Chu Yao, would not immediately forget his "golden words", after all, he said it as "you have no jokes", and the people who heard it just now are still present Look at it.

If it is said that the imperial concubine and Xia Yunjing's mother and son have a good relationship, if Xia Yunjing wants to come, it will make Chu Yao feel a little wronged, and she can barely cover it up. Anyway, Xia Wenyuan is still left in Xia Yunjing's residence, and he didn't come with him. It's strange to break up If it was not Xia Wenyuan, a child, at most Chu Yao would be unlucky.But the bad thing is that Chu Yao is very fond of Xia Yunjing now, and Xia Yunjing watched him grow up, so there is a kind of affection in it, and Xia Wenyuan is probably Xia Yunjing's only child, and he is also Xia Yunjing. Jian, now that the old palace man said that the two treasures were taken together as the bottom one, Xia Yunjing and the imperial concubine were at odds with each other, so naturally they were annoyed.

Xia Yunjing had a gloomy face, watching the old palace man until cold sweat broke out on his back, Fang suddenly kicked the old palace man out, cursing, "Useless slave, can't take care of the lonely concubine, Still trying to put the blame on the master, come, someone, put this slave who turned black and white and committed chaos into the violent room, and asked someone to teach her well, what is the rule, I don’t believe it, it’s wrong to frame the master indiscriminately. Such a mindless slave can say that."

"Your Highness, please forgive me, old slave, old slave..."

The old palace man's face turned pale, and he knelt down to Xia Yunjing to beg for mercy with a plop. Xia Yunjing was impatient to listen to her, and immediately interrupted her, tilted his head, only looked at her from the corner of his eyes, and his voice was not loud. But there was a bit of ruthlessness, "You are an old palace man who has been around the concubine for many years. You never thought that you would do such a thing. You should explain who ordered it early, so as not to suffer so much flesh and blood." Xia Yunjing saw that the old palace man was still complaining, so he said, "Don't mess around with the concubine mother, she's just a servant girl... what are you doing in a daze, and you still have this kind of servant girl who harbors evil intentions, waiting to ask her to murder the orphan Your mother and concubine?"

As soon as these words came out, the old palace man immediately stopped moving, his hands and feet were still trembling, and several servants came up immediately, trying to drag her out.

"Stop," a sharp female voice sounded, "my Yuquan Palace is also a place where you can do whatever you want? Get out of this palace," the female voice paused for a while, "Wan Zhong, hurry up and arrest you!" Aunt Zhou helped her up."

"Yes." A familiar voice sounded, and Chu Yao looked sideways slightly.

Chu Yao looked around following the sound, and saw a beautiful woman in palace attire, wearing a navy blue dress, the clothes were a little messy, her hair was not straightened, and she was only combed into a bun, pressed down with a silver comb, Xu Shi came in a hurry and was already scattered.That beauty is Xia Yunjing's mother, she was about forty years old, because she gave birth to her eldest son, she was always favored, lived a very smooth life and took good care of her, now it seems that she is only in her early thirties.It's just that recently, he has suffered the pain of bereavement one after another, his face is a little gray, his spirit is not very good, and his color has lost three points.But as soon as she saw Xia Yunjing, a vivid annoyance appeared in her eyes, and she became domineering as she watched.

In Chu Yao's mind, she suddenly connected her with Princess Qingjue, Han Shi. No wonder Xia Yunjing was not willing to let Princess Qingjue into the palace, but when he saw it, he agreed, and even surpassed himself, canonizing her as Yuanhua Concubine, I love you so much.At that time, Xia Yunjing thought that Xia Yunjing really loved the Han family, but now it seems that it is only because Han's temperament is similar to that of the noble concubine, and her behavior is quite domineering and extravagant when she was favored by the noble concubine. She became a noble concubine and gave her to live in Yuquan Palace.Probably because of being poisoned by the hatred and poison of his biological mother, he wanted to find comfort in a woman who was similar to his biological mother. From this point of view, Xia Yunjing is also a pitiful person.

It's just that the old saying goes well, "A poor person must have something to hate." Xia Yunjing is probably like this. Because he is pitiful, he wants others to be pitiful to be happy.The rigid relationship between their mother and child is the fault of the imperial concubine alone.

Chu Yao shifted her gaze to the imperial concubine, the hunched servant, a name emerged in her memory——Wan Zhong.A few years ago, the little servant who followed Wan Neishi to Prince Wei's mansion before he was canonized, did he have so much trust from the imperial concubine?Chu Yao thought to herself that the imperial concubine might not know that the two servants Wan Neishi and Wan Zhong's master and apprentice whom she had always trusted were working for Xia Yunjing.

"Who would dare to look alone?" Xia Yunjing's eyes were full of evil spirits, but he did not back down when he met the eyes of the noble concubine.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but shudder, but with a lot of tenacity, she still held on, but after all, it couldn't compare to Xia Yunjing's evil spirit honed from the battlefield.Wan Zhong saw the right moment, and stepped forward to support the imperial concubine just when her feet were weak.Xia Yunjing got an appreciative look.

Xia Yunjing saw that the imperial concubine was no longer stubborn, so she was no longer as fierce as before, but still stiffly bowed to the imperial concubine, "Gu also cares about the concubine mother, like this kind of servant who is used to provoking and not thinking about business, is beside the concubine mother. I don't know what to do under the guise of concubine mother's name."

"You," the imperial concubine half leaned on Wan Zhong, pointed at Xia Yunjing, trembling with rage, "If you dare to dispose of Aunt Zhou, get the hell out of Yuquan Palace, and you won't have to come back again in the future."

As soon as Chu Yao heard the concubine's words, she knew that she would suffer. Although she peeked at the concubine's face with regret, she still shook her head in her heart. Although she was an old palace man who was always by her side to serve and give advice, what she said was really true. Punishment.It's all right to regard the palace man as more important than his own son, and even threaten his own son, saying that if the old palace man disappears, his son doesn't have to come... I'm afraid it will backfire.

Chu Yao and Zhao Yi looked at each other, and they both stepped forward to salute the imperial concubine, "Zhao (Chu) has seen the concubine mother."

The noble concubine was already a little annoyed, but when she saw Xia Yunjing's face became more and more gloomy, she became stubborn again, but fortunately she was interrupted by Zhao Yi and Chu Yao, so even though her complexion was not good, she still nodded to the two of them, "Get up .”

When Xia Yunjing saw this, he chose to forget it, and didn't bother with the words that the noble concubine had blurted out just now, and Aunt Zhou was naturally forgotten, barely stealing a little chance of survival.

"Thank you, Mother Concubine," Zhao Yi and Chu Yao said in unison.

"You are the Chu family?" The imperial concubine ignored Xia Yunjing and Zhao Yi, and instead asked Chu Yao directly.The imperial concubine calmed down a bit, and added, "Which family are you a lady from? Why have I never seen it before?"

Chu Yao now understands what it means to say that misfortune comes from the mouth. There is one in front of him, and he can't see it if he wants to.Chu Yao took a sneak peek at Xia Yunjing, her face was really ugly, her hands were clenched into fists, her joints turned white from exertion, she was startled, and she couldn't help but cautiously replied, "Mother and concubine, my concubine is the daughter of the Feng family of Li Guo. Because my mother was so grateful that she couldn't always be at the knees of my grandfather, she sent my concubine to my grandfather's house in the south, so my concubine took my mother's surname."

"In this way, you are a girl from the Li country who has lived in Daxia all year round," the imperial concubine became interested, "raise your head and ask me to take a look."

Chu Yao bowed, slowly raised her head, fixed her eyes on the place under the concubine's lips, and did not look directly into the concubine's eyes.

"Well, it's polite, she is indeed my daughter who grew up in Daxia, and she has the temperament of a daughter in the boudoir of Daxia." When the concubine spoke, she had a kind of superiority and complacency of being a Daxia person, maybe Chu Yao got it Her eyesight and attitude towards Chu Yao have also improved a lot, "I heard that when King Wei came to Beijing, you have been taking care of the prince and managing the whole house?"

"Returning to mother and concubine, that's right." Seeing that the imperial concubine likes the daughter of Daxia's boudoir, Chu Yao couldn't help but control her behavior to become more gentle. Every move, every frown and smile seemed to be carefully cultivated. Occasionally, she smiled brightly, Come out with a little cuteness, and people like it.After answering a few more words, Chu Yao was able to walk to the imperial concubine and be with her.

Seeing that the imperial concubine's face was much better, Chu Yao said, "Mother concubine, can I have breakfast? It happens that His Highness hasn't used it yet, why not use it together? Also ask the concubine and madam to serve you together once."

After Zhao Yi heard this, she subconsciously looked at Xia Yunjing, and seeing that his face was hard to distinguish, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart, and also leaned forward, smiling at the imperial concubine, "That's right, I'm calling my wife to wait now Serve the mother and concubine once."

Coaxed like this, the imperial concubine also turned around and returned to the room. Zhao Yi and Chu Yao both started to comb the imperial concubine into a cloud-like bun and decorated various complicated light-colored floral decorations. Xia Yunjing came in afterward and saw Zhao Yi give the imperial concubine To trace the eyebrows, Chu Yao served the imperial concubine to even out the rouge.

The imperial concubine saw Xia Yunjing from the mirror, and Zhao Yi and Chu Yao were busy beside her, and suddenly sighed, "In the past, my son and daughter-in-law also served me like this, and I have grandson Chenghuan, but now things are different..."

Chu Yao shook her hand and nearly dropped Rouge, subconsciously glanced at Xia Yunjing, then put Rouge back on the table, stood with her head bowed, and stood with Zhao Yi.

"It's all lonely, it's my fault that I'm so tired that I'm in a bad mood," Xia Yunjing said with a smile on his face, but the words he said were not much nicer than the imperial concubine's. I didn't bark anymore, I just said it was your empress.

The concubine's hands trembled, she gritted her teeth and said, "What's your crime? You're the prince now, and you're about to ascend the throne to become emperor. Where did the crime come from?"

"Isn't the empress the clearest about Gu's crimes? Every day, she keeps saying that Gu is killing his father and brother... Huh, there is no excuse for the crime. The empress is really clever, but it's a pity that everyone knows that Gu is the first emperor to praise Chun. Filial piety, but also love brothers, kindly treat elder brothers and orphans, the empress's theory of catching wind and shadows is purely absurd."

"Everyone says it's groundless, but if there is no ground, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no ground. I heard that someone spread rumors in the palace, only saying that the empress was at fault, and made my elder brother feel ashamed. I just committed suicide. I don't know that the empress..."

"Get out, get out of here," the imperial concubine didn't wait for Xia Yunjing to finish, she swept the things on the dressing table to the ground like crazy, and Chu Yao was almost crushed because she was so close. Fortunately, Zhao Yi was by her side and gave her a hand.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well today, so I will come back tomorrow." After Xia Yunjing finished speaking, he walked out with a smile without waiting for the imperial concubine to respond.

Zhao Yi and Chu Yao looked at each other, then said goodbye to the imperial concubine, and when she came out, Aunt Zhou had long since disappeared.
