Chapter 131 132: Cold her face, warm the emperor's heart
Song Yunzhao looked at Princess Zhenbei and shook his head, "It's the county lord who can figure it out, otherwise it's useless for me to persuade you. The princess doesn't need to thank me for this matter. Based on the relationship between the county lord and me, I am willing to do it myself. I don't want the palace to accept my favor. This matter is my personal relationship with the county lord. The princess should not take it to heart."
Princess Zhenbei was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Song Jieyu to say that.
Song Yunzhao thought to herself that she hadn't gained a firm foothold in the palace, and if she had a relationship with Princess Zhenbei, it would not be a good thing for her.
I'm afraid Princess Zhenbei thinks the same way, so she can understand her attitude before.
Princess Zhenbei saw Song Jieyu's attitude, and she understood Song Jieyu's attitude. She immediately drank the wine in her glass and left with a smile.
Song Yunzhao didn't look at the back of Princess Zhenbei, but only wondered how Princess Zhenbei's temperament raised the two cannon fodder children in the book.
Thinking about it, it is not easy for this princess. She is middle-aged and still suffers from her own children. Fortunately, now that He Lanyun has lost her way, she should not make mistakes so easily.
As for He Lan's eldest son, she has nothing to do with it. Whether she can escape the fate of cannon fodder depends on how good sister He Lanyun is.
Even though Song Yunzhao was unhappy, he still had to pick up his wine glass and go to Sanfei's side for a walk.
Seeing her as usual, Concubine Shu snorted and said, "Song Jieyu still remembers me."
Song Yunzhao:…
This tone is like a boudoir's resentful woman. Thinking about it this way, my mind instantly sobered up, and the drunkenness disappeared.
"There are so many people who want to toast to the empress, the courtiers and concubines can't squeeze in, so I have to settle for the next best thing, and I can only come back after they leave."
Concubine Shu glared at Song Yunzhao.
Song Yunzhao raised his glass, "I wish you a beautiful new year and everything goes well."
Concubine Shu drank the wine in the glass unwillingly. She was beautiful and beautiful, but everything went well with Song Yunzhao around.
Concubine Shu didn't make things difficult for Song Yunzhao, Song Yunzhao went to Concubine Zhuang after toasting.
Concubine Zhuang's attitude towards her was even more gentle and friendly, she drank it all in one gulp, and didn't even say a bad word, much more open-minded than Concubine Shu.
Finally arrived at Concubine Wan's place, Concubine Wan's face was calm, and she said: "I'm too drunk, I drank a lot tonight, I appreciate Song Jieyu's kindness."
Song Yunzhao didn't force it, and left after saying a few auspicious words. Of course, she didn't drink the wine in the glass.
Concubine Wan doesn't give her face, so she still wants to pay her back.
She came back from Sanfei's side, and Han Jinyi and others also came to toast. Even though Song Yunzhao only dipped a little in each cup, he was a little dizzy after this round.
Xiangxue followed closely behind the master, Shi Zhu quietly brought a small cup of hangover tea, Song Yunzhao almost drank it down in one gulp, the taste is really amazing.
Just after drinking the sobering tea, Qin Xiyue came over, "I respect Song Jieyu for a cup, I hope everything goes well for Jieyu in the new year."
Song Yunzhao looked up at Qin Xiyue, with a smile on his face, seemingly very sincere, with a glint in his eyes that could not see the end.
The heroine is indeed the heroine. Even if the two of them are fighting to the death in private, she can still come to toast her with an upright face, otherwise she probably wouldn't go.
"Qin Wanyi has a heart, and I hope the new year is safe and happy." Song Yunzhao replied with a smile, and then raised his glass, "I drank too much today, I really can't stand it, I'll just take a sip, hope Wanyi can understand."
"Jieyu can do as she pleases." Qin Xiyue drank the wine in her glass, then turned and left.
Song Yunzhao supported Xiangxue's hand and sat down, her mind was buzzing, she pinched herself hard, she couldn't make a fool of herself in front of so many people.
The hall was noisy and bustling. Song Yunzhao saw the two famous left and right ministers. The left minister had a serious face, and the right minister was full of smiles. I met Mr. Han who was promoted to the censor of Zuodu, and Mr. Yang, Minister of Taipusi. This one is Song Jinxuan's father-in-law.
I also saw the trembling Qin Taifu. He was sitting in the banquet, and the emperor poured a glass of wine for him in front of him.
Qin Taifu was the first and only one who asked the emperor to toast.
This great honor made everyone look at Qin Xiyue differently. In comparison, Song Yunzhao was not as good. It doesn't matter if the emperor favors her, her family background is not as good as Qin Wanyi's.
Besides, Qin Wanyi has also been promoted after entering the palace. In the long run, it may not be the winner.
Song Yunzhao looked at Qin Xiyue chatting and laughing happily with the wives, and she had already lost the calm and self-sufficient look in the book. Perhaps her enemy was too tyrannical, so she had to lower her stance now to pave the way for her future.
Song Yunzhao looked at the people in the hall, all of them had big smiles on their faces, but they didn't know what they were thinking.
The dinner didn't end until the second quarter of Xu time. The emperor was surrounded by courtiers and went to Taiji Palace. The three concubines in Qinghua Palace left first, followed by Song Yunzhao and Han Jinyi, and the wives left the palace one after another under the guidance of the palace staff.
Yun Zhao looked at the sky so late, and was afraid of any accidents, he specially asked Anshun to personally send the eldest lady out of the palace. As for her father going to the Taiji Palace, it was beyond her reach.
A small group of four people walked in the night. When they came out of the palace, it was chilly. The warm sedan chair was already waiting outside. Song Yunzhao’s Wangyou Palace was the closest to Tsinghua Palace.
Xiangxue and Shi Zhu followed closely on both sides, and Nanny Yu went back to prepare first.
"Song Jieyu, please stay."
Song Yunzhao didn't take a few steps, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, she turned her head slowly, and saw someone walking towards her with a palace lantern in the distance.
It wasn't until she got closer that she realized it was Qin Xiyue.
No wonder the voice felt familiar. With the covering of the cloak, even the sound was somewhat distorted, so I couldn't hear it for a while.
Song Yunzhao was really impatient to talk to Qin Xiyue, but he really wanted to know what the heroine wanted her for, so he waited for her to come to him.
"What's the matter with Qin Wanyi?" Song Yunzhao looked at the other party who didn't have a smile on his face, and laughed all night, his face couldn't stop.
Qin Xiyue didn't care about Song Yunzhao's indifference, and said softly, "Can I have a few words with Jieyu in private?"
Song Yunzhao said: "There are no outsiders here, Qin Wanyi just speaks out."
Xiangxue and Shizhu are both her people, and they have been together for so long, and they know that they are loyal to her, and it will take a huge price to bribe them.
Qin Xiyue heard Yun Zhao say this, she was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I'm looking for Jieyu tonight to shake hands with you and make peace."
Song Yunzhao was so startled that his drunkenness disappeared, so he shook hands and made peace?
"Qin Wanyi really likes to joke. I don't have any deep hatred between you and me (it's strange), so how can we talk about it." Song Yunzhao's mind was spinning fast, and he didn't know what Qin Xiyue wanted to do again.
"I heard about Chen Chongyi."
Song Yunzhao looked at her calmly, "So it's because of this, Qin Wanyi wants to blame me for being nosy?"
"Of course not." Qin Xiyue shook her head, "I just didn't expect that there would be rumors in the harem that I ordered the Imperial Hospital not to treat Chen Chongyi. Speaking of which, I am really wronged. I am just a Wanyi, how can I have such a great ability."
Song Yunzhao had some doubts on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that Qin Xiyue would tell her something when he was celebrating the New Year?
If it was really about Chen Chongyi, why didn't he say it years ago, and had to wait until today?
Looking at Song Yunzhao's silence, Qin Xiyue sighed quietly, "I think Jieyu should know that the Empress Dowager is about to return to the palace after the year. You and I are both new concubines entering the palace. We will have to face the Empress Dowager at that time. Instead of being divided, why don't you and I join hands?"
The ultimate goal is actually because of the Queen Mother?
Song Yunzhao thinks it may not be the truth, the heroine in the book is not a person who easily cooperates with others, and now she suddenly wants to join forces with herself?
The tragedy of Lu Zhixue being stepped on by her and almost unable to turn over is still vivid in my memory. She agreed to her because she was out of her mind.
"Qin Wanyi really knows how to tell jokes. When the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, you and I will serve you respectfully. I've always been a quiet person. I'm afraid I won't be able to join forces with Qin Wanyi." Song Yunzhao directly refused.
Since she and the heroine are destined not to be friends, and there is that weird law of a heroine supporting a woman, it is better for her to stay away from the heroine.
Qin Wanyi sighed with some disappointment, "I came here with sincerity, since Song Jieyu is not interested, that's all."
Song Yunzhao:…
She is not sincere in persuading people, she gave up as soon as she refused, which shows that her sense of danger is true, the heroine must have another purpose in looking for her, maybe she is testing her with the matter of the Queen Mother and Chen Chongyi.
Song Yunzhao was too lazy to deal with her, "Qin Wanyi walk slowly, it's really cold on New Year's Eve, I'll take a step first."
Qin Xiyue looked at Song Yunzhao's back, smiled for a long time, then turned around and got on the warm sedan chair to leave.
Going back to Wangyou Palace, Song Yunzhao took off his outfit, untied his bun, his scalp loosened instantly, and he felt relaxed.
"Master, go take a bath first, the hot water is ready."
Song Yunzhao got up and walked to the clean room, taking a hot bath is really the most pleasant thing.
There was a layer of petals floating in the bathtub, and the smell of flowers was fragrant when entering. Song Yunzhao took off his clothes and sat in. Xiangxue squeezed her shoulders to relax her muscles and bones, and Shizhu scrubbed her. It was so comfortable that she closed her eyes and wanted to sleep until dawn.
The palace banquet tonight is the first large-scale palace banquet since she entered the palace. It is really tiring. This kind of tiring is because you have to compare the family background, the relationship between the enemy and the friend, and the family relationship with each person you meet, and make sure that every sentence you say is appropriate.
My mind is turning to smoke, and my heart is so tired.
In the middle of washing, he suddenly heard voices from outside. Song Yunzhao opened his eyes, and was about to ask a question, when Feng Yi pushed open the door of the clean room and walked in.
Song Yunzhao:…
Xiangxue and Shi Zhu were also taken aback, before they could react, the emperor waved his hands at them, and they had no choice but to bend down and retreat.
Song Yunzhao was so drowsy, he lay on the edge of the bathtub and looked at Feng Yi, "Why is the emperor here now?"
This speed is a bit fast, he thought that the emperor might have just slept in the Taiji Palace, what a toss of people in such a cold day.
Feng Yi took a step forward, the petals on the water swayed slightly, blocking the underwater scenery, he loosened his coat casually, looked at Song Yunzhao and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to watch the year with me?"
Song Yunzhao was taken aback for a moment, he was so tired all night, he forgot about this.
But it wasn't her fault that she forgot, and she said quickly, "I haven't forgotten. I didn't think that the emperor had a hard night. I thought you would stay in Taiji Palace."
As soon as the voice fell, the emperor stepped into the bathtub, and the water in the bucket instantly overflowed and fell to the ground.
Song Yunzhao:…
She has to work overtime at night, she has no human rights as an overtime dog.
Song Yunzhao, who was forced to work overtime, took a mandarin duck bath with the emperor, and it was past Haishi when he returned to the dormitory. Song Yunzhao was wrapped in a brocade quilt and hid in the tent, feeling ashamed to see others. Even though Xiangxue and the others went in with their heads down to clean up, she still felt a little embarrassed.
Song Yunzhao thought that it would be fine if Tang Minghuang built Huaqing Pool for me, who wouldn't want to enjoy this kind of thing.
She is willing, the emperor is willing, but I am afraid that the money bag of the household department is not willing.
Whatever you think about, let’s go to sleep, there is everything in the dream.
Before the time passed, Song Yunzhao cheered up and leaned on Feng Yi's body, repeating what Qin Xiyue had said to her as if telling a joke.
She can't figure out Qin Xiyue's intentions now, but put the level of defense first, at least put the matter in front of the emperor. If something really happens in the future, she will let the emperor vent her anger, and then she will have a way out.
"Your Majesty, I really don't understand what Qin Wanyi is thinking. As far as our relationship is concerned, she is still willing to join hands with me. Isn't this a mouse acting as a guide for a cat?"
Feng Yi listened to Yun Zhao's words and looked at her sideways, "What do you mean a mouse is a cat's guide?"
"Deliver the food yourself."
Delivery food?
Feng Yi was amused, the words were very interesting, after careful consideration, it seemed that they really meant that, he didn't know what was going on in his head, and he just opened his mouth to say weird words.
"You directly refused?"
Song Yunzhao nodded, and grabbed the hand that the emperor put on her waist just around the corner. This person is a perpetual motion machine, isn't he tired?
She was exhausted.
Feng Yi smiled when Yun Zhao grabbed her hand, and took her hand in the palm of his hand. He tried so hard, but Yun Zhao's stomach still didn't move. It seems that his relationship with children is indeed thinner.
For the Chinese New Year senior, his thought disappeared in a flash, and he didn't tell Yun Zhao, lest she worry about gains and losses.
"Qin Taifu is not in good health recently, probably Qin Wanyi has other ideas."
Hearing Feng Yi's words, Song Yunzhao curled his lips inwardly. The chaff and flesh lived better than King Kong. The more people who take medicine all the year round, the longer they live. On the contrary, those who seem to be strong usually find it difficult to stand up once they fall.
"Then it's a bit funny for her to ask me to join forces. I've been trying to **** you from me and join forces with me. What do you think, am I an idiot?"
Feng Yi couldn't hold back his laughter, and fell on the couch with Yun Zhao in his arms, "Why are you talking so much?"
"I told you, but I didn't tell anyone else. I'm not stupid, don't worry." Song Yunzhao was very careful, making the emperor think that he had a lot of little secrets with him, and he would invisibly draw the distance between them.
You said that to be a favorite concubine, you have to follow the template. Can the emperor not fall out of favor when he gets tired of it?
In future generations, husbands and wives have to manage well to resist the temptation of the outside world, not to mention the legalization of concubines, especially those whose number of emperor's concubines has skyrocketed.
Song Yunzhao has his own ideas, being the emperor's favorite concubine is different from being the emperor's woman.
Feng Yi leaned on the pillow, half hugged Yun Zhao on his chest, pinched her fingertips and said slowly: "Your father has made great contributions to disaster relief, and the news that the common people want to set up a monument of merit has spread. Perhaps Qin Taifu has his own ideas, and Qin Wanyi should have got Qin Taifu's instruction."
Song Yunzhao immediately put on an angry look, "Sure enough, it's a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful, so I said why did you join forces with me all of a sudden." After speaking, he changed his voice, "Your Majesty, if you say this, can all the concubines who donate silver in the palace this time be engraved on the stele?"
"The monument of merit and virtue is so big. Not only people in the palace, but also many officials and merchants outside donate money and food. It is recorded according to the amount."
Song Yunzhao looked sideways at the emperor, "If that's the case, I'm afraid there won't be many places in the palace."
No wonder the emperor only named a few of them last time, it turned out that it was premeditated.
"That's natural." Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao's wide-eyed eyes, and thought it was very funny, "When I asked the concubine to donate the money, I'm afraid it didn't go well?"
Song Yunzhao nodded, "This is something that can't be helped, not everyone is very loose."
It is true that concubines have a monthly salary, but the expenses are also high. It seems that she is subsidized by the emperor from time to time, and there is also the extra income from the script. When she first entered the palace, her father gave her a lot, and with the money from Xie Linlang, she lived comfortably in the palace.
For others, unless they are subsidized by the family, their lives are really tight.
Under such circumstances, if you have to donate money, to be honest, those who are not rich really have no money, and those who are rich who don't deal with her and Concubine Shu will probably just be mean.
For example, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan.
Because Concubine Shu took the lead at the time, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan would put gold on Concubine Shu's face, so they didn't pay much money.
When they know that they can go to the monument of merit and virtue, they will probably feel ashamed of regret.
Speaking of which, Concubine Shu followed her again this time. Although the relationship between the two of them is not very good, it is a strange thing that their luck blossoms when they cooperate.
Is this the effect of cannon fodder?
Thinking of this, she was happy again, rolling around in the emperor's arms, and was held down by the emperor.
Song Yunzhao:…
Instantly became honest and didn't want to work overtime.
Looking at her cowardly look, Feng Yi smiled angrily and said, "You don't want to come forward about this matter, I will let Concubine Shu come forward."
Um?
Song Yunzhao was really surprised. Could it be that her garbage sweeper is not up to standard?
The emperor wants to change someone?
Perhaps Song Yunzhao's puzzled eyes were too obvious, Feng Yi said: "Since Taifu Qin knows about this, I'm afraid he will do something. If you come forward to do this, your father will probably be very embarrassed outside the palace."
Song Yunzhao understood that her father couldn't handle Qin Taifu.
"Besides, Concubine Shu was the one who took charge of this matter back then, and it would be better if she took the lead. However, it is inevitable that she will be given more credit for this matter."
Thinking of this, Feng Yi is also a little unhappy. It was clearly Yun Zhao's method, it was her scheme, but now the biggest credit has to be given away.
In the final analysis, he is not strong enough now, and he cannot completely protect her.
In the end, I still have to wrong her.
Song Yunzhao turned his eyes to look at the emperor, his mood was extremely complicated, the emperor would actually think about her?
Is this the way a garbage disposal should be treated?
Shouldn't it?
Why did the emperor suddenly treat her so well?
Could it be that he did something guilty, such as the emperor wanting to settle down with other concubines?
Thinking about it this way, Song Yunzhao was not calm anymore.
This is not okay.
Although he didn't want to work overtime anymore, for the sake of his own future happiness, Song Yunzhao took the initiative to throw the emperor.
Feng Yi:?
Such a little thing moved her so much?
Just now I looked like I was tired and didn’t want to move, now I have strength?
Song Yunzhao thought very well, and drained the emperor's physical strength, so that he had no time to patronize others. As a result, he was a war scum, and fell asleep because he couldn't hold on to the vigil this night.
Feng Yi hugged her and lay side by side, and fell into a light sleep for a while near dawn. Not long after, he heard Meng Jiuchang's cry.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor had to get up, and the emperor needed to eat vegetarian dumplings, praying for a safe and pure new year. After eating the dumplings, the emperor had to take a bath and change clothes when the sky was slightly bright, put on the crown clothes, and then went to the Tai Chi Palace to perform the Kaifeng ceremony and accept the eulogy memorials presented by the officials.
Then, the emperor bestowed them with purses containing gold and silver, and then all the officials would gather at the Taiji Palace Square to pay New Year greetings to the emperor. At this time, officials from all over the country would also pay pilgrimage in the direction of the emperor to complete the New Year ceremony.
At this point, the emperor has completed the New Year greeting ceremony of the previous dynasty, but then he will return to the harem to start the New Year greeting ceremony in the harem. The emperor will lead the 3,000 beauties in the harem to perform the ceremony of six sues, three kneelings and three prostrations, participate in a grand family banquet, and officially start the new year in a busy way.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor was very busy.
Song Yunzhao is also very busy.
She faintly heard someone yelling, her eyelids were too heavy to lift, and she felt that the person holding her was about to get up. Thinking about today's day, she still struggled to open her eyes.
"Sleep a little longer, the harem is not in a hurry." Feng Yi felt a little guilty when he saw Yun Zhao like this, and he really went a little too far afterwards.
How could Song Yunzhao give up this opportunity to gain favor, hugged the emperor's arm and acted like a baby, "This is the first New Year we spend together, I want to accompany you, and I also want the emperor to accompany me."
Feng Yi reached out and hugged Yun Zhao, "Then get up quickly, the hour waits for no one."
She insisted on being brave, Feng Yi also let her go, the first person would care about him so much, wanting to accompany him to do everything new to him.
Song Yunzhao gritted his teeth and asked Xiangxue to give him a handkerchief soaked in cold water. When he exhaled on his face, he instantly regained consciousness.
Feng Yi's hand was still in front of Yun Zhao's nose, and he didn't have time to stop it, so he really couldn't laugh or cry.
Reached out to pick up Yun Zhao, "You're so stupid."
Song Yunzhao:…
After living two lifetimes, this is the first time someone called her stupid!
Seeing how the emperor was moved, Song Yunzhao felt it was worth it.
Isn't she working so hard to consolidate her position?
Cold her face, but warmed the emperor's heart.
Song Yunzhao immediately jumped up and hugged the emperor's waist, ignoring the presence of Meng Jiuchang and others, and said with a smile: "Be silly, the emperor doesn't like it?"
From now on, she and the emperor will enter the second stage of love mode.
Give him the exclusive mode of outputting the word like!
