Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 22 Returning to Fenggong Palace (2)
"Ling Ge?" Yun Qing blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at this handsome little eunuch, it was the first time she heard such a unique eunuch name, no wonder he was so handsome, it was a pity to be an eunuch.

"Yes, empress!" Ling Ge bowed his head respectfully, although he was young, his words and deeds were full of calmness, Yun Qing couldn't help but admire secretly.

The eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager's Palace is really extraordinary. Even though the eunuchs trained by him are young, they are capable of being independent.

This reminded her of the Eunuch Cheng of the Golden Phoenix Palace. Although he was quite old, he was not suitable to be in charge of any palace. He was far different from the eunuch in front of him.

"Hehe, the four of you came here at the Queen Mother's behest. Yun Qing is honored, please thank the Queen Mother and her old lady for Yun Qing. It's just that Yun Qing, a deposed queen, dare not move back to Jinfeng Palace, please Reply to the Empress Dowager, it is more appropriate for Yun Qing to stay in Cuiwei Palace as a guilty concubine." Yun Qing smiled lightly, looked at the eunuch in front of him, and spoke calmly and calmly.

What she said surprised Xiao Taohong, and Bi Tao never thought that the young lady would directly reject the queen mother's kindness.

"Miss!" She called out softly, seeing that the young lady's complexion did not change, she couldn't help secretly worrying, wondering what the young lady's plan was.

"The empress is the master of the servants and others from now on. Where the master is, the servants should follow. Since the empress does not want to move back to the Golden Phoenix Palace, the servants will stay with the empress in this Cuiwei Palace to serve. Chang Xi, you went to Xiangning Palace to report back to the Empress Dowager, and said that the four of us are willing to stay with your empress in Cuiwei Palace, please rest assured, the servants will take good care of your empress!"

Compared to Bitao's surprise, Ling Ge's face was calm, and he calmly asked the eunuch named Chang Xi to report to Xiangning Palace.

His attitude is correct, and his voice is not as high-pitched as the usual eunuchs, but a little softer.

Yun Qing raised her brows lightly, looked at Ling Ge silently and didn't say much.

After the sunset incident the day before yesterday, although she was still Yun Qing, she was no longer the Yun Qing who was bullied by others.

The emperor abolished himself indiscriminately, took advantage of his heart, got his wish, but in the end made people make things difficult for him.If it's just that, it's fine, at most she can bear it, anyway, the word 'tolerance' has been memorized by her heart since she was born.But she didn't expect that there were other people in the harem who looked down on her and made her want to spend the rest of her life in this cold palace without any contention.

For Fugui in Shanggong Bureau, she only thought that it was his greed that made him embarrass herself everywhere, but the moment he insisted on taking only Bitao away that day, she could no longer say that he was just bullying the good and fearing the evil.

If someone hadn't known that Bi Tao had been a sister to him since he was a child, and the two depended on each other for life, and their relationship had already surpassed the ordinary master-servant relationship, Fugui wouldn't just want to take Bi Tao away, making himself sad and self-blame and painful.

And Yun Qing didn't offend others in this palace, the only thing that can be explained is that someone deliberately wanted to hurt him.

This person, Yun Qing can believe, is by no means the cold and arrogant Emperor Xuanyuan Ze, let alone the Empress Dowager.Neither would Xuanyuan Yi who had been involved with him, otherwise he would not have designed to help him this time.

Therefore, the only thing left is the noble empress that Fugui kept mentioning that day - Concubine Hua.

I remember that before she got married, Yun Ya went to her West Courtyard and taunted herself under the guise of visiting, saying that she forcibly separated her sister He and the emperor, causing her sister He to cry and feel depressed every day.

Therefore, the person who can know his relationship with Bitao must be He Ruowan, the number one talented woman in Tianque who has a good friendship with Yunya.

Heh, it's true that women are jealous. It's respectable to defend love, but she, Concubine Hua, is jealous of the wrong person.

The moon is old and the red temple holds two shadows, and Yuqiao Fengyue is a bosom friend.Let his peaches and plums compete for appreciation, and don't worry about prosperity.

Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua, I didn't mean to, but why is Qing always making trouble?Although I don't fight, I can't ignore the people around me.From now on, if Yun Qing cannot be calm and calm, in the harem, I will fight for it!
"What? She really said that?" He Ruowan's slender eyebrows couldn't help but twitched deeply when she heard Qiuyue report the news to herself, her beautiful eyes stared straight at Qiuyue, as if she was thinking about her words credibility.

"Qiuyue's words are true. The maidservant has just inquired about the news from the Queen Mother's palace. It is estimated that after the emperor goes down, the queen mother will send someone to let the emperor order the woman to return to Jinfeng Palace." Qiuyue With her head lowered, under He Ruowan's scrutinizing gaze, she didn't panic and looked calm.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Concubine Hua's personal maid, Ning'er, was slightly flustered when she heard the words. Seeing He Ruowan thinking silently, she couldn't help being anxious, "Originally, the Empress should be canonized as queen these two days, but she didn't want to Suddenly this happened again, this..."

"This time it was the sick prince. If it wasn't for him, this concubine would not have made such a mistake." He Ruowan snorted heavily, and He Ruowan broke Ning'er's voice, her beautiful eyes flashed, and said: "However, this This time she was lucky enough to survive, but it also made this concubine figure out one thing. Hehe, it turns out that in the harem, accidents are always everywhere!"

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth raised evilly, and her stern voice shocked Qiuyue, and her palms subconsciously felt cold.

"Slave Ronglu pays respects to the emperor, good luck to the emperor! Long live, long live, long live!" Xuanyuan Ze, who had just left the court, was stopped by the chief executive Rong Lu on his way back to Longgan Palace.

I saw him kneeling down respectfully and flicking the whisk, the standard father-in-law's voice stimulated Xuanyuan Ze's heart very piercingly.

"Elder-in-law is getting old, in the future, you can just greet him according to the etiquette of the middle palace, and there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony." He waved his hand impatiently, the recent political turmoil and many things made Xuanyuanze feel a little irritable, "Let's talk, What's the matter?"

The day before yesterday, there was a change in the northwest border, and the residents around Fenglai Kingdom began to riot in small groups. However, Yuan Tiangang, the general of Zhenbei, had just returned to his hometown, but he suddenly contracted a serious illness and had not recovered for a long time. Repression is still on the sidelines.

In the early court, it was also learned that the plague was prevalent in the southeast. In such a vernal equinox, a large number of poultry and humans were infected with the disease.

Being so troubled by all kinds of things, even Wan'er didn't go there much in the past two days, and spent most of her time discussing countermeasures with several important officials in the imperial study.

"Back to the emperor, the empress dowager asked the emperor to order the empress Yunqing to be recalled and let the empress take charge of the harem." Rong Lu observed the words and expressions, and saw that the emperor was worried and seemed upset, so he lowered his voice vigilantly, so as not to make people feel so uncomfortable.

"The queen mother is in charge of such trivial matters, why bother me?" With a wave of his sleeves, Xuanyuan Ze turned and returned to the palace, ignoring Rong Lu trotting behind him.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said: After all, the Empress was abolished by the Emperor due to a misunderstanding. It is the Emperor's fault. The matter of taking the Empress back to the palace requires an order from the Emperor himself." Xiao ran couldn't keep up with Xuanyuan Ze's vigorous figure, he was panting for a while, and spoke cautiously.

"Oh? There's such a thing?" Chang Le stopped immediately after a pause. Poor Rong Lu almost ran into him accidentally.

Xuanyuan Ze suddenly turned around, glanced at Rong Lu, couldn't help snorting, and said to himself: "She really exceeded my expectations, is she demonstrating to me?"

"Your Majesty, look at this..." Rong Lu raised his head and glanced at the unfriendly emperor, he said a few words, but the embarrassment on his face was clearly revealed.

"Okay, you go back to the Queen Mother, I will definitely give her a satisfactory result." Xuanyuanze glanced at Ronglu, confessed with a sneer, flung his sleeves, and did not go back to Longgan Palace, and changed his way to Cuiwei away from the palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rong Lu knelt down to see him off from a distance, but he didn't dare to lack the proper etiquette. He didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead until the handsome figure of the emperor disappeared from his eyes.

Hey, finally completed the Queen Mother's mission!He has worked in the palace for half his life, and now the three highest-ranking masters in the palace don't want one to be more difficult to deal with.

The young emperor, who had always obeyed the Queen Mother's orders, was no longer the young boy who asked the Queen Mother and important ministers to make up his mind.

Even the queen, who seemed to be bullied by others, made the queen mother secretly happy with just one sentence today, making the emperor's expression unpredictable.

Alas, the mind slaves of the masters are always unable to guess clearly, but he knows that this harem will enter a new round of unrest...

"The emperor is here!" From a distance, Yun Qing heard Chang Le's loud voice, followed by the four eunuchs led by Ling Ge hurriedly adjusted their clothes and hats, and hurried out of the hall to greet them.

Xiaotaohong and Bitao quickly surrounded Yunqing, wanting to help her decorate, but Yunqing refused with a smile: "No need, any decoration I make in front of him will be colorless air, it doesn't look right, why waste it?" cosmetics."

With a sneer, she took Bi Tao and Xiao Taohong out of the palace together to welcome the noble man who came here for fear of provocation.

On the surface of the turquoise lake, a touch of bright yellow is extremely dazzling, the golden crown is dazzling, the black and green hair is flaring in the wind, and the purple gold thread embroidered on the black belt is also refracted by the sun, revealing a radiant glow.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a dazzling god, riding the wind and waves, above the blue waves.

All the guards and eunuchs standing quietly all around became statues in the wind, existing only to complement him.

"Slaves and maidservants see the emperor, long live the emperor!" The uniform greetings were deafening as the handsome man stepped onto the shore of the lake.

Yun Qing also slightly bent his knees, lowered his eyes, turned his face only to the ground, and bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Ze: "The sinful girl Yun Qing sees the emperor, may the emperor be blessed!"

Standing coldly in front of Yun Qing, Xuanyuan Ze ignored the people in the palace and only looked at her, his voice was indifferent with a hint of arrogance: "Forget it! I heard that the queen recovered, so I came here to see it. Sure enough, there was something in this voice Full of energy, I don't know if my body is in good shape?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. A sinful woman treats her body as a sinner, and she dare not face the saint, let alone pretend to be a queen. I don't know if the emperor's sage is coming, if I make a mistake in a hurry, I ask the emperor to forgive me." Yun Qing still lowered her head head, looking only at his feet.

Those were a pair of ordinary gray cloth shoes, without any color embellishment, not even comparable to the flowered cloth shoes of some maids in the palace.

Jun's eyes couldn't help sinking, he also noticed her shoes, he didn't expect her to come out to see him so plainly.

Scanning the other two palace maids again, they were also dressed in ordinary clothes like Yun Qing, without any frills.

"Didn't the queen pack two decent clothes when she moved in? Why are you dressed so shabby?" Jun brows slightly frowned, and he wondered if she came out to see him on purpose.If so, then she is really stubborn, no wonder she is always easy to get angry in front of her.

"Oh, the emperor asked Yun Qing if there are any decent clothes here?" Yun Qing smiled softly, her voice was sweet, but she still didn't raise her head, "Back to the emperor, although there are not very decent clothes, but the clothes that are slightly more colorful are still good. Yes. It's just that Yun Qing, as a deposed empress, naturally dare not wear red and green, for fear of offending the emperor's majesty. Moreover, Cuiwei Palace is sparsely populated, and Yun Qing doesn't need to dress up. There has been a saying since ancient times: women are the ones who please themselves. Yun Qing She was seeking peace with all her heart, and she was recovering from a serious illness, but she never thought about being for whom."

"You!" Xuanyuan Ze's suppressed anger finally erupted from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that his handsome face sank, his body was already like a shadow like lightning, he stretched out his hand and clasped Yun Qing's chin, and growled in a low voice: "I want you to raise your head!"

Damn it, it's just a one-sentence matter, but she can utter a lot of rebuttals; isn't she a woman with the slightest meekness that a woman should have?

"what!"

"Miss!"

Xiao Taohong and Bitao were already screaming in fright. Although Ling Ge and the others were shaken, none of them raised their heads. They still knelt respectfully on the ground and waited quietly for the emperor to speak.

But Chang Le lowered his eyes silently, as if he hadn't seen the scene in front of him.

"Yes! As long as the emperor orders, Yun Qing dare not disobey!" Looking calmly at Xuanyuan Ze's fire-breathing eyes, Yun Qing's voice was flat, her beautiful eyes were clear, and she was not frightened by his angry face at all.

This is not the first time she has seen such a domineering and rude him.Anyway, he was never a gentle and considerate man in front of him, and he didn't need to pretend to be the gentle and gentle woman behind him.

"Hmph, it's good to know! Go back to the palace and change your clothes, and move back to the Golden Phoenix Palace immediately!" Conscious that he was somewhat inexplicably angry at her, Xuanyuanze's heart moved and his hands loosened when those clear eyes looked at him. open.

Her eyes seemed to reveal a silent mockery, mocking her impulsiveness and irritability.

This kind of gaze is different from her previous cold and firm gaze, which made him only see his own embarrassment and anger in her eyes.

"Please tell the emperor clearly, what capacity should Yun Qing return to Jinfeng Palace this time?" A cold smile rose from the corner of his lips, Yun Qing did not return to the palace obediently after he let go.Instead, he looked straight at him, his voice was clear and sweet, but every word was thorny, so that Xuanyuanze felt that countless needles were piercing his body.

"Queen of Tianque Kingdom! How is it? Are you satisfied with this status as a queen?" Xuanyuan Ze clenched his fists depressedly, staring at Yun Qing with his handsome eyes, spouting anger.

He really regretted it, knowing that she was provoking him to personally come to fetch her back to the palace, but he still fell into her trick and followed her wishes.

It was contrary to his intention to come here, but somehow made him feel that he had to say that just now!
Damn it!He thought that he must have been stunned by her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's imperial decree, Yun Qing dare not disobey. As for dissatisfaction, Yun Qing just wants to say: The Emperor's satisfaction is Yun Qing's satisfaction. If the Emperor is not satisfied, then Yun Qing is also dissatisfied!" Yun Qing After finishing speaking, looking at the tall man whose eyes were narrowed dangerously by him again, he couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly.

Turning around and giving a little blessing, she no longer cared whether he would be blown out of her anger, and quickly turned back to the hall.

However, she smiled inadvertently, but it made the flames in Xuanyuanze's heart dissipate inexplicably.

Moreover, an indescribable inexplicable impulse actually made him blurt out: "Since that's the case, the empress will stop screaming in front of me, it makes me dizzy."

"Uh..." Yun Qing paused as he was about to enter the hall, and turned around in surprise, but saw Xuanyuan Ze's expression stunned as well, as if he had just realized what he said.

Xiumei raised her eyebrows inadvertently, Yun Qing thought, he must not have forgotten that he was not allowed to call himself a concubine, and now he is not allowed to call Yun Qing again, could it be that he wants to call himself a slave in front of him?

"I also ask the emperor to enlighten me, I... really don't know how to call myself in front of the emperor?" After thinking for a while, she couldn't think of anything more suitable, so she threw this difficult problem back to him.

Since he is the one who forbids himself to call this or that, then let him decide for himself. Anyway, she only has the right to choose, not the right to decide.

isn't it?Ah…

"Let's call it Yun! Alright, Xiao Lezi, stay here and arrange the palace affairs for the queen. I have something to do, so I will stay soon." With a flash of handsome eyes, Xuanyuan Ze regretted his unconscious impulse so much that his intestines turned green. .

He once forbade her to call herself a concubine, and now he forbids her to be called Yunqing, so he can't let her come and go in such an unseemly way as before!As for her single name "Qing", he would not let her call it that way anyway, if Wan'er knew that, she would definitely think that he had feelings for her, and she should be secretly sad.Well, it's still cloud!Only one surname, but also light and concise, that is the cloud!
"Cha!" Chang Le replied clearly, and hurriedly sent Sheng Jia away, but Yun Qing's heart froze, and all his thinking stopped suddenly with the word "cloud".

She stared blankly at the back of him leaving in a hurry, but her eyes pierced straight through him and saw an unknown place.

Cloud, cloud!He actually called himself Yun!

Is this a coincidence, how can the name that only the wind can call so lightly be called for him?

He has already broken his agreement with Feng, now he wants to break the rare longing he once had with Feng?
Feng, what should she do?
"Miss, hurry up and enter the palace." Bitao and Xiao Taohong got up quickly after Xuanyuanze left, but found that the lady was staring at the emperor's back in a daze.

Bi Tao glanced at it, and saw that the emperor's back was handsome and straight, and his clothes were fluttering. Looking from a distance, there was an air of elegance other than that of an emperor.

But, does this have something to do with the young lady's daze at the moment?How could the lady treat the emperor...

"West wind once laughed at his daughter softly, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years. Where is the hometown at sunset, and the misty river makes people sad. Feng, you once said, in this life, I am just your cloud, the only cloud... But, some things, maybe dark There is a destiny in the dark, and you and I cannot be tolerated..." With a soft sigh, Yun Qingyou looked away, and quietly put away the melancholy just now.

Turn around, take a deep breath...

Back in Jinfeng Palace, Yun Qing only smiled lightly to the shocked and flustered people in the palace, and ordered Xiao Taohong to be the aunt in charge of Jinfeng Palace from now on.

Bi Tao is still the queen's personal maid-in-waiting, her status is equal to that of Xiao Taohong, and other palace people are not allowed to contradict them rudely.

And she didn't retire any of the original eunuchs and palace servants, but promoted Ling Ge to be the father-in-law in charge of the palace, and he was in charge of all affairs in Jinfeng Palace, including food and clothing.

After arranging the specific affairs in the palace, Yunqing looked at Qiuyue with a smile, without any fluctuation in her voice: "Qiuyue, would you like to continue working in Jinfeng Palace?"

Qiuyue panicked, an emotion that she couldn't tell whether it was hatred or jealousy made her tightly hold the handkerchief in her sleeve, and she dared not look directly at Yun Qing's chilling cold gaze.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and there is a chill on her body that she can't resist. Although she has felt it faintly before, it has never been so obvious.

Even, she can cope with Concubine Hua freely, but now in front of her, she can't raise her eyes calmly.

"Qiuyue is at her mercy!" After a long silence, she had no way out.

Concubine Hua has already told herself to stay in Jinfeng Palace no matter what, as long as she can stay in Jinfeng Palace, Qiuyue can get her dream.

But if she is not good at things, then the only way she can go is to end in a miserable end just like the Fugui father-in-law of the Shang Palace Bureau.
