Chapter 552: "With the seal of the imperial concubine"
Chapter 552 "Writing a Concubine"
Xu Mingyi looked at him: "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember that you told me about Concubine Rong before?"
Rong noble concubine?
Xu Mingyi never thought for a while when he paid attention to matters related to Concubine Rong.
Seeing her thinking and looking puzzled, Wu Zhao coughed lightly: "Didn’t you say before that the little prince born to Concubine Rong was probably not the emperor’s own birth?"
"What did you find?" Xu Mingyi's eyes lit up.
Seeing the girl in front of him who couldn't wait to hear something'stimulating' news, Wu Chao silently breathed a sigh of relief-he was originally worried that she would think that he was thinking about these things in secret to be too gossip, now it seems that the real gossip The person is right in front of him.
After Xu Mingyi blurted out the question, he also felt that he seemed to be overzealous.
But who can resist this kind of gossip?
Especially related to the Dog Emperor——
"I did find some coincidences." Wu Chao said: "This little prince was born full-term. I have carefully confirmed to Xiaoqi what is full-term, so I infer from this that Concubine Rong should be in February last year. Some of them are pregnant."
Xu Mingyi nodded, Xiaoqi is really versatile enough.
"And on the seventh day of February last year, this royal concubine Rong accompanied the sage to go to Guangming Temple to pray for blessings. The companions included my aunt and the empress dowager."
Xu Mingyi's eyes moved: "In February last year...was it for rain?"
Wu Zhao nodded: "It was exactly that time."
She still remembers that from the end of the previous year to March the following year, Beijing experienced a severe drought.
Guangming Temple is a royal temple. In case of bad years, the emperor would personally pray for blessings. This blessing is not only a matter of putting on a stick of incense, but also doing Buddhist rituals in the temple, holding a clean fast, and offering offerings to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Seven days.
The Royal Concubine Rong also went, which means that in February last year, Concubine Rong stayed outside the palace for at least seven days...
And the royal temple, when the emperor prays for blessings, it is bound to be heavily guarded. During this period, it is impossible to let ordinary pilgrims into the house to disturb. If the royal concubine Rong was really pregnant at that time, those who had an affair with it would definitely be included in that blessing. middle!
But even so, the range is not small.
Aside from the monks, there are only the entourage, there are officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, Jishiwei, and other guards...
"But what suspicious person has been found? Or the general scope?" He acted very purposefully. If he was secretly investigating something, he would usually talk to her after he had already had the results or what kind of eyebrows he had. No, it is rarely mentioned actively.
Guo saw him nodded and said: "There is a person in the entourage who has some intersection with this Concubine Rong before entering the palace, and has not yet married a wife—"
"Who?"
"Yue Pei."
"Yue Pei...?" Xu Mingyi frowned. It seems that this name has been heard and seen somewhere...
"You mean—this time the Beijing-based Qiangong who went to Dongyuan with Zhou Shilang?!" She quickly reacted, and she mentioned in the letter tomorrow that this person once again treated her grandfather on the way back to Beijing. He killed him, and was ordered by his grandfather that night to be taken into custody.
Wu Chao nodded: "Private Concubine Rong didn't enter the palace, and she was a little entangled with this person secretly. Very few people know about this matter, and the emperor has never paid attention to it."
Xu Mingyi was a little surprised to hear that, according to this, or the two are still happy, because the concubine Rong entered the palace and was beaten by a mandarin duck?
However, Wu Chao’s words quickly told her to dispel this illusion: "But the more prudent, the dark is not a clean and self-conscious person. Although he is not married, there are several unclear maids in the family. Raised a woman redeemed from a prostitute—"
The boy mentioned this, with a hint of disgust in his plain tone.
As if to mention it, it feels dirty.
Xu Mingyi also frowned slightly.
In this way, the other party obviously has nothing to do with the word sympathy.
And so lustful, but never married...
If the other party really secretly communicated the song with Concubine Rong, it would be hard not to make people suspect that this celibacy is deliberately acting.
As for who to show it to-it is obviously the Royal Concubine Rong in the deep palace.
"The reason why Yue Pei was able to walk with Shi Lang Zhou this time was because he was indirectly recommended by Xia Tingzhen." Wu Chao said: "I was surprised before that Xia Tingzhen has no shortage of available people, so why is it so important? The opportunity for this is left to a Jingying Qiang who is not a good candidate in all aspects—"
I now vaguely feel that there is a reasonable explanation.
"You mean, Xia Tingzhen is very likely to know the relationship between this person and Concubine Rong?"
That’s why they will promote the other party, and in the future, they will use this handle to control this person and Concubine Rong, and even the next crown prince...
This is indeed like Xia Tingzhen’s style.
This person is scheming and calculating, and the current emperor is so unbearable and suspicious, how can he rest assured that he will rest on such an emperor?
The road behind this is quite long-term...
But if it is verified and known to Emperor Qingming, it will be more than just the back road--I am afraid that even the way to survive will be ruined.
"Everything is just speculation right now." Wu Chao said: "But after Yue Pei is taken back to the capital, there may be clues that will surface. Then I will make people keep an eye on this matter secretly."
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Grandfather will arrive in Beijing three days later, and Yue Pei’s situation will soon follow Concubine Rong’s ears.
Willing to take such a big risk, bet the lives of oneself and even the whole family, and those who have to entangle with each other secretly, they can't think about it and can't calmly watch the lover accident.
After talking about the matter, Wu Zhao took a sip of tea and asked casually: "By the way, why did my aunt send you a letter?"
The little **** that she mentioned just now was told by her aunt through a letter-such things, it is said that her aunt should send a letter to him.
Of course, he didn’t like that. He hoped that everyone around him would love and trust him more, but it didn’t matter if he really ignored him.
He just thinks that his aunt will not deliberately send a letter to Zhaozhao just because of this, will there be other important matters?
"The Queen Mother sent a post inviting me to come into the palace to speak tomorrow, and that letter came along with me."
"Aunt invited you into the palace?" Wu Zhaodang frowned, "I'm afraid that there is something strange in this. The palace is not better than other places, so obviously, I can't go."
Seeing the awe-inspiring look between his eyebrows, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but smile: "Of course I know that the Empress also called someone to remind me that it was the emperor's instruction. As a last resort, I also turned down by calling him sick. No matter what he thought. Well, who cares about him now."
Wu Chao's expression eased, and he nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Well, don't care about him."
With him and Zhen Guo Gong, even if the sky falls, she can support her.
What's more, Zhao Zhao himself is also a figure who can stand up to the sky——
"Although I refused, this move is attempted. The emperor will probably not stop here. You need to be cautious everywhere." Wu Chao said, "From today, I will let... Xiao Qi follow you."
Xiaoqi can’t do anything else, but she is agile and undeniable.
"It doesn't have to be, now Uncle Zhu is back, and there is no shortage of people around me." Xu Mingyi said: "Before my grandfather came back, I didn't plan to go out easily. I should be treated like I should be."
"Then I will let Xiao Qi guard secretly watch out near the Guogong Mansion."
Xu Mingyi didn't refuse any more. If she didn't even agree to this, he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so don't run to her house to guard him in the end.
Seeing her nodded, Wu Chao asked: "It's still early, can I go back after eating late?"
Xu Mingyi was feeling a little hungry, and was not polite to him: "It's okay."
Wu Chao let Xiaoqi in.
Tianmu who was sitting in Xu Mingyi's side chair raised his head and called out, his sitting position and eyes were very clever-don't forget to prepare it!
Looking at Big Bird, who was energetic at the mention of eating, Xu Mingyi scratched the top of Big Bird’s few hairs: "Can you still go home hungry?"
……
The next day, it is already noon.
Emperor Qingming in the Hall of Yangxin listened to the feedback from the palace, he couldn't help frowning, got up immediately, and drove away in Yukun Palace.
The queen was having lunch when the palace people sang "the emperor is here".
Only put down the bowl, took the wet veil from Gong E's hand, wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, and stood up to greet him: "I wonder if your majesty is here, the concubine is impolite."
"It's okay, I just passed by here, so I came in to see the queen." Emperor Qingming glanced at the hall seemingly inadvertently, and then asked casually, "Miss Xu's family has gone back?"
"Back to your majesty, the girl from the Xu family has not come here today." The queen explained: "It is said that she was caught with a cold, and it was quite severe. She still needs to be raised at home. The concubine thought about it, and waited a few days for someone to recover. It’s not too late to invite you to the palace again."
Why not late?
Emperor Qingming frowned almost imperceptibly, "Is it cold? This is a coincidence."
Queen nodded gently: "Yes."
It's a coincidence.
Unfortunately, could it be sent to the door to be calculated by you?
"I know about this." Emperor Qingming glanced at the dining table behind the queen, and said: "I have other things, so I won't disturb the queen's meal."
"Yes, my concubine sent you your majesty."
Emperor Qingming nodded slightly, and left here with the inner guard.
The queen chuckled in her heart.
The dog emperor is now playing more and more carelessly, obviously he is very frustrated.
"Your Majesty, the slave has just been inquiring about it... According to the little **** who went to Zhenguo Gong's Mansion with the maid who sent the post in Yukun Palace yesterday, the Xu family girl was indeed caught in the wind and the house was busy. I'm asking the doctor for a change."
Li Ji followed Long Yin's side, whispering.
Qingming Emperor sneered and said: "I'll be sick, right? I don't dislike it either."
Li Ji didn't know how to answer this, so he just smiled.
That is the number one beauty in Beijing, and your Majesty doesn’t dislike it...
Kairen little girl, maybe...
"Prepare for the decree." Emperor Qingming looked forward and whispered.
Zhen Guogong Mansion has long been unworthy of him to lift up like this——
But in this situation, Xu Qiwei must be stabilized first, and everything needs to be liquidated after getting the talisman...
A round of autumn sun gradually moved westward, and Bo Hui swayed between the sky and the earth, then floated away and melted into the night.
Before the stars, they seemed to be covered with a layer of light gray gauze, and even the moon was concealed from the brilliance, and it became a small ball, like a dusty bead hidden behind the cloud gauze.
Early the next morning, when Xu Mingyi was halfway through his arrows, raindrops fell.
As soon as the rain was splattered, it was endless, and it continued to fall for a whole day.
At night, Xu Mingyi leaned on the couch with his third eye, listening to the sound of the rain falling, thinking in his heart, the rain is so heavy, I wonder if it will delay my grandfather's journey, or the day to go home will be delayed again. Has it been a day or two?
But thinking that her grandfather will return to Beijing soon, she still slept very peacefully that night.
Get up the next day, see the sky outside the window, and feel better.
This good mood lasted until after the morning meal. A Li came back from the outside to spread the word: "Girl, there are many eunuchs in the house, and two adults in official robes. At this time, they are all waiting in the front hall. Please come over. Receiving the order!"
Declaration?
Xu Mingyi frowned, his intuition was not good.
If you want to urge her to enter the palace again, a verbal order is enough, why do you need to give an decree? And is accompanied by an official?
Xu Mingyi vaguely guessed a possibility, got up from the chair and said: "Let's go."
Ali hurriedly asked: “Accepting an order is a big deal. Does the girl want to change clothes?”
Xu Mingyi didn't stop under his feet, and sneered: "It's worth it too."
Ali opened her mouth—who is he?
Emperor?
But if the girl says she doesn’t deserve it, then there must be a reason for her unworthiness——Bah, Gouyunjun!
No matter how many, Ali cursed in her heart to correct her position as Xu's family.
When Xu Mingyi came to the front hall, Cui had already arrived first, saying that he was taking the order, and Cui had not followed the rules to order the woman's attire—the clothes and jewellery had to be tossed for two quarters of an hour from head to toe. Just toss about here, I'm afraid it's too late.
Seeing that his daughter came so soon, Cui couldn’t help but sigh that he was really wise.
And watching the girl in jade-blue uniform with a pair of white jade hairpins and a pair of white jade hairpins strode into the hall. Although she was dressed casually and rudely, she still couldn’t hide her beautiful appearance. Two courtesy ministries The mood of the officials can be described as very complicated.
"Miss Xu is here." Li Ji didn't care about the girl's clothes, with a smile on her face, and said: "Our family is here today by your majesty's order, and we are here to announce the good news to your house——"
Xu Mingyi sneered in his heart.
Annunciation?
Is it possible that the dog emperor is dead?
"Mrs. Shizi, Miss Xu, hurry up and take the order." Looking at the mother and daughter standing still, Li Ji reminded with a smile.
Cui clan then knelt down with Xu Mingyi.
Li Ji slowly unfolded the imperial decree in his arms.
"Feng Tian inherited the emperor, and the emperor said-the prince of the town of the pillar of my dynasty is brave and loyal, and today the Yu Li clan has made extraordinary achievements in the first battle. I heard that Xu Mingyi, the eldest granddaughter of his family, is gentle, careful, diligent and respectful. She was named a noble concubine, and she was given her name by her name, and she was granted residence in Linhua Palace. Enter on July 18th to perform the canonization ceremony, honor this!"
The **** sang loudly, and there was a moment of silence in the hall.
Cui's face has completely changed.
The emperor actually wanted her family Zhaozhao to enter the palace? !
What is the serious illness?
Her family Zhaozhao and Dingnan Wang Shisun are in good agreement, and they are a natural pair. What's the matter with this dead old man!
Thank you all for voting and rewarding, and leaving messages, good night, everyone!
