Twilight collected
Chapter 8
The remnant night is over, and the capital is not far away after traveling out of the mountains and on the official road.
The morning is slightly dark, and Han Xuan overlooks the distance. Behind the magnificent city wall, there is a touch of mountain scenery, on which you can see pavilions, towers and pavilions, dotted with stars, hidden among the beautiful trees.
After several months here, Hanxuan gradually understands that when building a house or a mansion here, it is most expensive to be near the mountains, perhaps it means to be condescending.To the north of the capital is Yushan, where the Pearl Palace and the Yuge Xiantai are located.The palace of Hou Men, where the nobles live, is surrounded by the foot of the mountain.The rest of the flat land became the streets and alleys of the city, where the common people lived.
Hanxuan looked at it for a long time, his heart ached slightly, and he closed the carved window with a thud.Tian Que noticed the sound, and said lightly, "You're awake."
"I was startled last night, I didn't sleep soundly, I just slept for a while."
"You can go to the mansion from time to time, and then you can wash up and rest."
"Okay." Hanxuan didn't want to say much. He heard people's voices gradually rising. people.
After a long time, Tianque finally said: "Remember, after entering the gate of the capital, I am not the son of King Yuji, nor are you from the palace."
Hanxuan's heart seemed to be frozen: "You told me that I am the Lei family of Yichuan, and my great-grandfather was once a judge in the reign of Emperor Linhuang, but now there are few people in my family, and no one is an official in the court anymore."
"Xijian is already in the palace, and will help me when the time comes. The selection of the palace is just a formality. Si Chengping has made a plan early on. Whether it is in the palace or Xi's residence, once the arrangement is made, I have already sent someone to do it. There is no doubt that Paul will be elected."
"I am not from a well-known family, let alone look like a country, and my talents and learning are only mediocre. I am afraid that it will be difficult to change my destiny with manpower."
"My vision is definitely not wrong. You can also rest assured that there is a certain arrangement in the house."
Han Xuan didn't see Tian Que's face, only saw the back, but the depression on Tian Que's face was clear from his words.Han Xuan said nonuo: "I will try my best."
"The most important head crown in the palace, strive to be rare and ingenious, and have a nickname of Jiayu. I have already prepared it, and I will definitely not let you lose."
"Women are pleasing to themselves, no matter how gorgeous they are, no one will come to see them."
Xiaoguang Xiwei, accompanied by dust in the Tao, only taught Tianque's back to be slightly blurred.Hanxuan didn't say any more, listening to the rumble of cars, he walked towards the city.
After all, the capital is lively, the streets and alleys are full of people coming and going.And this small car, slowly crossing the street, will go to the old house at the foot of the mountain.The two of them were relatively silent all the way, they just let the car slowly walk from the noise into the cold silence.
"The house is a bit old and a bit remote. Fortunately, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is quite elegant. Nowadays, there are not many houses near the mountains in central Beijing. The one I liked, I had to go through many times before I was able to buy it. This place has been uninhabited for many years, and it is not very eye-catching. I have ordered people to hurry up and replace the plaque."
Tianque Fuhanxuan got off his horse.I saw that the entrance hall is deserted, not as clean and tidy as the side entrance, and the gate of the mansion is also more decayed, only the brand-new "Lei Mansion" plaque is very inconsistent at a glance.
The two walked in slowly, the courtyard was in a state of decay, the weeds seemed to have been pulled out hastily just a few days ago, and the rest was a little bit of mess.Going through the hall and courtyard, walking to the depths, you can gradually see a little bit of mountain scenery behind the house.
At the end of the East Road is Yuqiao Qingxi, a waterside pavilion.
"Lianxiang Pavilion." Hanxuan looked at the small octagonal building, only playing with taste, "The moon is covered by clouds, this name is very good, I will live here."
Tian Que remained calm, nodded slightly, then opened the pavilion and led Han Xuan in.
Although there are no complicated decorations in the pavilion, the furnishings are quite elegant.Outside the carved windows on the second floor, there is a Hongqiao, which is built on a clear pool, dotted with duckweed on the pool, contrasting with the green pines, cypresses, and black mountain rocks.
"Ten days after the palace election, you stay here. The people in the palace will report back in the afternoon, so I'll go back to the study first."
Han Xuanwan sat alone and didn't look at Tian Que, he knew that Tian Que was also feeling bad.
Just as Tianque said, for this selection, all the aristocratic families have long been ready to move, and it is really not easy to do it right now.Not to mention all the palaces outside the palace, and the forbidden ones are also in full swing for this matter, and they dare not neglect.Even the two concubines, Jun and Concubine, also took this matter to heart.
Since the Emperor's beloved Concubine Yuan left, the Yangui Concubine Xi's family has monopolized her family, and her power has become stronger and stronger, which is incomparable.The Maoyuan Hall where he lives is even more painted with red curtains, resplendent in gold and jade, and outstanding.There is a green spring in the back of the hall, which flows into the clear pool.Because Concubine Yan loved peonies very much, she built a small pavilion on the pool, called Chenxiang Pavilion.
The body is full of jewels and emerald greens, and the king looks at it with a smile. At this time, the two are listening to the clear spring water on the pavilion, and their words are affectionate.
The emperor is the uncle of Tianque, the first son of Emperor Lin.He has a well-proportioned face and mediocre stature. Xu Shi is in his forties and has been on the throne for a long time. Although his complexion has not changed, his aura has become more and more gloomy, which cannot be taken lightly.Concubine Lian Yan has been fond of her for many years, and she is also trembling when accompanying her, not daring to be negligent.
At this time, the emperor was sitting in the pavilion, looking at Concubine Yanran on the sill, facing the water and shining flowers, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "I see that there is an extra ornament on your main hall. It seems to be carved entirely of jade, more than two feet in size. The craftsman took the shape according to the situation, it seems natural, but it is really exquisite, especially the jade color is green with white, smooth texture, it is really a rare thing."
"Your majesty has a high reputation for small things. It was sent from my mother's house a few days ago. It is a filial piety from a distant family. Your majesty knows that the younger brother of the concubine is a compatriot of the same mother, and he is the closest to the concubine. They were all given to my concubines." Concubine Yan Gui smiled, showing her national beauty.
If the appearance of Hanxuan is like autumn frost, and the air is more like orchids, then it is the state of Xiaojiabiyu after all.Under the strict make-up and beautiful attire, Concubine Yan Gui is so beautiful that she is stunning, and her red crown with clusters of pistils is more suitable for her elegance and graceful appearance.
"Now there is no owner in the middle palace, you are the head of the concubines, this thing suits your status." The emperor's eyes turned darkly, "In the future, the palace will choose the leader, so you can take the concubines with you."
"The concubine should do her best." Concubine Yan Gui smiled slightly, but her color changed.He clearly saw a few pieces of rags in the rushing stream with blood stains all over them, he was slightly startled, "Your Majesty, look at the water."
The emperor took a closer look and saw the streak of scarlet, and immediately got up: "Go, follow me to have a look!"
The bed of the stream is paved with pebbles and there is very little silt, so the gurgling stream is clearly visible.Everyone climbed up the steps, passing through flowers and trees, the higher they went up, they saw traces of blood.Although it's not scarlet, it's clearly visible.
Walking a few steps, I saw a young man in an ordinary palace attire, with his upper body straight and trousers rolled up, standing in the flowing water.There were tears in the young man's face, between his palms and arms, on both knees and knees, there was a mass of blood and flesh, and he was washing the wound on his body with stream water, and the bright red bloomed with the water.
"Who is here?" Concubine Yangui's personal maid Lu Yan volleyed in the air, the young man suddenly raised his head, seeing that it was the emperor and Concubine Yangui, he immediately went ashore in panic, and knelt down on the stone bricks.The young man had an injury on his knee, so he felt the pain for a while, but he didn't dare to move any more, he just endured it and wailed.
Seeing blood dripping all over the ground in front of him, the emperor couldn't bear it, and asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"
The young man was crying slightly, bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I accidentally broke a vase on my errand today, and the steward will punish me. I hope Your Majesty will make amends."
When the emperor heard the words, his words were filled with anger: "Even if you punish, don't hurt people so far!"
"Returning to Your Majesty, the steward was in a hurry, and pushed the servant into the broken porcelain, and beat him with the floating dust. The servant crawled and rolled among the debris, unable to dodge, and it ended like this." The young man seemed to realize that his words were not enough. Shen, Fang wanted to cover it up and said, "This minister deserves death. There is still an errand in the palace. I wanted to wash the blood stains and go back to the palace to be on duty. Now I am late. I am afraid that the superior will punish me. I will leave first."
After saying that, he crouched back a few steps, bloodstains were all over the stone slab.Xu was due to excessive blood loss, the young man's face was pale, he wanted to get up, struggled repeatedly, and finally fell to the ground.
Seeing the emperor's sad face, Concubine Yangui said tactfully: "No need to go, Luyan, please ask an imperial doctor to take this child for treatment, and then take some raw liver and red dates for him to take, so he doesn't need to be on duty today. You are lucky. If you hadn't met His Majesty and this palace, and you were investigated by others, you would lose your dignity in the palace, and I am afraid that you would not be tolerated. It is not easy for you to enter the palace to serve, and you have been hurt like this , you will stay in the Maoyuan Palace from now on, and be a small garrison official, so you can live in peace."
After saying that, Lu Yan's eyes moved, and someone from the harem came to help the young man.
The emperor's brows relaxed slightly, he ignored the young man, supported Concubine Yan, walked slowly, and said shallowly: "It's really hard to cover everything in the old palace, and the people at the bottom will be lawless. After ten days, the palace will be selected, let's be close." Born to choose."
Concubine Yangui only said "yes" nonchalantly, but she understood in her heart how turbulent it is for a newcomer to enter the palace.
And no matter how worried, the time for the palace selection is finally approaching.
For ten days, although Hanxuan and Tianque lived in the same mansion, they seldom saw each other.Tianque is often in the study, while Hanxuan lives in the Shixiang Pavilion. Every day, he looks at the mountains and lotuses.
It wasn't until the day of the palace selection that Tianque entered the Xiang Pavilion silently.Hanxuan is dressed in Tianshui pigmented clothes, and in front of the case window, he is painting a spring branch.The pavilion was dim, the black hair in the Hanxuan was loose, and the dim light came from the window, illuminating half of his face like jade.
"Hanxuan, the chariots and horses are ready." Tian Que did not dare to approach, but stood by the door and said softly.
Han Xuan only concentrated on writing, and only said after a long time: "Is everything in the palace ready?"
Seeing Hanxuan's calm state, Tianque also calmed down: "It's really hard to make big moves on the cusp of the storm, but if you use a little trick, success or failure depends on God."
"I understand." Han Xuan still did not stop writing, "Is everything ready?"
"As usual, I have prepared presents. To prevent vulgarity, you should wear the Orchid and Friends Bamboo, and on your head, this Crown of Flying Clouds Surprised by Phoenixes."
As Tianque said, he put something on the table aside, opened the silk, and saw a silver crown, which looked like a cloud, and there were two phoenix tails on it, which were graceful and elegant.
Han Xuan glanced at it briefly, and said lightly: "Such a big phoenix tail is not easy to think about."
"This thing is made by a skilled craftsman. The two phoenix tails are hollow and have a hole. You can hide things in it. If you have scruples, you can use this to defend yourself."
After hearing this, Han Xuan wanted to put down his pen, but added a few touches of red, then got up and walked to Tian Que, stroking the silver crown lightly, ignoring Tian Que.
Tian Que's breathing is just an inch away, and faintly hits Hanxuan's cheeks, and Hanxuan is still as quiet as a cold pool.
Suddenly, when Hanxuan was about to turn his head, Tianque hugged him tightly and held him tightly in his arms. For a while, Hanxuan was almost suffocated, and he felt that his chest was as hot as a mountain, as hot as a flame.
Hearing Tian Que cry: "Han Xuan, I'm sorry!"
Hanxuan was silent for a moment, finally broke free from Tianque's embrace, raised his head, and stood on tiptoe.With his own lips, he gently covered the tears on Tian Que's mouth.
Lingering is always a moment, both of them know that there is still a way to go.
Letting go of the sky, Hanxuan went into the screen, lightly brushed his blue hair, swept his eyebrows lightly, straightened his crown and tied his hair.After changing his clothes, Hanxuan walked out in lotus steps, only to see that plain suit, accompanied by drops of pearls and jade brilliance, showing his humble appearance.
Seeing this scene, Tian Que couldn't tell the difference between sadness and joy, but still said in the usual tone: "You are so beautiful."
And Hanxuan looked at Tianque's lonely face, and only smiled wryly, then went downstairs.When Tianque came, Hanxuan had already closed the door of the car and was still inside.Tian Que also smiled wryly, got on his horse neatly, and led the carriage to the mountain.
The sound of the car was rumbling, and the two followed the road they came from, and walked into the hustle and bustle from the silence again.
Maoyuan City is picturesque, and the Changmen tiles are about to flow.
After a long time in the mountains, the cool air gradually rises.In the twilight, through the palace lanterns, only the flying phoenixes and flying phoenixes, the jade pavilion flowing pills, are already in front of us.
After handing over the jade card, you have to change the sedan chair in the palace to enter.Therefore, in the dim light of the setting sun, I took one last look at him.
Tianque stood beside the horse, a few steps away from Hanxuan. In the twilight, it was hard to see his features clearly, only a little bit of dejection in that burly figure.
Hanxuan stood there for a long time, and Hanxuan in the brightly lit place only had brows and eyes.In front of him was a deep palace like the sea, Hanxuan stood quietly for a long time, he couldn't bear to look any further, he just helped the palace man into the sedan chair, and entered the palace gate silently.
There was a thought in my heart, if I lose the election today, when I go back home, Tianque will be happy or disappointed.In fact, Hanxuan understands that if there is only romance between lovers, it will not last long.Therefore, if things fail, in the eyes of Tian Que, he will be nothing more than an idiot and useless, so donating is like an autumn fan.
Before thinking too much, the sedan chair has arrived outside the gate of Qionghan.When you get off the sedan chair and look at it, you can only see a crowd of flowers, red willows and greens, Yingying and Yanyan, all waiting at the door, waiting for the emperor and the imperial concubine to arrive, and then they will enter the palace to help.
Because of the Tianque incident, Hanxuan couldn't hide the sadness on his face, so it's better to chat and play with others, just keep silent, watching the clouds like fire.
Hanxuan looked around the crowd by chance, and what he could see were mostly vulgar objects, but he saw only one person, although he was also chatting and laughing with others, but he was really charming.There is a jade crown on the head, which seems to be carved from the whole jade. The color of the jade is varied, interlaced with blue and white.
The man seemed to be aware of Han Xuan's gaze, and greeted him with a smile: "May I ask who is the beautiful woman?"
"I'm making fun of you, my humble Yichuanlei family." Han Xuan hadn't interacted with outsiders for a long time, and his etiquette was rusty for a while, and his words were timid.
"I belong to the Xi family." The man spoke modestly, and Jiao Hanxuan was a little surprised, because everyone around him had started whispering, many ways that Hanxuan's family background had declined, which was unheard of, but he was able to join this place.
Right at this moment, the emperor and concubine Yangui came in sedan chairs, and everyone stopped talking and laughing, and bowed to salute.The emperor wore a black dragon robe, which gave off his majesty. Concubine Yangui wore a red crown with clusters of pistils and a vermilion palace dress, which was also very dignified.
The two didn't say much, just glanced over the crowd, and then continued to move forward. Hanxuan and the others were guided by the palace staff, and walked into the inner room slowly with the two guards of honor.
The Dechi Hall was the place where the emperor lived and governed. Its regulations are not grand, and it is not as tall and wide as the Maoyuan Hall. However, if you look closely, you can see that the gold pagodas are bent and the painted buildings are flying, without losing the imperial style.
The emperor and the noble concubine got off the sedan chair, took their respective support, and went up the steps of the palace.Hanxuan was at the head of the team, three or four people in front of him were the two emperors and concubines.
When the emperor and concubine are already in the palace, several palace servants will follow them into the palace holding things for cleaning their hands.A palace man was carrying a pot of boiling water, he walked in panic, in a trance, he fell outside the palace door, and splashed the pot of boiling water on his body, the palace man bounced off the ground again, screaming and dodging backwards.
The people to be selected have not yet entered the palace, they were all at a loss for a moment, staring at the scene in a daze, the palace people were even more frightened, they did not dare to move at all.
Han Xuan was the closest to the palace man. Seeing this situation, he hesitated for a moment, but finally settled down, hurried forward, helped the man up, and said softly: "Are you all right? Where is the burn?"
How did the palace man see such a scene, he just knelt down in panic, repeatedly saying forgiveness and other words in his mouth.
Han Xuan took his hand and said softly: "Hands are red, soak them in cold water quickly, if they are red, swollen and stinging, apply the grass to the wound, it will heal faster."
The people in the palace didn't know who Hanxuan was, and it was before the royal driver, so they couldn't speak more, they just shrank on the edge of the steps, feeling at a loss for a while.Behind Hanxuan's ears, there was a whisper: "I am born in a small family with such virtues, and I have no status to spend too much time talking with a servant."
"Since you are injured, let's go back for treatment." To everyone's surprise, the emperor who had already entered the palace came out to make a rescue. Han Xuan looked back and saw the emperor standing in the palace, looking at each other with lowered eyes, and said to Han Xuan, "You have Kind of kind."
Hanxuan was still trembling, and he returned to the team silently, not yet calmed down, thinking to himself that this move was too abrupt, and in the eyes of outsiders, it must have been deliberately manipulated.
Fortunately, everyone didn't say much anymore, they just kept their duties and entered the palace.All the concubines have arrived, so they stand up and salute.Hanxuan and the others were led by the palace servants and took their seats.
Looking around the hall, there are hundreds of flowers blooming.But in Hanxuan's eyes, there is no difference between those spring girls.It's just that from the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of wonderful eyes, which made Han Xuan mess up.
I only saw the last seat, where there was a plain girl, she was probably of a low rank, she was only dressed in water-colored brocade, and her head was nothing more than an ordinary thing.However, the pair of Jianshui autumn pupils are like blue sea scales, containing smoke and dew, Han Xuan can't help sighing, it is so beautiful and breathtaking.
And that plain girl, unlike the rest of Fendai, is not full of spring breeze, she only has a cold body, and she sits at the last table.His eyes moved slightly, and he also looked at Han Xuan.Hanxuan suddenly blushed, lowered his head to dodge, and no longer looked at him.
After he was able to sit still, the emperor held up the lamp first, and raised his voice: "Just now, there was an urgent report from outside the pass. Wei Rang chased young heroes, and with invincible momentum, he defeated Juli's thieves, captured Liucheng, and praised our country. The world is celebrating." Teng, let the monarch and ministers celebrate together with the selection banquet today!"
"The ministers and concubines also wish your majesty the best of luck, and wish the country prosperity and people's prosperity forever." Concubine Yan Gui also toasted, smiling like a spring mountain.
Then everyone shouted "Long Live" in unison, then covered their faces and drank.
The emperor exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then wanted to open the palace selection.At this time, the ceremonial officer entered the palace, and after announcing all the distinguished families according to the roster, he went forward to offer gifts and answers for the emperor and concubine's reference.
The rest of the people are all wealthy families, and the things they worship are rich in gold, stones, pearls and jade, rare treasures, and extravagant.The more Hanxuan looked at it, the more he felt cold. He didn't know what Tianque had prepared, but it would make people laugh.
While meditating, Si Li had already said loudly: "Yichuan Lei, the grandson of Lei Yantai, the late emperor's judge."
Hanxuan went forward silently, and greeted him in the same manner: "Your Majesty Yichuan Lei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Concubine."
"It's a rare guest. When your grandfather was an official in the court, even the palace was still in the boudoir. For decades, the court has never seen anyone from Lei's family." Concubine Yan Gui laughed, and everyone made rustling sounds .
The emperor seemed to ignore everyone's teasing because of Hanxuan's concern about the people in the palace just now, and looked very gentle to Hanxuan: "What did you bring?"
"Your Majesty will know when you see it." Although Hanxuan looked calm and complacent, he was panicked in his heart, but he really didn't know if Tian Que would take the risk, and he would also get himself caught in the fire.
Open the lid of the box and see that it is a scroll, but the size is not like an ordinary painting.
Unfold the scroll slowly, only to realize that it is a scroll of peonies.The whole scroll is more than two feet long and three feet wide, all green peonies, fresh and bright, elegant and refined.This blue water color, with dozens of green pistils, is painted in various poses and with different expressions, showing coquettishness. It is not like ordinary purple and pink, but rather gaudy, which makes people feel happy.On the leftmost side of the scroll are inscribed two big characters "Qunyu", with Hanxuan's name on it.
He clearly recognized that it was Tianque's handwriting.With just one glance, there seems to be a rising tide in his eyes.
Seeing this, the emperor smiled slightly and said, "It's ingenious. Most of the peonies painted in the palace are red, crimson and purple, and they are too vulgar, unlike this blue peony, which is elegant and delicate, without being dusty."
Han Xuan responded with a smile, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." But behind him, there was already a heavy sweater.
The crowd looked resentful, and even Concubine Yan was slightly flustered: "This thing is unique, and my concubine also likes it, but there are others. Your Majesty will take a look and talk about it."
The emperor nodded, then suppressed his temper and continued with the palace selection.
After several people, none of them are mediocre.By the time Xishi stepped forward, everyone was already looking sideways.Concubine Yangui had her own preparations, and she only said humbly: "Although I am a member of the same clan as my concubine, how many floors are separated, and I seldom move around on weekdays. Because the younger brother of my concubine came to write a letter, this son has the ability He is extraordinary and cannot bear to be buried, otherwise the ministers and concubines should avoid suspicion and cannot sit in the palace."
After saying that, Concubine Yangui looked at the emperor timidly, the emperor just didn't comment, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Your crown is very bright in color."
The Xi family smiled, saluted briefly, and asked the palace servants to present the gift.When the box was opened, it was actually a pot of jade carvings, the fineness of the jade was exactly the same as the jade carvings in Maoyuan Hall, and the jade crown on Xi's head.It's just that this jade carving is smaller than the ones in the Maoyuan Hall.
Seeing this, Concubine Yan immediately turned pale.Turning to look at the emperor beside him, his brows were slightly clouded, and he tried to say: "Your Majesty..."
"The things that bribe you now are much better than those that are offered to me?"
Although the emperor spoke lightly, everyone was shocked, got up hastily, and knelt by the table.Concubine Yangui knew the reason, and she walked on thin ice: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty forgives the sin... The concubine dare not, I think it was a momentary omission in the house, and it was an unintentional mistake to get the two wrong."
"It's really unintentional. Today, Wei Rang is chasing light and great victories, but it reminds me of the disaster in Juli, and the war generals in the court. You took into account the dangers of the battlefield and asked for a nine-city admiral for your younger brother. Sure enough, his thoughts, It's all about other things." The emperor was furious, but he didn't show it in front of his foreign ministers.
Standing in the hall, Han Xuan thought to himself, when he was in the palace, he had heard that the emperor was irritable, but seeing him now, the rumors are true.
Concubine Yangui panicked when she heard the words, and said more respectfully: "Your Majesty, my younger brother did make some mistakes, but I hope your Majesty will learn from you for promoting the virtuous for the country."
"Over the years, although you have been arrogant occasionally, I have tolerated it. I don't want you to become more and more arrogant. You are already the head of the harem, and your brother is the admiral of Jiucheng. If the leader of the palace is also from your family, the future will be like Thieves, it is not easy for you to trap me to death?"
Unexpectedly, the emperor's words were like a knife, and Concubine Yangui was even more confused. She just beat her head on the ground and said earnestly: "The concubine has been wronged. Your Majesty thinks carefully. If the concubine really did it intentionally, there are other ways. You must not be so blatant. Someone harmed the concubine."
After saying that, Concubine Yan only stared at the red eyes, full of hostility, and looked around at everyone in the hall.Looking at Hanxuan, Concubine Yan immediately became furious, "Since you have become more and more disrespectful today, this Palace feels strange, and you have to tell the truth, did you arrange this matter to deceive His Majesty!"
Hanxuan didn't expect the rainstorm to come suddenly, so he just knelt down and said: "The imperial concubine is happy and angry, and the ministers are no more than ordinary people, how can they make trouble in the inner palace."
"Okay!" The emperor said decisively, blocking the conversation between the two, "You are a noble concubine, so loudly scolding and arbitrarily speaking, it is really disrespectful. Although this matter is unusual, but the Lei family is like this, I think it is You don't need to say anything, I have made up my mind, and I will choose the Yichuan Lei family as the new leader."
Han Xuan was startled, unexpectedly this matter went so smoothly, so he sighed at Si Chengping's plan.But before he let go of his heart, he became rebellious again.
"Think twice, Your Majesty, Mrs. Lei's family background is not high, and his family has been in decline for a long time. Just now in the palace, he behaved inappropriately, and his words and deeds were reckless. For the sake of long-term planning, it is really not suitable to be selected as the leader of the palace." Among the concubines, at the first table, A woman with phoenix eyes came aggressively.
"Concubine Xiu is contrary to my thoughts this time. It is because Lei's family is not from a famous family that it is more suitable to be the leader of the palace. The leadership of the palace has a lot of powers. If there is a prominent backer, the former court of the harem must be divided. Half of the country? Now that there is no one in the palace, the world is in chaos, and tragic and inhumane things happen from time to time. Lei's heart is benevolent, modest and easy-going, and treats the palace people kindly, unlike others, who eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse and don't know the suffering of the world."
Hearing the emperor's unkind words, everyone didn't dare to speak too much, even Concubine Xiu also silenced the flag and said: "The ministers and concubines are afraid."
After the emperor said that, he left the table angrily, and Concubine Yangui hurriedly followed, fearing that she was going to plead guilty.The rest also have their own concerns, and don't want to stay more, just like birds and beasts.
The palace people present sparsely congratulated Hanxuan, but Hanxuan was still in a dream, so he only made promises and perfunctory.He raised his eyes to look for the Xi clan who just ran for the election, but in the vast night, he had long since disappeared.
The morning is slightly dark, and Han Xuan overlooks the distance. Behind the magnificent city wall, there is a touch of mountain scenery, on which you can see pavilions, towers and pavilions, dotted with stars, hidden among the beautiful trees.
After several months here, Hanxuan gradually understands that when building a house or a mansion here, it is most expensive to be near the mountains, perhaps it means to be condescending.To the north of the capital is Yushan, where the Pearl Palace and the Yuge Xiantai are located.The palace of Hou Men, where the nobles live, is surrounded by the foot of the mountain.The rest of the flat land became the streets and alleys of the city, where the common people lived.
Hanxuan looked at it for a long time, his heart ached slightly, and he closed the carved window with a thud.Tian Que noticed the sound, and said lightly, "You're awake."
"I was startled last night, I didn't sleep soundly, I just slept for a while."
"You can go to the mansion from time to time, and then you can wash up and rest."
"Okay." Hanxuan didn't want to say much. He heard people's voices gradually rising. people.
After a long time, Tianque finally said: "Remember, after entering the gate of the capital, I am not the son of King Yuji, nor are you from the palace."
Hanxuan's heart seemed to be frozen: "You told me that I am the Lei family of Yichuan, and my great-grandfather was once a judge in the reign of Emperor Linhuang, but now there are few people in my family, and no one is an official in the court anymore."
"Xijian is already in the palace, and will help me when the time comes. The selection of the palace is just a formality. Si Chengping has made a plan early on. Whether it is in the palace or Xi's residence, once the arrangement is made, I have already sent someone to do it. There is no doubt that Paul will be elected."
"I am not from a well-known family, let alone look like a country, and my talents and learning are only mediocre. I am afraid that it will be difficult to change my destiny with manpower."
"My vision is definitely not wrong. You can also rest assured that there is a certain arrangement in the house."
Han Xuan didn't see Tian Que's face, only saw the back, but the depression on Tian Que's face was clear from his words.Han Xuan said nonuo: "I will try my best."
"The most important head crown in the palace, strive to be rare and ingenious, and have a nickname of Jiayu. I have already prepared it, and I will definitely not let you lose."
"Women are pleasing to themselves, no matter how gorgeous they are, no one will come to see them."
Xiaoguang Xiwei, accompanied by dust in the Tao, only taught Tianque's back to be slightly blurred.Hanxuan didn't say any more, listening to the rumble of cars, he walked towards the city.
After all, the capital is lively, the streets and alleys are full of people coming and going.And this small car, slowly crossing the street, will go to the old house at the foot of the mountain.The two of them were relatively silent all the way, they just let the car slowly walk from the noise into the cold silence.
"The house is a bit old and a bit remote. Fortunately, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is quite elegant. Nowadays, there are not many houses near the mountains in central Beijing. The one I liked, I had to go through many times before I was able to buy it. This place has been uninhabited for many years, and it is not very eye-catching. I have ordered people to hurry up and replace the plaque."
Tianque Fuhanxuan got off his horse.I saw that the entrance hall is deserted, not as clean and tidy as the side entrance, and the gate of the mansion is also more decayed, only the brand-new "Lei Mansion" plaque is very inconsistent at a glance.
The two walked in slowly, the courtyard was in a state of decay, the weeds seemed to have been pulled out hastily just a few days ago, and the rest was a little bit of mess.Going through the hall and courtyard, walking to the depths, you can gradually see a little bit of mountain scenery behind the house.
At the end of the East Road is Yuqiao Qingxi, a waterside pavilion.
"Lianxiang Pavilion." Hanxuan looked at the small octagonal building, only playing with taste, "The moon is covered by clouds, this name is very good, I will live here."
Tian Que remained calm, nodded slightly, then opened the pavilion and led Han Xuan in.
Although there are no complicated decorations in the pavilion, the furnishings are quite elegant.Outside the carved windows on the second floor, there is a Hongqiao, which is built on a clear pool, dotted with duckweed on the pool, contrasting with the green pines, cypresses, and black mountain rocks.
"Ten days after the palace election, you stay here. The people in the palace will report back in the afternoon, so I'll go back to the study first."
Han Xuanwan sat alone and didn't look at Tian Que, he knew that Tian Que was also feeling bad.
Just as Tianque said, for this selection, all the aristocratic families have long been ready to move, and it is really not easy to do it right now.Not to mention all the palaces outside the palace, and the forbidden ones are also in full swing for this matter, and they dare not neglect.Even the two concubines, Jun and Concubine, also took this matter to heart.
Since the Emperor's beloved Concubine Yuan left, the Yangui Concubine Xi's family has monopolized her family, and her power has become stronger and stronger, which is incomparable.The Maoyuan Hall where he lives is even more painted with red curtains, resplendent in gold and jade, and outstanding.There is a green spring in the back of the hall, which flows into the clear pool.Because Concubine Yan loved peonies very much, she built a small pavilion on the pool, called Chenxiang Pavilion.
The body is full of jewels and emerald greens, and the king looks at it with a smile. At this time, the two are listening to the clear spring water on the pavilion, and their words are affectionate.
The emperor is the uncle of Tianque, the first son of Emperor Lin.He has a well-proportioned face and mediocre stature. Xu Shi is in his forties and has been on the throne for a long time. Although his complexion has not changed, his aura has become more and more gloomy, which cannot be taken lightly.Concubine Lian Yan has been fond of her for many years, and she is also trembling when accompanying her, not daring to be negligent.
At this time, the emperor was sitting in the pavilion, looking at Concubine Yanran on the sill, facing the water and shining flowers, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "I see that there is an extra ornament on your main hall. It seems to be carved entirely of jade, more than two feet in size. The craftsman took the shape according to the situation, it seems natural, but it is really exquisite, especially the jade color is green with white, smooth texture, it is really a rare thing."
"Your majesty has a high reputation for small things. It was sent from my mother's house a few days ago. It is a filial piety from a distant family. Your majesty knows that the younger brother of the concubine is a compatriot of the same mother, and he is the closest to the concubine. They were all given to my concubines." Concubine Yan Gui smiled, showing her national beauty.
If the appearance of Hanxuan is like autumn frost, and the air is more like orchids, then it is the state of Xiaojiabiyu after all.Under the strict make-up and beautiful attire, Concubine Yan Gui is so beautiful that she is stunning, and her red crown with clusters of pistils is more suitable for her elegance and graceful appearance.
"Now there is no owner in the middle palace, you are the head of the concubines, this thing suits your status." The emperor's eyes turned darkly, "In the future, the palace will choose the leader, so you can take the concubines with you."
"The concubine should do her best." Concubine Yan Gui smiled slightly, but her color changed.He clearly saw a few pieces of rags in the rushing stream with blood stains all over them, he was slightly startled, "Your Majesty, look at the water."
The emperor took a closer look and saw the streak of scarlet, and immediately got up: "Go, follow me to have a look!"
The bed of the stream is paved with pebbles and there is very little silt, so the gurgling stream is clearly visible.Everyone climbed up the steps, passing through flowers and trees, the higher they went up, they saw traces of blood.Although it's not scarlet, it's clearly visible.
Walking a few steps, I saw a young man in an ordinary palace attire, with his upper body straight and trousers rolled up, standing in the flowing water.There were tears in the young man's face, between his palms and arms, on both knees and knees, there was a mass of blood and flesh, and he was washing the wound on his body with stream water, and the bright red bloomed with the water.
"Who is here?" Concubine Yangui's personal maid Lu Yan volleyed in the air, the young man suddenly raised his head, seeing that it was the emperor and Concubine Yangui, he immediately went ashore in panic, and knelt down on the stone bricks.The young man had an injury on his knee, so he felt the pain for a while, but he didn't dare to move any more, he just endured it and wailed.
Seeing blood dripping all over the ground in front of him, the emperor couldn't bear it, and asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"
The young man was crying slightly, bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I accidentally broke a vase on my errand today, and the steward will punish me. I hope Your Majesty will make amends."
When the emperor heard the words, his words were filled with anger: "Even if you punish, don't hurt people so far!"
"Returning to Your Majesty, the steward was in a hurry, and pushed the servant into the broken porcelain, and beat him with the floating dust. The servant crawled and rolled among the debris, unable to dodge, and it ended like this." The young man seemed to realize that his words were not enough. Shen, Fang wanted to cover it up and said, "This minister deserves death. There is still an errand in the palace. I wanted to wash the blood stains and go back to the palace to be on duty. Now I am late. I am afraid that the superior will punish me. I will leave first."
After saying that, he crouched back a few steps, bloodstains were all over the stone slab.Xu was due to excessive blood loss, the young man's face was pale, he wanted to get up, struggled repeatedly, and finally fell to the ground.
Seeing the emperor's sad face, Concubine Yangui said tactfully: "No need to go, Luyan, please ask an imperial doctor to take this child for treatment, and then take some raw liver and red dates for him to take, so he doesn't need to be on duty today. You are lucky. If you hadn't met His Majesty and this palace, and you were investigated by others, you would lose your dignity in the palace, and I am afraid that you would not be tolerated. It is not easy for you to enter the palace to serve, and you have been hurt like this , you will stay in the Maoyuan Palace from now on, and be a small garrison official, so you can live in peace."
After saying that, Lu Yan's eyes moved, and someone from the harem came to help the young man.
The emperor's brows relaxed slightly, he ignored the young man, supported Concubine Yan, walked slowly, and said shallowly: "It's really hard to cover everything in the old palace, and the people at the bottom will be lawless. After ten days, the palace will be selected, let's be close." Born to choose."
Concubine Yangui only said "yes" nonchalantly, but she understood in her heart how turbulent it is for a newcomer to enter the palace.
And no matter how worried, the time for the palace selection is finally approaching.
For ten days, although Hanxuan and Tianque lived in the same mansion, they seldom saw each other.Tianque is often in the study, while Hanxuan lives in the Shixiang Pavilion. Every day, he looks at the mountains and lotuses.
It wasn't until the day of the palace selection that Tianque entered the Xiang Pavilion silently.Hanxuan is dressed in Tianshui pigmented clothes, and in front of the case window, he is painting a spring branch.The pavilion was dim, the black hair in the Hanxuan was loose, and the dim light came from the window, illuminating half of his face like jade.
"Hanxuan, the chariots and horses are ready." Tian Que did not dare to approach, but stood by the door and said softly.
Han Xuan only concentrated on writing, and only said after a long time: "Is everything in the palace ready?"
Seeing Hanxuan's calm state, Tianque also calmed down: "It's really hard to make big moves on the cusp of the storm, but if you use a little trick, success or failure depends on God."
"I understand." Han Xuan still did not stop writing, "Is everything ready?"
"As usual, I have prepared presents. To prevent vulgarity, you should wear the Orchid and Friends Bamboo, and on your head, this Crown of Flying Clouds Surprised by Phoenixes."
As Tianque said, he put something on the table aside, opened the silk, and saw a silver crown, which looked like a cloud, and there were two phoenix tails on it, which were graceful and elegant.
Han Xuan glanced at it briefly, and said lightly: "Such a big phoenix tail is not easy to think about."
"This thing is made by a skilled craftsman. The two phoenix tails are hollow and have a hole. You can hide things in it. If you have scruples, you can use this to defend yourself."
After hearing this, Han Xuan wanted to put down his pen, but added a few touches of red, then got up and walked to Tian Que, stroking the silver crown lightly, ignoring Tian Que.
Tian Que's breathing is just an inch away, and faintly hits Hanxuan's cheeks, and Hanxuan is still as quiet as a cold pool.
Suddenly, when Hanxuan was about to turn his head, Tianque hugged him tightly and held him tightly in his arms. For a while, Hanxuan was almost suffocated, and he felt that his chest was as hot as a mountain, as hot as a flame.
Hearing Tian Que cry: "Han Xuan, I'm sorry!"
Hanxuan was silent for a moment, finally broke free from Tianque's embrace, raised his head, and stood on tiptoe.With his own lips, he gently covered the tears on Tian Que's mouth.
Lingering is always a moment, both of them know that there is still a way to go.
Letting go of the sky, Hanxuan went into the screen, lightly brushed his blue hair, swept his eyebrows lightly, straightened his crown and tied his hair.After changing his clothes, Hanxuan walked out in lotus steps, only to see that plain suit, accompanied by drops of pearls and jade brilliance, showing his humble appearance.
Seeing this scene, Tian Que couldn't tell the difference between sadness and joy, but still said in the usual tone: "You are so beautiful."
And Hanxuan looked at Tianque's lonely face, and only smiled wryly, then went downstairs.When Tianque came, Hanxuan had already closed the door of the car and was still inside.Tian Que also smiled wryly, got on his horse neatly, and led the carriage to the mountain.
The sound of the car was rumbling, and the two followed the road they came from, and walked into the hustle and bustle from the silence again.
Maoyuan City is picturesque, and the Changmen tiles are about to flow.
After a long time in the mountains, the cool air gradually rises.In the twilight, through the palace lanterns, only the flying phoenixes and flying phoenixes, the jade pavilion flowing pills, are already in front of us.
After handing over the jade card, you have to change the sedan chair in the palace to enter.Therefore, in the dim light of the setting sun, I took one last look at him.
Tianque stood beside the horse, a few steps away from Hanxuan. In the twilight, it was hard to see his features clearly, only a little bit of dejection in that burly figure.
Hanxuan stood there for a long time, and Hanxuan in the brightly lit place only had brows and eyes.In front of him was a deep palace like the sea, Hanxuan stood quietly for a long time, he couldn't bear to look any further, he just helped the palace man into the sedan chair, and entered the palace gate silently.
There was a thought in my heart, if I lose the election today, when I go back home, Tianque will be happy or disappointed.In fact, Hanxuan understands that if there is only romance between lovers, it will not last long.Therefore, if things fail, in the eyes of Tian Que, he will be nothing more than an idiot and useless, so donating is like an autumn fan.
Before thinking too much, the sedan chair has arrived outside the gate of Qionghan.When you get off the sedan chair and look at it, you can only see a crowd of flowers, red willows and greens, Yingying and Yanyan, all waiting at the door, waiting for the emperor and the imperial concubine to arrive, and then they will enter the palace to help.
Because of the Tianque incident, Hanxuan couldn't hide the sadness on his face, so it's better to chat and play with others, just keep silent, watching the clouds like fire.
Hanxuan looked around the crowd by chance, and what he could see were mostly vulgar objects, but he saw only one person, although he was also chatting and laughing with others, but he was really charming.There is a jade crown on the head, which seems to be carved from the whole jade. The color of the jade is varied, interlaced with blue and white.
The man seemed to be aware of Han Xuan's gaze, and greeted him with a smile: "May I ask who is the beautiful woman?"
"I'm making fun of you, my humble Yichuanlei family." Han Xuan hadn't interacted with outsiders for a long time, and his etiquette was rusty for a while, and his words were timid.
"I belong to the Xi family." The man spoke modestly, and Jiao Hanxuan was a little surprised, because everyone around him had started whispering, many ways that Hanxuan's family background had declined, which was unheard of, but he was able to join this place.
Right at this moment, the emperor and concubine Yangui came in sedan chairs, and everyone stopped talking and laughing, and bowed to salute.The emperor wore a black dragon robe, which gave off his majesty. Concubine Yangui wore a red crown with clusters of pistils and a vermilion palace dress, which was also very dignified.
The two didn't say much, just glanced over the crowd, and then continued to move forward. Hanxuan and the others were guided by the palace staff, and walked into the inner room slowly with the two guards of honor.
The Dechi Hall was the place where the emperor lived and governed. Its regulations are not grand, and it is not as tall and wide as the Maoyuan Hall. However, if you look closely, you can see that the gold pagodas are bent and the painted buildings are flying, without losing the imperial style.
The emperor and the noble concubine got off the sedan chair, took their respective support, and went up the steps of the palace.Hanxuan was at the head of the team, three or four people in front of him were the two emperors and concubines.
When the emperor and concubine are already in the palace, several palace servants will follow them into the palace holding things for cleaning their hands.A palace man was carrying a pot of boiling water, he walked in panic, in a trance, he fell outside the palace door, and splashed the pot of boiling water on his body, the palace man bounced off the ground again, screaming and dodging backwards.
The people to be selected have not yet entered the palace, they were all at a loss for a moment, staring at the scene in a daze, the palace people were even more frightened, they did not dare to move at all.
Han Xuan was the closest to the palace man. Seeing this situation, he hesitated for a moment, but finally settled down, hurried forward, helped the man up, and said softly: "Are you all right? Where is the burn?"
How did the palace man see such a scene, he just knelt down in panic, repeatedly saying forgiveness and other words in his mouth.
Han Xuan took his hand and said softly: "Hands are red, soak them in cold water quickly, if they are red, swollen and stinging, apply the grass to the wound, it will heal faster."
The people in the palace didn't know who Hanxuan was, and it was before the royal driver, so they couldn't speak more, they just shrank on the edge of the steps, feeling at a loss for a while.Behind Hanxuan's ears, there was a whisper: "I am born in a small family with such virtues, and I have no status to spend too much time talking with a servant."
"Since you are injured, let's go back for treatment." To everyone's surprise, the emperor who had already entered the palace came out to make a rescue. Han Xuan looked back and saw the emperor standing in the palace, looking at each other with lowered eyes, and said to Han Xuan, "You have Kind of kind."
Hanxuan was still trembling, and he returned to the team silently, not yet calmed down, thinking to himself that this move was too abrupt, and in the eyes of outsiders, it must have been deliberately manipulated.
Fortunately, everyone didn't say much anymore, they just kept their duties and entered the palace.All the concubines have arrived, so they stand up and salute.Hanxuan and the others were led by the palace servants and took their seats.
Looking around the hall, there are hundreds of flowers blooming.But in Hanxuan's eyes, there is no difference between those spring girls.It's just that from the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of wonderful eyes, which made Han Xuan mess up.
I only saw the last seat, where there was a plain girl, she was probably of a low rank, she was only dressed in water-colored brocade, and her head was nothing more than an ordinary thing.However, the pair of Jianshui autumn pupils are like blue sea scales, containing smoke and dew, Han Xuan can't help sighing, it is so beautiful and breathtaking.
And that plain girl, unlike the rest of Fendai, is not full of spring breeze, she only has a cold body, and she sits at the last table.His eyes moved slightly, and he also looked at Han Xuan.Hanxuan suddenly blushed, lowered his head to dodge, and no longer looked at him.
After he was able to sit still, the emperor held up the lamp first, and raised his voice: "Just now, there was an urgent report from outside the pass. Wei Rang chased young heroes, and with invincible momentum, he defeated Juli's thieves, captured Liucheng, and praised our country. The world is celebrating." Teng, let the monarch and ministers celebrate together with the selection banquet today!"
"The ministers and concubines also wish your majesty the best of luck, and wish the country prosperity and people's prosperity forever." Concubine Yan Gui also toasted, smiling like a spring mountain.
Then everyone shouted "Long Live" in unison, then covered their faces and drank.
The emperor exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then wanted to open the palace selection.At this time, the ceremonial officer entered the palace, and after announcing all the distinguished families according to the roster, he went forward to offer gifts and answers for the emperor and concubine's reference.
The rest of the people are all wealthy families, and the things they worship are rich in gold, stones, pearls and jade, rare treasures, and extravagant.The more Hanxuan looked at it, the more he felt cold. He didn't know what Tianque had prepared, but it would make people laugh.
While meditating, Si Li had already said loudly: "Yichuan Lei, the grandson of Lei Yantai, the late emperor's judge."
Hanxuan went forward silently, and greeted him in the same manner: "Your Majesty Yichuan Lei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Concubine."
"It's a rare guest. When your grandfather was an official in the court, even the palace was still in the boudoir. For decades, the court has never seen anyone from Lei's family." Concubine Yan Gui laughed, and everyone made rustling sounds .
The emperor seemed to ignore everyone's teasing because of Hanxuan's concern about the people in the palace just now, and looked very gentle to Hanxuan: "What did you bring?"
"Your Majesty will know when you see it." Although Hanxuan looked calm and complacent, he was panicked in his heart, but he really didn't know if Tian Que would take the risk, and he would also get himself caught in the fire.
Open the lid of the box and see that it is a scroll, but the size is not like an ordinary painting.
Unfold the scroll slowly, only to realize that it is a scroll of peonies.The whole scroll is more than two feet long and three feet wide, all green peonies, fresh and bright, elegant and refined.This blue water color, with dozens of green pistils, is painted in various poses and with different expressions, showing coquettishness. It is not like ordinary purple and pink, but rather gaudy, which makes people feel happy.On the leftmost side of the scroll are inscribed two big characters "Qunyu", with Hanxuan's name on it.
He clearly recognized that it was Tianque's handwriting.With just one glance, there seems to be a rising tide in his eyes.
Seeing this, the emperor smiled slightly and said, "It's ingenious. Most of the peonies painted in the palace are red, crimson and purple, and they are too vulgar, unlike this blue peony, which is elegant and delicate, without being dusty."
Han Xuan responded with a smile, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." But behind him, there was already a heavy sweater.
The crowd looked resentful, and even Concubine Yan was slightly flustered: "This thing is unique, and my concubine also likes it, but there are others. Your Majesty will take a look and talk about it."
The emperor nodded, then suppressed his temper and continued with the palace selection.
After several people, none of them are mediocre.By the time Xishi stepped forward, everyone was already looking sideways.Concubine Yangui had her own preparations, and she only said humbly: "Although I am a member of the same clan as my concubine, how many floors are separated, and I seldom move around on weekdays. Because the younger brother of my concubine came to write a letter, this son has the ability He is extraordinary and cannot bear to be buried, otherwise the ministers and concubines should avoid suspicion and cannot sit in the palace."
After saying that, Concubine Yangui looked at the emperor timidly, the emperor just didn't comment, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Your crown is very bright in color."
The Xi family smiled, saluted briefly, and asked the palace servants to present the gift.When the box was opened, it was actually a pot of jade carvings, the fineness of the jade was exactly the same as the jade carvings in Maoyuan Hall, and the jade crown on Xi's head.It's just that this jade carving is smaller than the ones in the Maoyuan Hall.
Seeing this, Concubine Yan immediately turned pale.Turning to look at the emperor beside him, his brows were slightly clouded, and he tried to say: "Your Majesty..."
"The things that bribe you now are much better than those that are offered to me?"
Although the emperor spoke lightly, everyone was shocked, got up hastily, and knelt by the table.Concubine Yangui knew the reason, and she walked on thin ice: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty forgives the sin... The concubine dare not, I think it was a momentary omission in the house, and it was an unintentional mistake to get the two wrong."
"It's really unintentional. Today, Wei Rang is chasing light and great victories, but it reminds me of the disaster in Juli, and the war generals in the court. You took into account the dangers of the battlefield and asked for a nine-city admiral for your younger brother. Sure enough, his thoughts, It's all about other things." The emperor was furious, but he didn't show it in front of his foreign ministers.
Standing in the hall, Han Xuan thought to himself, when he was in the palace, he had heard that the emperor was irritable, but seeing him now, the rumors are true.
Concubine Yangui panicked when she heard the words, and said more respectfully: "Your Majesty, my younger brother did make some mistakes, but I hope your Majesty will learn from you for promoting the virtuous for the country."
"Over the years, although you have been arrogant occasionally, I have tolerated it. I don't want you to become more and more arrogant. You are already the head of the harem, and your brother is the admiral of Jiucheng. If the leader of the palace is also from your family, the future will be like Thieves, it is not easy for you to trap me to death?"
Unexpectedly, the emperor's words were like a knife, and Concubine Yangui was even more confused. She just beat her head on the ground and said earnestly: "The concubine has been wronged. Your Majesty thinks carefully. If the concubine really did it intentionally, there are other ways. You must not be so blatant. Someone harmed the concubine."
After saying that, Concubine Yan only stared at the red eyes, full of hostility, and looked around at everyone in the hall.Looking at Hanxuan, Concubine Yan immediately became furious, "Since you have become more and more disrespectful today, this Palace feels strange, and you have to tell the truth, did you arrange this matter to deceive His Majesty!"
Hanxuan didn't expect the rainstorm to come suddenly, so he just knelt down and said: "The imperial concubine is happy and angry, and the ministers are no more than ordinary people, how can they make trouble in the inner palace."
"Okay!" The emperor said decisively, blocking the conversation between the two, "You are a noble concubine, so loudly scolding and arbitrarily speaking, it is really disrespectful. Although this matter is unusual, but the Lei family is like this, I think it is You don't need to say anything, I have made up my mind, and I will choose the Yichuan Lei family as the new leader."
Han Xuan was startled, unexpectedly this matter went so smoothly, so he sighed at Si Chengping's plan.But before he let go of his heart, he became rebellious again.
"Think twice, Your Majesty, Mrs. Lei's family background is not high, and his family has been in decline for a long time. Just now in the palace, he behaved inappropriately, and his words and deeds were reckless. For the sake of long-term planning, it is really not suitable to be selected as the leader of the palace." Among the concubines, at the first table, A woman with phoenix eyes came aggressively.
"Concubine Xiu is contrary to my thoughts this time. It is because Lei's family is not from a famous family that it is more suitable to be the leader of the palace. The leadership of the palace has a lot of powers. If there is a prominent backer, the former court of the harem must be divided. Half of the country? Now that there is no one in the palace, the world is in chaos, and tragic and inhumane things happen from time to time. Lei's heart is benevolent, modest and easy-going, and treats the palace people kindly, unlike others, who eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse and don't know the suffering of the world."
Hearing the emperor's unkind words, everyone didn't dare to speak too much, even Concubine Xiu also silenced the flag and said: "The ministers and concubines are afraid."
After the emperor said that, he left the table angrily, and Concubine Yangui hurriedly followed, fearing that she was going to plead guilty.The rest also have their own concerns, and don't want to stay more, just like birds and beasts.
The palace people present sparsely congratulated Hanxuan, but Hanxuan was still in a dream, so he only made promises and perfunctory.He raised his eyes to look for the Xi clan who just ran for the election, but in the vast night, he had long since disappeared.
