Concubine all over the world

Chapter 60
Shi Yirou blushed and said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty has never touched your daughter, how can you live up to it?"

"Ah——" Shi Hongchang was stunned, "What did you say it's been so long and you haven't touched it? You, why didn't you tell dad earlier?"

"How can I tell my daughter to talk about this kind of thing?" Shi Yirou's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head, embarrassed and sad.

Shi Hongchang sighed: "Why is this? Doesn't His Majesty love you very much? For you, he is willing to do anything, how could it be..."

Shi Yirou stared at Shi Hongchang resentfully: "It's all dad, you can't see the situation clearly, you always think that Li Xuqing is powerful, and the result? You messed up the good situation like this. If it weren't for you making such trouble, how could my daughter lose her innocence? How can His Majesty despise you?"

"He dislikes you?" Shi Hongchang's voice trembled, but there was a hint of enlightenment in his tone.

Shi Yirou told Shi Hongchang everything that Li Muhan told her that night.

Shi Hongchang smiled wryly: "It's all a trick of fate. At that time, I thought he was a barbarian. In this life, he will only be suppressed by the Holy Spirit, and he will always be in the top spot. If we get married, maybe even our Shi family will be wiped out. Who knows So many things happened later? Sigh, that's all, Rou'er, it's useless to talk, think about what to do in the future?"

"Does Daddy have a good idea?" Shi Yirou hurriedly asked.

"You, you are quite smart, why don't you think about it? Isn't it easy to find a chance to get your Majesty drunk? As long as there is such a thing, you will be able to overcome the psychological barrier." Shi Hongchang pointed Give gentle guidance, hate iron but not steel.

Shi Yirou's face looked as if it had been dyed with rouge, but the ignorance in his watery eyes faded away, and a hint of gloom flashed inadvertently.

When a person who has been humiliated to the extreme fights back, there is a sense of desperation like jumping over a wall.

"No matter how bad it is, you tell Dad, Dad will go outside to get you some medicine. What's the matter, you have to give yourself a chance to bridal with His Majesty, otherwise where will your prince come from in the future?" Shi Hongchang continued to come up with bad ideas.

"While he still has feelings for you, just fool him if you can. In the future, the draft will be real, and there will be more beauties. Maybe he won't be able to tie him down." Shi Hongchang stood up and came to the final conclusion, "In Harem, your task is to give birth to a prince quickly, everything else is in vain."

Seeing that Shi Hongchang was about to leave, Shi Yirou said hastily: "Why don't dad get some medicine for my daughter when he has the chance. I...don't use it if I can. If it doesn't work, use it. Be prepared."

"Well——" Shi Hongchang's round face has a double chin when he lowers his head, "This idea is correct. Be vigilant. Fortunately, His Majesty has not agreed to the draft. But the emperor's draft is justified, and Dad can't delay it for long. Hurry up yourself."

"Understood, Daddy." Shi Yirou agreed obediently, while sending Shi Hongchang out.

At that time, Huaman'er summoned Huaqiu into the palace, and brought his wife Shi Cuiya and son Huarong with him.Long time no see Shi Cuiya, I miss him very much.

They chatted in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

After Lianxin prepared tea, Hua Man'er ordered her to prepare dinner and did not let her stay here.She is still wary of Lianxin.

There are a bunch of maids waiting around, Shui Lian takes Hua Rong to play on the swing, and Mei Xian waits on the side to pour wine.These two have always admired Huamaner, but they are more reliable.

Hua Man'er told them about Han Feng.

Hua Qiu shook her head and said with a smile: "So that's the case, no wonder I haven't seen General Han recently. But something like this happened. I didn't expect that he has such a relationship with the empress. When you say that, I also have a little impression , ten years ago, that hunt, Weichen should have been there."

Hua Man'er said: "That's not the point. The point is that because of this incident, I felt Shi Yirou's horror. I even suspected that Qixia Mountain was raided a few months ago and [-] soldiers died. It's not a soft-talking secret."

"If it's her, I will cut her into pieces as a sacrifice to the undead." Hua Qiu thumped the table angrily and stood up abruptly.

The [-] soldiers and horses who died were all his life and death comrades-in-arms, and it was his deep pain.

Hua Man'er glanced at him, and ordered calmly: "Sit down for Bengong. You don't need to react so much. You just need to keep this matter in mind and investigate it secretly."

"Yes, empress." Hua Qiu accepted the order.

Shi Cuiya looked at Hua Man'er worriedly: "Hey, this concubine is such a bad person, she looks soft and weak, as if she would fall down when the wind blows. If she is so bad, I'm afraid she will embarrass the concubine in the future, right?"

Hua Man'er smiled: "Madam, what are you worried about? Soldiers come to block me, water comes to cover me, I am not afraid that she will make trouble for me."

"That's right, the empress is so smart, what are you afraid of?" Shi Cuiya said hastily.

Hua Man'er handed a piece of lotus moon cake to Shi Cuiya, Shi Cuiya quickly took it.

The next day, Hua Qiu privately found some officials from the old dynasty to make insinuations about Qi Xia's case.

His thought was that when Shi Hongchang obtained this information, he would definitely play it to the court, and all civil and military officials at that time must have heard it.Who knows that those officials are silent.

After Hua Man'er learned about it, she hurriedly dissuaded Hua Qiu from going along this road.Some of those officials were still loyal to Li Xuqing, while others were watching.After all, nowadays the imperial concubine is favored more than the empress, if she gives birth to a son early, she will definitely be the crown prince.There's no point in offending the Shi family's father and daughter just to overturn an old case.

Hua Man'er suggested that Hua Qiu go to Ge Xiong and Hua Bao to see who was there when they were talking about the deployment of Qixia Mountain.At that time, you can check one by one to see who is the most suspicious.Hua Qiu took the lead.

On this day, Hua Man'er was dancing sword in the imperial garden.

Suddenly I saw Shi Yirou bringing the court lady Mingyue out to admire the lotus.

Looking from a distance, I saw them sitting in the gazebo beside the lotus pond. Mingyue carried a bamboo basket, put it on the table at this time, and laid out the snacks one by one.Then put a tulle cloak on Shi Yirou, the breeze blew slowly, the tulle was light, and she was intoxicated.

Shi Yirou didn't know what he was thinking and was engrossed.

Hua Man'er rolled her eyes, thinking that she had nothing to do, she threw the sword to Shuilian, then walked across the covered bridge over the lotus pond to the gazebo where Shi Yirou was.

Standing behind Shi Yirou, she coughed lightly.Shi Yirou was startled suddenly, turned around quickly, saw that it was Hua Man'er, stood up quickly, and bowed her knees: "I have seen the empress!"

The court lady Mingyue beside her also hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the empress!"

Hua Man'er said indifferently: "Be flat."

"Thank you, empress!" Shi Yirou and Mingyue both replied, then straightened up and looked at Hua Man'er, not daring to sit down first.

Hua Man'er sat down gracefully, and Mingyue quickly poured tea for Hua Man'er.

Hua Man'er picked up the teacup and savored the fragrance carefully, and said softly: "It looks like a bird's tongue with pekoe exposed, emerald green, even and tender, and has a high aroma. The taste is mellow and refreshing, and the snowflakes are floating in the boiling spring porcelain. This is the first-class 'Jingting Green Snow' '. The concubine's taste is really high."

Shi Yirou smiled faintly: "The empress is born as a princess, she is indeed noble and well-informed, and she can see it from this look. In the eyes of the empress, such things may be trivial things, but in the eyes of Rou'er, they are worthless." It's unusual. Daddy sends off his concubine, who treats his concubine as a treasure, so I'm not willing to drink it easily."

"Really?" Hua Man'er's eyes suddenly darkened, and she sighed deeply, "Speaking of it, it's not a rare thing. Because there are a lot of Jingting green snow planted at the southern foot of Qixia Mountain. If the imperial concubine wants to drink, Bengong can take you to pick it, spring is coming, let's take a walk in the green along the way. What does the imperial concubine think?"

Shi Yirou's face changed slightly, and he shook his head slightly: "No, Empress Cheng loves you very much, but my concubine is weak and not suitable for climbing mountains. The little tea my father gave my concubine can drink until next year, so let's not drink it for now." went."

Hua Man'er looked at Shi Yiju meaningfully: "Aren't you going? Speaking of Qixia Mountain, this palace reminded me of another thing. I think back then, how tragic the thirty thousand undead died in Qixia Mountain. Looking at the next The month is the Ching Ming Festival. Why don't you go with the imperial concubine and pay homage to thirty thousand dead souls along the way."

Shi Yirou's face suddenly changed drastically, and the hand holding the tea lid trembled involuntarily, causing the tea lid to collide with the tea bowl.

Hua Man'er looked at Shi Yirou's expression, frowned, and became more certain in her heart that the inner ghost was Shi Yirou.

Mingyue was clever, and lightly pressed Shi Yirou's hand. At this moment, Shi Yirou suddenly recovered from his thoughts.

Just as she was about to explain something, she suddenly saw Li Muhan passing by in the distance. Seeing that they were both here, she brought Eunuch He over here.

Shi Yirou bit her lip, turned her heart away, suddenly panicked, and said loudly on purpose: "Please empress, please don't be aggressive because of Han Feng's matter, just treat it as the safe talisman I picked up, can't you? I made a mistake, isn't it okay?

Hua Man'er felt strange, wasn't he still talking about the Qixia Mountain sacrifice, why did such words suddenly come out?
Before he could react, Li Muhan rushed over angrily, lifted Hua Man'er's wrist, and grabbed Hua Man'er tightly.

Hua Man'er stared at Li Muhan inexplicably.

Li Muhan scolded angrily: "I have let Han Feng go, please respect yourself and don't pursue it anymore. This matter has nothing to do with Rou'er at all. You don't want to pick on her anymore."

Hua Man'er immediately retorted: "Which eye of yours saw me picking on her? You believe what she says, but you don't believe what I say. Do you believe me when I said I didn't ask her about Han Feng? Just now she It was intentional at all. Seeing you coming, I said I was picking on her. I didn't mention Han Feng in a word. If you don't believe me, ask Shui Lian."

Shui Lian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Madam, she really didn't mention General Han."

"Shut up, I don't need you to talk." Li Muhan pointed at Shui Lian angrily, and Shui Lian turned pale with fright.

However, she still defended Hua Man'er: "It's true, Your Majesty, slaves dare not lie."

Li Muhan raised his hand and slapped Shuilian so loudly that Shuilian almost fell to the ground.

Hua Man'er was furious, and scolded: "You fool! You swear at people indiscriminately, why? Why don't you check it out, what Shui Lian said is the truth! It's the truth! You fool, I don't want to see you again is you."

She stepped forward and pushed Li Muhan suddenly, as if she wanted to push him away out of sight.Li Muhan was standing in the gazebo near the lotus pond at that time, when Hua Man'er pushed him with all his strength, his tall body suddenly leaned back, fell out of the lotus pond, and fell into the lotus pond.

With a "plop", there was a big splash.The water splashed to a height of four meters, and splashed on Hua Man'er's astonished face.

"Your Majesty, Mu Han—" the little white rabbit beside him called out sadly, and then quickly climbed up the railing, "Mu Han, my concubine is here to save you—"

Without blinking her eyes, she jumped down with the plop.

"Help, help, my mother can't swim!" Mingyue began to shout loudly.

At this moment, her bravery made people stunned.How could she have such courage?
Hua Man'er looked intently at the lotus pond, only to see that the water had dispersed, and Li Muhan just emerged from the bottom of the water, then dived into the water to rescue Shi Yirou.

Huaman'er's thumping heart gradually settled down, but fortunately, Li Muhan could swim.

However, Shi Yirou grew up with Li Muhan and knew him very well, didn't he know that Li Muhan was very good-natured?If she knew that Li Mu Hanshui was very sexual, why would she jump off.

Thinking of this, Hua Man'er suddenly became clever.

She could not laugh or cry.

The "little white rabbit" she met might be more cunning than the "little fox" and more hateful than the "big bad wolf".

At this time, Eunuch He had already called a lot of guards.The guards arrived in a hurry, seeing that His Majesty was able to save himself, they felt relieved and were not in such a hurry, they helped to lift Shi Yirou up.

The water in the pool in early spring is indeed very cold.When Shi Yirou fell into the water, his lips turned purple from the cold, his small face was pale, and a few strands of black hair were wetly pressed against his cheeks, which really looked pitiful.

Li Muhan anxiously put her on the grass, pressed, blew, and slapped her back until Shi Yirou choked out several mouthfuls of water.

When Shi Yirou woke up, the first thing he did was to open his lips weakly and ask: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

That voice so soft as to drip water made Hua Man'er's heart melt when he heard it, not to mention the reckless love and gentle concern, which man with a heart of stone could accept it?
Hua Man'er understood Shi Yirou's charm from this moment.

A firm man like Li Muhan may need such a delicate woman.As long as you care about him, speak softly, be obedient, stand with him in everything, and think of being together, maybe he will feel that he is considerate and treats himself better.

However, even if he went against his nature and wronged himself for doing so, would Li Muhan treat him differently?His heart has been occupied by Shi Yirou.No matter how nice I am to him, I'm afraid I won't be able to move him.

When Hua Man'er was in a daze, suddenly a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, with murderous eyes as sharp as arrows.

It was only then that she realized that Shi Yirou had been sent back to Zixiao Palace by a group of court ladies and eunuchs to be raised. One could imagine where the group of imperial physicians would go now?
Li Muhan suddenly stretched out his hands to clamp her head, as if he wanted to crush her head to see what the brains inside were made of.

"You hard-hearted woman, how dare you push me? Moreover, when I jumped down, you didn't even yell, let alone jump down to save me! Hua Man'er, are you too sensible, or There is no heart, no lungs, no blood and no tears at all! Why can Rou'er do it without hesitation, but you can't?" Li Muhan's icy eyes are aggressive, and the knife in his eyes can kill people in minutes.

Hua Man'er also looked up at him coldly, with a trace of sarcasm in her peach blossom eyes: "Your Rou'er can do no hesitation because you also have no hesitation for her. You can destroy even a country for her, and you can do it for her." You can work hard, but what have you done for me? You only beat me, scold me, lock me, kick me, have you ever done anything for me? I have no heart, no lungs, no blood and no tears, but what about you ? Do you have love, righteousness, blood and tears? Li Muhan, when you ask others, think about how you treat others?"

As Hua Man'er was talking, tears filled her eyes involuntarily.She had never expressed her dissatisfaction and grievance in front of him, but at this time, she couldn't help but spit it out.

Li Muhan was silent for a while, not knowing if he was thinking about her words or if he was speechless.

Hua Man'er turned around and walked away coldly, Li Muhan stepped forward and grabbed her: "Hua Man'er, do you want to run away now? You just want to run away after you give me a lesson. You will never let me go Are you human? You want to bring up the old things from 800 years ago again? You like to turn over old accounts, don’t you? In the past, I was indeed sorry for you, but I have already apologized to you in front of civil and military officials. After the wedding At the time, I gave you enough face and let you sit on the throne of the queen. If there is no right and wrong in my heart, and there is no love, I can go my own way and let Shi Yirou be the queen. If you think so, say so, isn't it right? I'm not fair!"

Hua Man'er was disheartened, with a sneer on her lips, she didn't know what to say to him.

Love and righteousness, right and wrong, this is not the point.

Even the queen's throne is not the point.

The point is, he doesn't have her in his heart.

Even after the dispute reached this point, he still didn't say that he liked her.But, indeed, he said he didn't love her.

Hua Man'er coldly withdrew his tightly held arm, and said lightly: "You can think what you want. Yes, you are the most affectionate and righteous, can I be heartless? You go and change the wet clothes on your body, Otherwise, people will say that I have caused you to catch a cold again. Hurry up and take care of that noble concubine who loves you so desperately!"

"Go!" Hua Man'er said to Shui Lian, turned and left.

But after not taking many steps, Li Muhan quickly stepped up, put his arms around her small waist, and led her to a small path.

Turning around, he sternly said to Shui Lian: "Get out! Back off!"

Shui Lian had no choice but to stop.When Li Muhan and Hua Man'er had gone away and gradually disappeared, she followed quickly.

"Let go of me, what are you going crazy about? Let go, your body is wet, it's hard to stick to it, ah, Li Muhan—" Hua Man'er became angry, and forgot what kind of majesty she respected, what kind of minister she called herself Concubine, she bluntly yelled out her inner feelings.

Li Muhan ignored her struggle and her protest, simply carried her on his shoulders, and went straight to the Buddhist hall.

When she arrived at the Buddhist hall, she threw her down and ordered her to kneel in front of the desk.

"What is this for? Li Muhan." Hua Man'er's heart began to throb again, and the shadow of being chained to her feet occupied her heart in an instant.

"Hua Maner, this king will fine you to kneel and copy the "Heart Mantra of the Medicine Master Buddha" a hundred times. You will not be allowed to get up or eat until you have finished copying. You need to take care of your fiery temper. You must also copy the scriptures to calm your heart and think about how to be a virtuous and generous queen; think about how to learn to let go of the past; think about how to start a new life; think about , You and I are married, and we are already a formal couple, how should we get along? Huamaner, no matter how many grievances we have had in the past, from the moment you sit in the queen's position, you must learn to be a good queen!"

After Li Muhan put down some righteous words, he put down the pen and paper, and walked away with his head held high.

Hua Man'er smiled wryly.

Even she herself was convinced by Li Muhan's remarks.

However, how could Li Muhan know that if she had a choice, she would rather not have the throne of queen, what she wanted was Shi Yirou's position in his heart.

Will he give it or not?
Although what Li Muhan said was very reasonable, but what he said was all business.He didn't say a word about his feelings for her.

Well, people are so serious, so if you copy Buddhist scriptures, just copy Buddhist scriptures.Take the opportunity to calm down your restless mood.Hua Man'er started to despise herself, why should she fight for position emotionally?Shi Yirou knew Li Muhan 800 years ago and took his heart away.Why do I have to beg for this drudgery and torture myself?

Yes, copy the Buddhist scriptures and calm down.

Don't expect to win Li Muhan's heart any more, getting the queen's throne is already a kind of luck, isn't it?
Hua Man'er began to grind the ink, grinding quietly, finely, quietly, tears streaming down her face.

The rice paper was laid out on the table, not yet ink, but already wet with tears.

It's useless to blame myself for not being up to date, and to restrain myself intentionally.

Shui Lian came in quietly, knelt down in front of Hua Man'er, and pitifully took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Hua Man'er's tears.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The slaves heard what His Majesty said to you just now. Your Majesty won't allow you to eat, and the servants will secretly bring you food and drink in the middle of the night, and give you a warm robe to wear Well, it can be covered at night. Madam, don’t be sad, the slaves can still go to inform Xiaoyao Wang, let the little prince talk to His Majesty..."

"No! Don't go!" Hua Man'er held back her tears, and quickly grabbed Shui Lian's hand, "The little prince is still young, so don't get him involved, he doesn't understand the world of adults."

Shui Lian nodded: "Okay, but, ma'am, do you really want to finish copying these? If General Han is here, maybe I can intercede for you. Otherwise, I will go to General Ge and those people. Still very respectful.”

"No, Shui Lian, you don't have to do anything. It's better to be still than to move. This one hundred times, it will take up to four days, and you should be able to copy it all." Hua Man'er reckoned.

Shui Lian panicked: "Four days, that won't work, this servant hastened to prepare food for you."

That night, Shui Lian brought her food, drinks, warm robes, and knee protectors.

At this moment, Hua Man'er felt that she had a caring and loyal servant here.

I was very moved.

Who knew, when Shui Lian packed her basket and was about to go out, a figure flashed outside the door.Hua Man'er looked up, slightly surprised.
