Rebirth: Raising an Emperor as a Wife

Chapter 16 The Audience Part 1

Next, the original intention was to go to the Queen's Palace. When I got to the door, I found out that the Queen has lived in Facheng Temple these days. This Facheng Temple was specially built by the current emperor in the palace for the convenience of the Queen Mother. Buddhist temple.Although it was for the Empress Dowager, it was also convenient for other Buddha-respecting people in the palace.

Since it is inconvenient for the queen to meet guests, it is not good to stay here.The master and servant went straight to Concubine Chen's palace.On the way of this trip, there is a lotus pond. It is the season when the lotus blossoms are dark green and the hibiscus is in bud, but few people come to visit it.Seeing that the sun had risen a little higher, Jing Yi deliberately brought Xue Yao over to hide from the shade.

When they came to the pond, they saw willow branches swaying lightly, sleeves full of lotus fragrance, and a small stand built up by a few bluestone slabs, which was half submerged in the water. There was still a small boat tied under the willow tree. The upper planks were in disrepair and dilapidation.

"Xue Yao, do you know the origin of this lotus pond?"

How did Xue Yao know these allusions in the palace, he just felt that the lotus wind was blowing, so refreshing.He leaned against the willow tree and listened to Jingyi telling stories.It turns out that this lotus pond was built because of Concubine Chen.When Concubine Chen Guifei first entered the palace, the emperor loved her very much. Hearing that she loved lotus, he dug it for her near the palace. The willows planted all over the pond were also planted by the two of them.

It's obviously the love of the emperor and concubine, but no joy can be heard from Jing Yi's tone.Come to think of it, it is probably common for newcomers in the palace to laugh and old ones to cry.Concubine Chen Gui and the emperor may have lost their love for a long time.

The two of them were thinking about each other here, when they suddenly heard someone say, "Sixth brother really enjoys it, a good place with such a beautiful scenery, I don't call it the palace." Looking at the sound, it turned out to be the prince.

Prince Wang De, who is about 23 years old at this time, is wearing a moon-white uniform, shaking a folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man.Xue Yao recalled the time in his previous life, when he first met the crown prince, he still felt that this man looked extremely friendly and courteous to the corporal, but later he realized that what kind of friendliness and courtesy to the corporal were all just fake appearances.

Jing Yi hurriedly took a few steps forward to salute, "I've seen Brother Huang."

The prince rushed over to support Jing Yi, "Sixth brother, you and I are brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. I heard that you were sick a few days ago, but you are better off."

The prince was extremely intimacy, and the sincerity in his eyes seemed to be innocent. Xue Yao was also a little puzzled. He had never heard of the prince's friendship with brothers in his previous life.

"Thank you, brother, for your concern, and my brother is fine." After Jing Yi finished speaking, he took half a step back without a trace, and called Xue Yao to come over to pay his respects, "Xue Yao, why don't you come to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xue Yao knew that this was because Jing Yi was afraid that he would not know the prince, so he wanted to make a point.Xue Yaoxin said, I have known him for decades. This guy is an incompetent prince now, and will be a fatuous emperor in the future. Our Shenji is the one who destroyed him.But it was not easy to please him, "The humble Xue Yao sees His Royal Highness, Your Highness Wan'an."

With a correct posture, a sincere attitude, and no mistakes, Jing Yi let go of his nervous mind.But he didn't want to, a person beside the prince suddenly got into trouble, and shouted, "Bold Xue Yao, you dare to wear a weapon in front of the prince, because you want to assassinate him. Come on, arrest me." As soon as the voice fell, the guards behind the prince Swords were drawn out of their sheaths one after another, and Xue Yao was surrounded.

Xue Yao snorted coldly in his heart. The guards in the palace never said that they were not allowed to carry weapons. The prince used this to make things difficult, and he didn't know whether he wanted to beat himself or Jing Yi. He was never afraid of fighting, but he was afraid of hurting Jing. different.

Jing Yi really didn't expect to meet the prince here, and he was also nervous. He hurried into the encirclement and protected Xue Yao behind him, "Brother Huang, calm down. This sword is a gift from my younger brother. If you don't believe me, take a look."

As he said, he took the sword in Xue Yao's hand and handed it to the prince, "Brother, please look, this sword is still Fengyangzi that you brought your servants to look for, and the word "Jing" engraved on the hilt is also yours. Engraved."

Feng Yangzi is a well-known swordsmith in the world, and the swords he forges are extremely expensive, and non-emperors and important officials cannot afford to enjoy them.Back then when he traveled to Xingdu, the prince specially invited him to the palace to forge swords for himself, and he also forged one for Jing Yi by the way.The scene above was really carved by him.And the bright characters on the crown prince's own sword were carved by Jing Yi.

Xue Yao was protected by Jing Yi. Seeing the young man with hair not as tall as his own, some inexplicable emotions surged in his heart. Everything the child said was true. He said that he wanted to protect himself, even if the opposite was a sword Stand up and protect.

The prince took the sword, and saw the words "Jing" engraved by himself on the hilt. He waved his hand to make the guard back, and squinted at Xue Yao. , if something happens to the sixth prince, don't say that the emperor can't spare you, this prince will not let you go, you know?"

Xue Yao hurriedly took the sword, and tried to put on a look of sincerity and fear, "His Royal Highness, Xie Sixth Highness, I will do my best to protect His Highness Sixth, and I will never hesitate."

What he said was too slippery, which made the prince lose his temper, "Since that's the case, sixth brother, I'll go to pay my respects to the queen mother first." After saying that, he led the people and left in a mighty manner.

"Brother, go slowly."

"Humble post to send off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When it was confirmed that the prince and his party had gone far away, Jing Yi suddenly stopped and asked, "Why are those words you just said exactly the same as what you said before?"

Xue Yao chuckled, "I can't think of any other words right now."

When Jing Yi heard this, he laughed loudly, "Try to stay away from him in the future."

Xue Yao: "Your Highness, don't you think His Highness the Crown Prince looks very friendly?"

Jing Yi glanced at him meaningfully, "Are there any friendly people in the palace?"

Thinking about it carefully, what Jing Yi said is actually true.The most lacking thing in this palace is friendly people.

Concubine Chen's palace is full of Xiangfei bamboos, and there are cool green spaces everywhere.Xue Yao came to the palace with Jing Yi, Concubine Chen Guifei was sitting on the collapsed bed and reading a book, when she saw Jing Yi coming in, her face was full of surprise, she immediately pulled Jing Yi into her arms, her tears were like broken pearls It fell down, "Jing'er, you have suffered."

It turned out that Jing Yi's nickname was Jing'er, Xue Yao secretly laughed in his heart, and as expected, as Huzi said, the word Jing was inseparable from him.

Jing Yi only called "Mother Concubine" in a sticky voice, but his words were choked up.It is said that no matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of your mother, let alone Jing Yi is a child.This time, he almost lost his life in Huangquan, and was almost separated from heaven and man forever. It was indeed worth crying for this mother and child.

It's just that Xue Yao stood there, a little uncomfortable.
