bastard returns

Imperial Palace, Fuyue Hall.

Fuyue Hall was not called Fuyue Hall in the past, but Qing'an Hall. It used to be the bedroom of Concubine Shu Gui, because the location is very good, very close to the emperor's upper study, and next door is the Imperial Garden. After being reprimanded and driven out of the palace, the emperor gave this place to the concubine Yue, and the name of the hall was changed to Fuyue Hall.

The concubine Yue Yue got the title of Jin in these two days. Although she was still hurt, it was the time of the spring breeze. She felt that the current scale of the Fuyue Palace was a bit out of line with her status, so after asking the emperor for instructions, she directly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find her. A group of craftsmen came and began to renovate it with great fanfare. All kinds of rare furnishings and precious decoration materials were transported to the palace one by one, which made other concubines jealous.

The weather is starting to warm up, and the sun is not stingy at all. The craftsmen are sweating outside with their shirts off, while in the depths of the deep inner hall, the concubine Yue is lying gracefully on her side on the beauty couch, and the maid feeds her a spoonful of iced drinks. plum soup.

She was only wearing a pink gauze dress, outlining her slender figure. Even in the bedroom, there was not a single piece of jewellery, especially the ruby ​​at the sideburns, which was the reason he was injured. After waking up, Mother Kang, who was next to the queen mother, personally delivered it, saying that it was a gift from the queen mother, to reward her for her meritorious escort, and she took this as a way to show off her face and capital, and she must wear it every day whether she saw anyone or not.

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that your shoulders are still healing. You can't eat too much of this cold food. After using this bowl, this servant will bring you another bowl of ginger tea." The maid who served her After saying these words, she walked back with an empty bowl, and immediately two other maids joined her, one holding a round fan, squatting on the side of the couch to fan her.

"It's so hot before summer, no wonder this injury can't be healed." Yue Bi looked at the large circle of white cloth tied around her shoulders with some annoyance. Being out of place, even if it can be cured, I don't know if it will leave scars in the future.

However, when she thought about the favor she had received from the emperor and even the empress dowager since she was injured, she still felt that the pain of flesh and blood was worth it.

On this matter, an eunuch dressed in court clothes outside the hall hurried in with his head down, and said to Concubine Yue: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness is here."

"What is he doing here at this time?" Although Yue Concubine was puzzled, she still waved her hand. The palace maid who was originally obsessed with the round fan immediately put down the fan in her hand, and instead carried out a thin veil from behind the beauty's couch. The screen came out and stood in front of Concubine Yue.

A moment later, Si Kongxu was also brought in by a palace servant. He was still dressed plainly, and he did not sit down immediately after entering the hall, but first bowed to the concubine Yue.

The palace people who were originally dressed next to Yue Concubine all retreated to the edge of the bedroom, just at a distance where they could see Yue Concubine and Sikong Xu without hearing their conversation.This was done on purpose by Concubine Yue. Even if she adopted Sikong Xu as his adoptive son, he was his mother in name, but the name was the name after all. The age difference between the two was actually not much different, and the emperor was always suspicious, so every time When Sikong Xu came to see him the next time, even if it was about important matters, Yue Bi would not dismiss the people around her. Not only that, she had to arrange for people to stay in the palace, and at the same time, she had to fight with Sikong Xu. A screen blocked it to make him look aboveboard.

"Why are you here now?" Yue Bi asked lightly.

"Shouldn't a son come to see his mother?" Si Kongxu asked back, with the same smile on his face, the prince in front of him looked handsome and outstanding, but the concubine Yue didn't appreciate his appearance. Leaving aside the old grievances, Concubine Yue always felt that Sikong Xu's appearance was too monstrous. The emperor had several sons, but he was the only one who was so handsome. Presumably there will be a lot of fate, and those who are close to him will not end well. If it is not that time does not wait for others, Concubine Yue really does not want to have anything to do with this Fourth Highness.

"Don't pretend you don't know why this palace recognizes you as a adopted son. Since everyone knows each other's details, these ordinary courtesies can be avoided if possible." Concubine Yue stroked her sleeves, "What's the matter with you?" ?”

"I sent a bowl of ginseng tea to the study just now, and I happened to chat with my father about Chunwei." Sikong Xu suddenly mentioned another matter, "The first day of next month will be Chunyu, but my father and the emperor The academicians of the Imperial Academy have discussed for several rounds, and it seems that they haven't decided what test questions to ask, so they are very distressed."

"Why do you worry about this kind of thing." Yuepin wondered: "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. The emperor is full of talents, and he can always come up with a clever question to select future talents for my great Zhou."

Sikong Xu cursed inwardly in his heart that this woman is really good at talking about high-sounding words, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all, instead she said in an uplifting tone: "But father is worrying about this matter, if this At that time, the empress can come up with a wonderful question for the father and solve the father's worries, so how does the empress think that the father will treat the empress."

The concubine Yue's eyes widened, "I will relieve the emperor's worries? Apart from the precepts on female taming, I usually don't care about those things in the Four Books and Five Classics. How can I relieve the emperor's worries?"

Sikong Xu smiled but did not speak, but pulled out an old thread-bound book from his sleeve robe like a conjuring, Yue Bi called the most personal maid, and immediately a maid came in from a distance, took the book and handed it over to him. In the hands of the concubine Yue, she backed away again.

"Withered Grass Collection?" Yue Concubine looked at the book in her hand and casually flipped through it, but it was full of obscure sentences, some of which she didn't even know, "What's the use of this stuff."

"I learned from the chief eunuch that later today, Emperor Father will come to Fuyue Hall to visit the empress and accompany her to have dinner." Sikong Xu said: "The empress will put this book in a conspicuous place. The emperor will definitely ask the empress where she got this book, and the empress only needs to say that she got it from the great scholar Gao Yu."

"What do you mean, can this solve the emperor's worries?"

"It's natural. The Withered Grass Collection was written by Su Dao, a great writer of a generation. Although even educated people would find it difficult to read, the mysterious content inside is not ordinary. If the emperor sees this book, he will surely Inspired by the content of the test questions, at that time, it will be all thanks to your empress." Sikong Xu continued: "Since your empress has joined hands with me, you can also feel that the sacred heart of the emperor is shaking. Now that the royal father is looking at it, if he makes a great contribution, the road to becoming a concubine will be smooth."

Seeing that Concubine Yue was still a little undecided, Sikong Xu couldn't help but give her another reassurance, "I am now the mother's adoptive son, so I will share the misfortune with the mother, and I will not harm you no matter what."

"In that case, let's keep this book." Yue Bi thought for a while, and thought it was just a book, so she casually placed it on the low table beside her.

Sikong Xu saw that the purpose of coming here had been achieved, so Shi Shiran stood up, wanting to say goodbye and leave, but before turning around, his eyes fell on the heavy white cloth around Yuebi's shoulders, he shook his head and said: "I'm a little puzzled. Your Majesty didn't have to do such a fake show. She knew that the assassin was arranged by us and would not hurt the father, but she still used her jade body to block it. I was scared outside the palace." One jump."

"Hmph, since you want to make a show, even if you want to make it fake, you have to make it real. If I don't do a full set, and with the emperor's temperament, if you get suspicious, it will be self-defeating." The concubine Yue bit her lip, "For the long-term It’s just a matter of flesh and blood wounds, I can bear it.”

"It's just a pity." Sikong Xu shook his head, "Your Majesty has made it this far, but we still haven't been able to pull the big emperor brother off the horse, nor have we completed the entrustment of the big summer queen mother. Brother Huang, he just lost the right to enter and leave the study room, thanks to the fact that we specially asked those assassins to assassinate ministers who were opposed to Brother Huang."

"The emperor has such a temperament. Before there is no conclusive evidence, he will only believe in his own judgment. If it weren't for the fact that I framed Concubine Shu Gui before, I showed some flaws, which aroused the emperor's suspicion and almost fell out of favor. I don't have to leave. This is a chess move that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts itself by eight hundred." Yue Bi snorted softly, "But the good news is that recently, because of the matter of the eldest prince, the old queen must have had a lot of headaches. To be a thorn in the side, he even went to the empress dowager to speak to the emperor to make me fall out of favor, and now my status is not downgraded but promoted, and even the empress dowager is on my side because of her meritorious service in saving him." He stroked his head. "If it wasn't for the fact that I am injured and should not go out now, I really can't wait to go to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects, and appreciate the expression on that old face."

Speaking of this, Yue Concubine's expression suddenly turned cold, as if she also realized that she had talked too much, she waved to Sikong Xu and said, "If you have nothing else to do, step back, I'm going to rest."

Only then did Sikong Xu salute, exit Fuyue Hall, looked outside at the craftsmen who were still putting glazed tiles on the roof under the scorching sun, shook his head, walked around the imperial garden, and went straight out of the palace gate.There was a very plain carriage waiting outside the palace gate, and when Sikong Xu got into the carriage, he realized that there was another fat middle-aged man in the carriage.

"Big man?" Sikong Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Are you so impatient?"

"Of course I'm worried about His Highness Fourth, but I'm just a little worried about Your Majesty's side." Pang Song accompanied him with a smile: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what happened?"

Sikong Xu nodded, "Don't worry, Pang Da. It's not the first time Concubine Yue has done such a thing that harms others and benefits herself. That woman will do anything for her own glory and wealth."

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Pang Song showed a relieved expression, and then smiled with his lips parted, "The next thing is up to Bachelor Ma, as long as after tonight, tomorrow Gao Yu will be able to The emperor once again presented the withered grass collection, the emperor's sacred heart, you have to think about it a few times, and after the start of the spring, you will reveal the matter of the master-student joint favoritism. I think Gao Yu is the position of the great scholar. , can you keep it!"

The author has something to say: I saw a classmate leave a message saying that Pang Song should not do anything to Gao Yu. In fact, I think I have explained enough in some places in the previous article.

Pang Song is not a local aristocrat in the capital, so for the sake of face, he has always wanted to consolidate his rights to get the approval of other local aristocrats, and then because of Ning Yuan's deceit, he made him confront Ningguo Gongfu, so for the sake of fame and self-protection, he I wanted to incorporate the Hanlin Academy so that I could control the Confucian scholars to seek greater rights and resources for myself, but was blocked by Gao Yu, so I always wanted to get rid of Gao Yu

It’s almost like this, of course, there may still be some imprecise places, welcome to correct me, but seriously, this is really just a brainless white article, purely for entertainment, some trivial places let it go with the wind ... (sorry face)
