Why are you so anxious?

Jun Shaoyou and Princess Pingyang walked through the flowers and willows together, and walked back to the table along the narrow path.But seeing the singing and dancing in the arena stopped, the drums and music were all silenced, the guests at the banquet had long since stopped talking and laughing, drinking and drinking, all of them looked secretive and fidgeted restlessly.Seeing Jun Shaoyou and Princess Pingyang coming together, and going straight to the side hall, they whispered even more.Some are sympathetic, some are gloating, some are indifferent, in various poses and with different expressions, and so on.

Jun Shaoyou secretly took a look at the table, and saw that most of the tables for princes, princesses and concubines were vacant. He didn't know if he went to watch the excitement following the commotion, or he pulled away halfway because he was afraid that he would be involved.However, most of the noble ladies dare not act rashly because of their status.No matter how they planned in their minds, when the queen didn't speak, they all stayed at the table obediently, watching the changes.

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly at Jun Shaoyou, with a look of concern on her face, and said: "The eldest sister-in-law has always been calm and reserved, no matter what happens next, Pingyang hopes that the eldest sister-in-law can keep calm, and don't let others Just read the joke about our royal family."

Jun Shaoyou still had that calm and breezy appearance, and said casually: "The princess is right."

Princess Pingyang sighed softly, and said: "No matter what, I think the eldest brother will not wrong the eldest sister-in-law."

Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, but did not answer.

While the two were talking, their footsteps never stopped until they reached the gate of the side hall.All the palace officials and eunuchs stood outside the door with their hands tied.Every eye, nose, nose, mouth and mouth is concerned, but there is no clue.

Jun Shaoyou and Ping Yang crossed the Yiqian Palace to let the eunuchs enter the palace, only to see the cloud temples and phoenix hairpins in the side hall, the fragrant wind lingered, and the crowd stood all over the place.Emperor Yongqian stood with his hands behind his back in embarrassment, and in front of him stood the Empress Yan, whose face turned blue and pale and was also extremely embarrassing.Behind the empress stood concubine Chen and other harem concubines and princes and princesses according to their ranks, all of them had strange expressions.And the ones who fell at the bottom turned out to be Huguogong's wife and a group of women in the Liguogong's mansion.

There stood a three-legged incense-burning tripod with a sapphire animal head and auspicious patterns carved all over its body. It was supposed to burn a faint fragrance of lily palace to refresh the mind, but at this moment, the tripod was filled with clear water, and the powdery spices mixed with clear water condensed Into a dark block, giving a messy feeling.

Beside the Fenxiang Yuding, Shen Liangyuan, who should have left the table long ago, and Jun Rouran, who was in messy clothes, were kneeling.Shen Liangyuan knelt on the ground with a pale complexion, trembling all over with fright, she had long since lost her sharp teeth, sharp mouth and charming softness.And Jun Rouran covered her face with her hands and wept in a low voice, and she could hear the real anxiety in her voice.

Seeing this scene, Princess Pingyang's heart sank, and she secretly thought that it was not good.

On the other hand, Jun Shaoyou glanced at Yang Daimei, who was ashen-faced, with a half-smile, then at Mrs. Li Guogong, who seemed to be forcibly enduring her expression, and then at the expressionless Princess Pingyang, He pursed his lips in disbelief.

The two tiptoed forward and bowed to Emperor Yongqian and the Empress.Emperor Yonggan waved his hands with a stern face, and Empress Yan didn't say a word, but just gave Jun Shaoyou a cold look.Jun Shaoyou retreated behind Zhuang Lin wisely, and remained silent.

Princess Pingyang pretended to be calm and walked behind Zhuang Zhou, looking at Shen Liangyuan and Jun Rouran who were clearly in trouble, and sighed secretly in her heart.

She didn't care what would happen to Shen Liangyuan and Jun Rouran, but it was a pity that this rare opportunity was for nothing.I'm afraid that after this point, it will be even more difficult for them to plot against Yong'an Palace.

Emperor Yongqian stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, looking at the harem concubines, princes and princesses who were plotting secretly, he was very angry.Regarding the open and secret struggle between the eldest son Zhuang Lin and the second son Zhuang Zhou, Emperor Yongqian has always maintained an attitude of watching the fire from afar.He was happy to see the success of this matter, but he didn't expect that one day the fire would actually burn on himself, or in such a shameful and embarrassing way.

The famous name of the whole life is destroyed overnight.Let's ask him how he will face Li Guogong and other veterans who swore to be loyal to him in the future?How should we face criticism and criticism between the government and the opposition?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongqian looked at Shen Liangyuan and Jun Rouran who were kneeling on the ground with a colder expression, his eyes were full of disgust.Even more annoyed, he glared at the queen who led many concubines and princes to the side hall to "catch rape".

Empress Yan's intestines turned green with regret.The blade-like eyes gouged out Shen Liangyuan and Jun Rouran who were kneeling on the ground, not only annoyed Shen Liangyuan's failure in handling affairs, but also jealous of Jun Rouran's greed.The three virgins and five strongs that Mingming said were very well-behaved, and the so-called "not to marry unless the eldest prince" was being tricked by the Jiaofang Palace from top to bottom to plan schemes for her.In the end, she dared to turn around and climb onto Emperor Yonggan's dragon bed.

Thinking that it was her own schemes that allowed Jun Rouran to succeed, the rage of being deceived almost burned Queen Yan's reason into ashes.A pair of catkins were tightly packed, and Dan Kou's nails embedded in the palm left a crescent-shaped mark, traces of blood snaked out, and soon soaked the bright yellow silk handkerchief.

What was even more frightening was that she had clearly calculated the time before she brought someone here to "catch rape". Why was there still a lot of "Acacia Fragrance" that should have been burned out in the censer.Not only was Concubine Chen and His Majesty bumping into each other, but she even wanted to push the matter to Jun Rouran, accusing her of being disobedient, and lost the chance to climb the dragon bed.

Now, that little bitch has turned into an innocent person implicated.Seeing the slightly embarrassing and guilty eyes of Emperor Yongqian on Jun Rouran from time to time, the empress felt her teeth itch with hatred.

Concubine Chen stood behind the empress, she sensed the empress' panic and resentment with clear eyes, and raised her eyebrows gloatingly when she lowered her head.

What does it mean to steal a chicken without losing money?This is called the present report!

Thinking of this, Concubine Chen cleared her throat, took a step forward, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this concubine thought that being able to seduce His Majesty by using enchanting spices in the heavily guarded Jiaofang Palace is by no means a matter for a fourth-rank good lady." It can be done. This bitch must have an internal response in the Jiaofang Palace. Please His Majesty investigate this matter thoroughly. Only in this way can the empress be restored to innocence, and the subjects of the world can be given an explanation."

Otherwise, the mere fact that the honor of the emperor had sex with the wives and daughters of his ministers in the side hall would be enough to ruin the good reputation of Emperor Yongqian for many years.

Before he could finish a sentence, he only heard the Queen Yan's hastily said "No".Before he could tell the reason, he was robbed by the concubine Chen's sarcasm: "Why not? Empress, you should know that this shameful scandal happened in your Jiaofang Palace. As the lord of the palace, it is naturally difficult for the empress." Let go of the blame. Now the empress doesn't want to find out the truth of this matter, but she is trying to cover it up and get away with it. Isn't the empress afraid of being said that you are colluding with Shen Liangyuan and murdering your majesty?"

The queen's complexion changed, and she said solemnly: "Concubine Chen's words are wrong. If something like this happens to the royal family, it can't be covered up, so how can it be publicized? This palace is also for the sake of the royal family's reputation."

After a pause, he warned everyone in the hall: "Listen, what happened today must not be passed on to the outside world. Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to the palace rules."

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The empress thinks that if something like this happens, you can pretend that nothing happened if you keep silent to outsiders?" Concubine Chen sneered, looked meaningfully at the concubine's order in the palace, and sneered Said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, it was Your Majesty who led us to 'appreciate the flowers and walk around' in the side hall. Now that there are so many people, can your Majesty guarantee that there will be no rumors from outside?"

This is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

The queen's face turned pale, and she almost lost her anger at being ridiculed by the concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen curled her lips in disdain, and suggested to Emperor Yongqian Surong: "I think this matter cannot be concealed. The most urgent thing is to investigate the clues as soon as possible, so that the government and the public will know the truth of your majesty and the monarch. The girl was innocently plotted against by others."

In this way, although the reputation is not inappropriate, it is better than Emperor Yongqian hooking up with his ministers' wives and daughters.

Emperor Yongqian naturally knew what Concubine Chen said was true.It's just that he not only knows this, but also understands that there must be a queen intervening behind this matter.The reason why Concubine Chen made such a proposal was to involve the queen in the end.

It's just that the affairs of the harem involved the previous court, and the current situation in the court is that the imperial power is supreme, and the aristocratic family and the military power are fighting against each other.In order to maintain balance, Emperor Yongqian decided not to involve the queen in this scandal.Not only that, Emperor Yongqian had to find a way to preserve this stupid woman who dared to implicate him.But for now, the only way is to lose the pawn and save the car.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongqian looked coldly at Shen Liangyuan, who was kneeling on the ground silently, and said in a cold voice: "The rules in the palace are strict, and no concubine is ever allowed to use such inferior drugs to invite pets. Mrs. Shen, After many years in the palace, he didn’t think about keeping himself safe, yet he dared to confuse the Sacred Heart with drugs, and even implicated innocent people. His crime should be punished.”

Before saying a word, Shen Liangyuan let out a weak cry of grief.Kneeling down in front of Emperor Yonggan, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of Emperor Yonggan's dragon robe, begging bitterly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Unmoved, Emperor Yongqian kicked Shen Liangyuan away, and said in a cold voice, "Come here, escort Mrs. Shen back to the palace, and Bai Ling will give her death."

Shen Liangyuan heard the words.Frightened, he collapsed to the ground.The little eunuch outside the hall listened to the orders, and hurried into the hall to take Shen Liangyuan away.Shen Liangyuan struggled and cried: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die. Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare me. The empress save me, I don't want to die—"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall looked at the Empress with profound eyes.Empress Yan's face turned blue and white, but she could only bite the bullet and said: "The sinful woman, Shen, has been in the palace for many years and did not want to serve the Holy Majesty. I am really ashamed of your family. Hurry up and plead guilty, so as not to implicate the clansmen."

Concubine Chen scoffed at the queen's words that she obviously threatened Shen Liangyuan with her family.But the effect of this speech was immediate.Shen Liangyuan really didn't dare to bet the lives of her parents and relatives, even though she was unwilling, she could only cry and beg His Majesty to spare her life, but she didn't dare to implicate others.

Wei Jingzhong naturally understood Emperor Yongqian's intentions, and immediately covered Shen Liangyuan's mouth and nose, and took the struggling Shen Liangyuan down.

Emperor Yongqian looked at the expressionless Mrs. Li Guogong with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes behind the crowd in embarrassment.After pondering for a long time, I still feel very ashamed.I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Mrs. Li Guogong: "The Da Langjun in the house also has a weak crown this year?"

Mrs. Li Guogong bowed slightly, and replied with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the dog is twenty years old this year."

Emperor Yongqian nodded and said: "Actually, it's the age to talk about marriage. I will definitely choose a good marriage for him."

When Mrs. Li Guogong heard this, she felt bitter in her mouth and wished she could cry out.However, she couldn't do this, she was not the same as those rich and powerful families.Li Guogong was just from a poor background, and he followed Yongqian Emperor when he was not prosperous, and he was honored today only because of His Majesty's trust.

Compared with the succession of incense and wealth from the Duke of Li's lineage, a mere fiancée who has not yet married is nothing.Even if this fiancée brought great embarrassment to Duke Li, His Majesty was still involved in it.As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.Even if Mrs. Li Guogong felt resentful in her heart, she could only bow respectfully at this moment and thank her.

Not only that, but also a full gratitude.

Emperor Yongqian also understood the embarrassment of the government of Liguo.For the current plan, many benefits can only be promised to make up for this loyal courtier's family a little bit.

Thinking of the fact that Duke Li had invited him to be his son, Emperor Yongqian pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to confer Li An, the first son of Duke Li's mansion, as his son, and the second son Li Xian bestowed the post of head of the fifth-rank household department.Because the third son, Li Yu, was studying at the Imperial Academy and was preparing for the Enke examination next year, Emperor Yongqian did not grant Li Yu an official status.However, he thought in his heart that if Li Yu failed the examination in the coming year, he would give Li Yu a Jinshi background and enter the Imperial Academy as an editor.

In this way, it can be regarded as a compensation for robbing his daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li Guogong kowtowed again to thank her.However, compared to the inconsistency just now, this thank you is sincere.In fact, she was not very satisfied with Jun Rouran, the daughter-in-law, because the girl's reputation was not innocent, and her mother's reputation was not proper.However, Li Guogong insisted on asking for a marriage for his son because of the in-law relationship between the Jun family and Yong'an Palace.Mrs. Li Guogong couldn't hold back the old man, so she could only agree.Now that an unmarried daughter-in-law whom she didn't want to see was exchanged for so many substantial benefits, Mrs. Li Guogong's wife felt that her face was still dull, but at least she was doing well.

And no matter how Jun Rouran planned and planned in this matter, there was always a reason for being calculated on the surface.Being talked about in the future, Duke Li's mansion will at least have a fig leaf.What's more, there are so many rumors in Beijing, and in another three to five years, no one will remember what happened today.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li Guogong's mood became more and more peaceful.

Having dealt with the most difficult Li Guogong's family, Emperor Yongqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.He looked at Jun Rouran, who was still kneeling on the spot and choking silently, her small face was aggrieved, her eyes were red from crying, and her pitiful appearance made her originally delicate face a little more charming.Emperor Yongqian's eyes fell on Jun Rouran's uneven body calmly, thinking of the ecstasy just now, he couldn't feel his soul swaying.

He is honored as the emperor, and he has favored countless beauties for so many years, but it is rare to meet a woman who is so relaxed in bed.I don't know if it's because of the drug aphrodisiac or Jun Rouran's natural talent...

Emperor Yonggan curled his lips indistinctly, and finally decided to hand over the woman to the queen.Then he waved his hand, and left leisurely on the grounds that he was busy with affairs in the past.

As soon as Emperor Yongqian left, the other concubines in the palace also made excuses to leave.Concubine Chen's charming eyes, which are as clear as autumn water, rolled around Jun Rouran, and she covered her mouth with a smile: "It's really unpredictable. The person who had to call my in-laws niece and daughter yesterday, in a blink of an eye, became a friend of ours. Equal sisters. The empress thinks that Miss Jun is also innocent and has been implicated, and she has to make good arrangements for her."

After speaking, he helped Jun Rouran who was kneeling on the ground up again, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, and said with a soft smile: "Look at this little face, crying like a little cat It's like a child, it really hurts. I know that you have been wronged, but this is also your deep blessing. If it is someone else, all kinds of calculations will not be able to calculate His Majesty's favor, right? Stop crying and go home Just wait, there will be benefits for you in the future."

Jun Rouran clasped her face with both hands, and fell into Concubine Chen's arms, sobbing and crying even more sadly.Blindly saying that he really has no face to live, it would be better if a white silk is dead.It also avoids implicating the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.Seeing this, Yang Daimei, who was at the end, couldn't care less about it, and stepped forward to hug Jun Rouran in her arms with distressed heart, and couldn't help comforting her.I couldn't help but blame the queen in my heart.After all, Princess Pingyang sent a post to invite all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing for today's banquet, and the place was in the Empress's Jiaofang Hall, which was supposed to be the place with the strictest rules and regulations, yet such a mistake happened.Although Yang Daimei guessed that there must be an element of Jun Rouran's willingness, she still blamed the Queen's line.

As the old saying goes, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and you will be as proud as the emperor's concubine.Now that Rouran is young, her eyes are fascinated by wealth and splendor, and she also has left-handedness for a while.But Yang Daimei never imagined that Jun Rouran would be so bold and foolish as to seek skin from a tiger...

She secretly glanced at the concubine Chen and the concubine who couldn't hide her anger, and her heart sank.

Seeing this, Concubine Chen stretched out her hand and patted the back of Jun Rouran's hand, then glanced at the queen, and said deliberately: "Ms. Jun is originally a noble lady, and she is a person who has a fixed family. Today, she was treated in the queen's palace. For such grievances, the Empress is naturally to blame. Fortunately, Your Majesty is kind enough to give the Empress a chance to make up for her mistakes, and the Empress must handle it well."

The queen clenched her fists with a sarcastic remark, but Concubine Chen turned her attention to Princess Pingyang.The eyes as bright as autumn water took a deep look at Pingyang. Concubine Chen smiled lightly and said, "Today's Peony Flower Banquet is indeed an eye-opener. No wonder Your Majesty loves the princess the most on weekdays. The princess is so cunning, it really makes me feel ashamed." Not as good."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the embarrassing people, waved his sleeves, and took Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou away.

The queen was stalked by wild geese all day long, but was pecked by geese and laughed at by concubine Chen face to face, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.However, she is a queen, and she cannot do whatever she wants.She could only suppress her anger forcibly, calm down and deal with the bitter fruit she had brewed.

Not to mention how the empress arranged for Jun Rouran to enter the palace, but only said that the concubine Chen and the concubine and the others returned to the Changji Palace.Jun Shaoyou, who had held back for a long time, finally laughed loudly, and said, "It really is a wonderful play. It's a pity that I was in the play at the time, and I couldn't see the whole thing clearly."

Zhuang Lin snorted coldly, and Su Yan said: "I never thought that Pingyang was already in danger, and she still had the mind to plot against you and me. It seems that she is not as unwilling to get married as she appears."

"That's wrong." Concubine Chen smiled slightly, waved her hand and said: "The reason why Pingyang dares to plot against you at this time is because she has nothing to fear. She knows that from our standpoint, no matter what, she will not let her marry the Huns .In that case, why did she put down her dignity to beg us? It’s just waiting for the result. If she can use this matter to win our trust and plot against us, it will be a surprise.”

Therefore, Pingyang never thought of surrendering to the Yongan Palace from the very beginning, and all the previous actions were just a play on the spot.The ultimate goal is just to plot against Zhuang Lin.However, she made all kinds of calculations, but she didn't expect that the chess pieces she thought she was holding in her hands were not obedient, and instead, she sold them out as soon as she turned her head.

The screen switched to three days ago, Yong'an Palace.

After Yang Daimei and Shen Qingmian got up and left the table, Jun Rouran knelt on the table, smiled and said to Jun Shaoyou: "I am petty and jealous by nature, and I never like people who are prettier or smarter than me. However, my brother actually took both of these two. Because of this matter, I did not make trouble for my brother. But no matter what, the fight between you and me is just a small friction between brothers and sisters, and it cannot be involved. Outside. If outsiders want to use this as an opportunity to instigate me to plot against my younger brother, then they have misjudged me."

Jun Shaoyou casually took a sip of the sour plum soup, raised his eyebrows and said, "Young lady, you've said these words very well. Forgive me for not understanding."

Jun Rouran smiled, and said: "A while ago, I went to the upper reaches of Qujiang Lake, and I ran into Princess Pingyang. The princess pulled me and talked a lot in private, all about the lord and my younger brother. Could it be that my younger brother Aren't you curious?"

Jun Shaoyou put down the teacup and looked at Jun Rouran.

Jun Rouran smiled slightly, and said something like this.Finally he said with a smile: "My younger brother and the prince are loving husband and wife, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate. It is really enviable. Although my sister is not a good person, she will not lose sight of the situation and insist on pestering the prince. Not for nothing Telling people to take advantage of me and underestimate my affection for the prince."

Seeing that Jun Rouran was able to say these words, Jun Shaoyou was quite surprised.

Seeing this, Jun Rouran smirked, and said, "Perhaps in your heart, I, Jun Rouran, am a domineering and shameless woman. Yes, I really like the prince. I also said at the beginning that I would not marry unless I was a prince. But the prince is not I like me. At the beginning, I thought that if the prince had even the slightest feeling for me, I would be willing to marry him as a concubine. But he has no feeling for me at all. Even so, I will not be like a dog skin plaster Sticking to him and annoying him. In the final analysis, I, Jun Rouran, is the eldest daughter of the Founding Duke's mansion, with a high status, how can I despise myself just because of a man. "

Jun Shaoyou looked Jun Rouran up and down for a long time, but remained silent.

Jun Rouran ignored how much shock she had brought to Jun Shaoyou, and said directly: "According to what Princess Pingyang told me, she will hold a peony flower party in the Jiaofang Palace in the near future, and will invite all the clan to go there Banquet. On the surface, it seems that everyone is invited to discuss the Xiongnu marriage, but the ultimate goal is to find witnesses to frame the prince. If you don’t believe me, you might as well wait patiently for a day or two to see how Princess Pingyang will behave.”

Jun Shaoyou still played with the teacup in his hand and remained silent.It's not that he doesn't believe Jun Rouran's words.On the contrary, based on his understanding of Princess Pingyang, it is possible for him to know this matter.Nine will happen.But Jun Shaoyou was not worried that he would fall into Princess Pingyang's trap.In contrast, Jun Shaoyou cares more about what Jun Rouran wants, and more about how he plans to maximize his benefits.

Jun Shaoyou pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "What is the purpose of the eldest lady, just say it outright."

Jun Rouran blinked her eyes innocently, and said with a soft smile: "My brother is too worried. I do these things just because I don't want my brother to fight against the wall and let outsiders see the joke. If my brother doesn't believe it, I can't help it."

She just didn't want to be inferior to Jun Shaoyou for the rest of her life.Even if you can't marry Yong'an Wang Zhuanglin, you can't be inferior to Jun Shaoyou, bow your knees, flatter and flatter.She wanted to be equal to Jun Shaoyou, and even asked Jun Shaoyou to greet her and say hello.Her only chance is to enter the palace.In this way, even if Zhuang Lin becomes the great treasure in the future, as the former emperor's concubine, she should be respected by the younger generations.

What's more, how could she just watch Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou, the bastards, living happily in a place beyond her reach?

Jun Rouran slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and when she lowered her eyebrows and smiled, she concealed the calculation and madness in her eyes.

-

In the Changji Palace, Jun Shaoyou couldn't understand the development of the matter, so he asked unconsciously, "Our original plan was not to push the boat along the way and expose the layout of the Queen's line to the public. How did it end up implicating Your Majesty?"

Concubine Chen slightly curled her lips, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "If I say that this Jun Rouran went down to your majesty from the very beginning, do you believe it or not?"
