Chapter 395
This list of prisoners needed for amnesty was sent to Qianning Palace.
It turns out that when Qi Jingqin was still Prince Jing, there were no singers, dancers, or wives in the palace. There was only one Liang Huanqing, who was given a marriage contract by decree of the late emperor.
All the original concubines in the harem were sent to the Dowager Courtyard. No matter what kind of concubine they were in the past, they were all treated the same when they got there. Xia Rongxin refused to let them go, saying that since they were born as the late emperor's concubines, even if Even if he dies, he must die in the palace.
Of those concubines, only Xia Rongxin could achieve enlightenment again. As soon as the enthronement ceremony was over, Concubine Mei became the Queen Mother, and Xia Rongxin finally came to an end.
Liang Huanqing moved into Qianning Palace, which was the Queen's special courtyard. It was only half a mile away from Qinzheng Palace. The Feng Shui location was excellent. After moving in, Liang Huanqing immediately felt the difference, whether it was compared with Heyuan in the East Palace or Heyuan in the East Palace. There are obvious differences between Wangfu Linlang Garden.
The decoration is even more magnificent, with crystal bead curtains meandering and pouring. Behind the curtain, someone is playing the harp in a gauze, and the sound of the harp flows between the rising and falling of the fingertips, either virtual or real, and changing, like a dripping spring in a secluded stream. It is clear, ethereal, exquisite and clear, and then the water gathers into a gurgling sound. The gurgling strong current, with tenacious vitality, passed through the mountains, reefs and dangerous shoals, and merged into the rolling river and sea. It eventually became calm, leaving only long overtones, like the occasional splash of a fish jumping on the water. Then the long coral window was opened , there is a back garden outside the window, full of exotic flowers and grasses, very bright and beautiful, it is a place where you usually visit. There are also sixteen flower trees, each tree is tall and handsome. At the beginning of summer, the wind is blowing and the flowers are falling. Thousands of flowers cover the ground on several levels, and the back courtyard is as beautiful as the snow that has just fallen.
The more Liang Huanqing looked at it, the more he liked it. Even looking at the trees in the back courtyard, he felt that it was different from other places. He was full of praise for some of the scenery in the palace.
But Tang Xue couldn't see any difference: "Madam, most of the palaces in the palace are similar, and the servants don't see any difference between this place and other palaces."
Liang Huanqing ignored them and just smiled lightly, looking at the scenery around him. Even though he had lived in it for a while, Liang Huanqing still never tired of it. Seeing such a scene, Liang Huanqing couldn't help but smile and sighed relaxedly. One breath.
When Yuebai saw Liang Huanqing looking so happy, she naturally knew in her heart that this was the joy that came at the end of all hardships. All the hardships she had suffered in the past had now returned.
Yuebai said: "This is the middle palace, of course it is different from other places."
Liang Huanqing looked at her and smiled. As of now, only Yuebai is the most considerate person.
When Tang Xue saw what Yue Bai said, she nodded and said, "That's right. This is the middle palace. Our Crown Princess will soon become the Queen~"
This is the ending that everyone hopes for. Liang Huanqing thought that when Qi Jingyang dies, he will be relieved. Everything he does now is to make Qi Jingyang deserve what he deserves.
She had no choice but to kill the emperor, but no one could tell that it was normal for the government to be unstable now, and it was the same with every dynasty. Fortunately, there were uncle Qin Yuandao and father Liang Fengmian in the court, so everything was still under control. among.
But regarding this matter, some people are happy and some are worried. Now that I have reached this position, and some people are very happy because of it, it is only the people around me who will be happy, but my family, the people in the Liang Mansion and the Qin Mansion, seem to be a little worried. Own.
Liang Huanqing didn't know what to do to stop them from worrying. No matter how powerful she was, she was just a woman. There was no way she could please everyone. Fortunately, she was in the palace now, so they couldn't come in and care about her. , In this way, Liang Huanqing can be regarded as having a lot of peace of mind.
From Liang Huanqing's point of view, she could only deal with immediate matters, and there was no way to take care of things further away. She felt guilty about this, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Fengyang Pavilion... How is Princess Wangshu doing?" After Liang Huanqing entered the Qianning Palace, Qi Wangshu did not come to see her. Although there were many things during this period, they are now resolved. More than half of it.
Only Qi Jingqin can solve the next thing. The epidemic outside the palace is also a hot potato. To encounter such a thing at the beginning of the year can be said to be an uncertain situation.
All of this is more or less God's will and man-made, but Qi Wangshu has done nothing here. She has been enduring all the unfortunate endings. Among the royal family, she is the most flamboyant and comfortable, but she is also the most worthy. Feeling distressed.
After Liang Huanqing calmed down, she wondered if she would be sad. If she said she didn't blame herself, it would be a lie. Qi Bingyu's death had something to do with her. Qi Wangshu was Qi Bingyu's biological daughter, and she must have grown up holding it in her hands. Big one, Qi Bingyu died, Qi Wangshu didn't know how sad he was...
Yue Bai knew that Liang Huanqing would be worried about this. Furthermore, Liang Ji was also worried about Qi Wangshu's situation and would ask someone to inquire. Didn't this inquiry mean that he found out that Yue Bai was here?
Liang Ji was worried that Liang Huanqing was too busy to take care of these things, so he could only ask Yue Bai to help inquire. Life was not easy for anyone nowadays, so he did not dare to come directly to the harem to see Qi Wangshu.
"Crown Princess, Princess Wangshu hasn't left the house for some days. Ever since she returned to the palace from Dongling that day, Princess Wangshu has been locking herself up in Fengyang Pavilion." Yuebai said.
"Where is Qingyin? Are you with her?" Liang Huanqing knew that Qi Wangshu would be sad, which was inevitable. Qi Wangshu had never lost anything. He always got what he wanted. Qi Bingyu was her closest relative. Last time She was extremely uncomfortable when Xiaolian died in front of her, let alone her father.
"Qingyin has been outside the dormitory door. Princess Wangshu locked the door and refused to let them in." Yuebai said cautiously.
"Why are you telling me now about such a big thing!" Liang Huanqing was a little unhappy, "It's been two or three days since I came back from Dongling! If this continues, what will happen if the princess's health is ruined?"
Yuebai and Tang Xue looked at each other, and then said quickly: "My Lady, you have been tired for a long time. I would like to let you rest more. In a few days, the enthronement ceremony will be held. You still have a lot of things to do." Things are going to be busy..."
There have been so many things going on recently, even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't take care of them. Yuebai is also worried about her body. She hasn't had a good rest since the Spring Banquet.
"Concubine Mei's side... well, we can't count on her now." Liang Huanqing originally thought that Concubine Mei was still in charge of the harem and asked her to help persuade Qi Wangshu, but then she thought about it,
Now, neither of them is doing much better, there is no hope at all, "Prepare the sedan, I'll go to Fengyang Pavilion to have a look."
Yuebai turned around and glanced at Tang Xue. Tang Xue bowed quickly and trotted down to prepare the sedan chair.
Liang Huanqing sat on his seat, supporting his head with one hand. There were too many things going on right now, and Liang Huanqing couldn't be busy at all. During the enthronement ceremony, he had to meet Zhao Zexun, and he didn't know if the people sent by his brother had arrived.
, are you on your way back to Beijing now?
But thinking about it in the future, if Qi Jingyang really dies as she wishes, then everything she does now will be worth it. Just take it one step at a time, and walk the road well first.
Yuebai stood behind her, squeezing her shoulders. She also knew in her heart how hard Liang Huanqing had been recently. She thought that if something happened to her, she should help him deal with it. He couldn't rely on her for everything.
Alone, this is too tiring.
"He...Manager He!"
Tang Xue's voice came from outside, which made Liang Huanqing and Yue Bai feel a little strange and looked at each other.
"Miss Tang Xue, this is really embarrassing for our family. Master is still here, so you should call me He Yu."
Liang Huanqing and Yuebai looked at each other, thinking that it was He Yu who came this time, but why did He Yu come here? Did something happen at Qinzheng Hall?
"Is the Crown Princess here?" He Yu asked.
Yuebai hurriedly walked out. When he saw He Yu, he quickly said: "Eunuch He Yu, please come inside. The Crown Princess is inside."
After saying that, he gave Tang Xue a wink: "Prepare the sedan chair first and wait until the empress has settled the matter."
Tang Xue was relieved and went down. Yue Bai quickly led He Yu inside.
After entering the back courtyard, Liang Huanqing sat with her back to them. Yuebai said, "My dear, Eunuch He Yu is here."
"Yes." Liang Huanqing responded, then slowly stood up and turned to look at them.
After He Yu saw Liang Huanqing, he bowed slightly and said, "I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."
"No gift." Liang Huanqing put his eyes on the stack of books held in He Yu's hand, and was a little bit curious as to why he came to Qianning Palace, "Eunuch He came to Qianning Palace, but does His Highness the Crown Prince have anything to explain?
?”
"The Crown Princess." He Yu handed the booklet in his hand to Yue Bai and asked her to bring it to Liang Huanqing, and then said, "This is the list compiled by the Ministry of Punishment for the purpose of amnesty for the world during the enthronement ceremony. Your Majesty asked her to
I'll bring it to you for a look."
Liang Huanqing looked at the list of names in front of him. In the past, he had only heard about the amnesty for the world, but he said that he had only heard about it and had never actually seen it. He never expected that it really existed.
She picked up the booklet with the amnesty list and looked through it casually. It was densely packed with names and the crimes behind them. She didn't know what to read anyway, so she put it on the tea seat aside and said to He Yu:
"Isn't this just for the Ministry of Punishment to make a list? What is the purpose of showing it to me? Doesn't the general amnesty mean that all the prisoners are released? This small matter can be left to the people below to handle it. This is
I look at it, look left and right, but I can’t see anything interesting.”
Then he winked at Yue Bai, who picked up the brochure on the tea table and handed it back to He Yu.
Liang Huanqing continued: "I have looked through it. You can take it back and communicate with His Highness the Crown Prince."
He Yu glanced at it, leaned down again, and said, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince said, let the Queen see them one by one."
He Yu couldn't point out Lu Huiling's matter directly in front of Liang Huanqing, so he could only hint like this. He didn't know how to say it directly. General He Sheng taught them to be slaves and to be tactful in everything. That's all. Don't be too decisive.
Yuebai looked at Liang Huanqing in embarrassment, not knowing who should give the booklet in her hand.
Liang Huanqing also felt strange in her heart, wasn't it just a list of some prisoners? Since it was a general amnesty, just register and release them, couldn't they just leave these things to the Yamen below? Why should she have to do it in person? Have a look?
Helpless and not knowing what kind of medicine Qi Jingqin sold in his gourd, Liang Huanqing waved to Yuebai, then took the booklet back and slowly looked through it in his hand.
"Lian Zhen, Feng He, Bao Fengling, Yan Guangliang, Bu Guoshan..." Liang Huanqing looked at it and whispered in her mouth. Qi Jingqin said that he wanted her to look at them one by one, so she took it seriously. Just do it.
"Ah~" Liang Huanqing flipped through page after page. The densely packed names made Liang Huanqing's eyes dazzled. He had not had a good rest to begin with, and now he felt like sleeping after reading for a while.
"Your Majesty, please take a sip of water and rest." Yuebai looked distressed and handed her the tea.
Liang Huanqing put down the booklet, took the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip. He looked up and saw He Yu still standing guard beside him, looking like he was hesitant to speak. He felt a little annoyed in his heart: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. Why bother?" Why are you embarrassing me so much?"
It was obvious that He Yu knew why Qi Jingqin asked Liang Huanqing to read the brochure, but he didn't know what to say. When Liang Huanqing looked through it one by one, He Yu was also entangled in his heart. He didn't know whether he should say directly that he was I know what kind of hatred there is between Liang Huanqing and Lu Huiling. If I say it directly like this, I don’t know what will happen...
He Yu didn't dare to say it directly, so he just stood there silently. It is now forbidden to mention the word "Lu Huiling" in the palace. Only those who experienced it at that time know what Lu Huiling caused the feast. Perhaps today's poor national fortunes have something to do with the New Year's Eve feast.
Everyone said this, and He Yu even dared not mention it.
Liang Huanqing looked at him with a look of disdain, sighed, put down the cup, then picked up the booklet and read it word by word.
"Wu Zhen, Ju Dongwei, Xu Biling, Bian Yao..." Suddenly, Liang Huanqing frowned and brushed those three words with her fingers.
When He Yu saw the Crown Princess stopped, he raised his head and glanced at her, then quickly lowered his head again.
Yuebai felt strange why the Crown Princess was so stunned, so she stepped forward to take a look, and was a little surprised when she saw the name.
"Lu Huiling." Liang Huanqing murmured, "She is still alive?"
Then Liang Huanqing quickly looked at He Yu and asked hurriedly: "Is Lu Huiling also on the amnesty list?"
He Yu raised his head slightly and glanced at the booklet, nodded and said: "In response to the Crown Princess... Yes, Lu Huiling was originally exiled to Ninggu Pagoda, and it stands to reason that she is also on the amnesty list. "
"Ning Guta is desolate and cold, why is she still alive?! What's more... what's more, she's crazy!" Liang Huanqing couldn't control himself when he thought of Lu Huiling. Lu Huiling once liked Qi Jingqin, but it was because of Qi Jingqin that he
, so she made things difficult for herself in every possible way. Both Jiang Yi and Xiaolian died because of her, but they didn’t expect that she is still alive now!
"Your Majesty, it was Prince Cong who arranged for people to take care of her in Ninggu Pagoda, so she survived..." He Yu said cautiously: "The Emperor asked your servant to ask you, is this Lu Huiling a pardon or a pardon?"
