Chapter five hundred and sixteen
Liang Huanqing was not surprised. If nothing else happened, Qi Jingqin would have arrived in the next few days, but it was still unexpected. Why did he come so soon and without any warning.
They haven't seen each other for more than a month, or almost half a year. Liang Huanqing's memory of Qi Jingqin still remains at the time when he prayed at Lingshan Mountain.
Although he knew that Qi Jingqin would definitely come, Liang Huanqing had a strange and unexpected feeling in his eyes for some reason, as if he shouldn't have appeared here.
He Yu and others behind Qi Jingqin saw the Queen turned around and saw the Emperor, and then they all knelt down and shouted: "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed--"
He Yu and the others were all people who had served in the Qinzheng Hall when the Queen was behind the curtain to listen to politics, and they probably knew her character.
Although sometimes they are strict, they are really kind to their servants. Sometimes they don't care about small problems. They feel more comfortable serving the Queen than serving the Emperor.
But now the Emperor has not seen the Queen for more than a month since he came back. The Queen is seriously ill, and the Emperor is indifferent. As slaves, they naturally don't know what happened between the Emperor and the Queen, but
But he also knew that the discord between the emperor and the empress was such a big deal.
Now the emperor has finally come to Qianning Palace to see the empress. They all think that the empress is finally going to stand up. After all, they are the ones who suffer from the discord between the emperor and the empress. It is very painful for them as slaves to be mixed in.
.
He Yu originally thought that the Empress was such a good person and had established a stable position for the Emperor. He once joked that if the Emperor came back, he would definitely be very grateful to the Empress.
But now this sentence seems to have become a huge irony.
After not seeing her for a month, the Empress looked very haggard. He Yu had heard about the Empress's plight in private. When she was seriously ill, no imperial doctor came to treat her. It was a very difficult time for Qianning Palace during that time.
It's time for darkness.
Now that it was finally over, He Yu and the others were all sincerely happy for her.
When Liang Huanqing saw Qi Jingqin, she was stunned. When He Yu and the others saluted her, she came back to her senses. Then she stood up from the imperial concubine's couch, looked at He Yu, then looked at the emperor, bowed her head and saluted.
: "I, my concubine, send my regards to the Emperor. I wish the Emperor happiness, longevity and good health."
Liang Huanqing was neither humble nor arrogant, his tone was as calm as water, and his whole person was like a pot of light fragrant tea. He no longer had the weird feeling he had before.
After all, Liang Huanqing surrendered to the rules and was bound by them.
Qi Jingqin looked at Liang Huanqing in front of him and was speechless. He didn't know if he had changed or if she had changed. In short, he no longer had the same feeling as before. He only felt that she was cold and strange.
Someone seemed to have heard the words "Long Blessings to the Queen" in the Haitang Garden, and then hurried over to take a look. Normally, when the Queen was sitting alone under the crabapple tree, no one was allowed to get close.
Even Yue Bai and Tang Xue just stood aside and said nothing. The Queen seemed to really enjoy this kind of silence, especially at dusk.
I only heard that Jiang Xue once said to the Queen: "What's good to see at dusk? It's better to watch the sunrise, which symbolizes hope."
The Queen was still the Crown Princess at that time. She had only been the Crown Princess for a few days. Before He Yuan had enough time, she came to Qian Ning Palace.
At that time, she only smiled jokingly: "Watch the sunrise or not."
Everyone thought it was very reasonable but didn't know what was strange. In short, the Queen was right. During the time she was in Qianning Palace, except for the time when she was bedridden, she spent the rest of her time there. Come out to see the sun at dusk, and only come out at dusk. Even if it is rainy and there is no sun, the Queen will still sit in the small pavilion in the yard and look at the sky.
Dusk is a very beautiful, but also very sad time.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
I think the poets at that time were also lamenting the passage of time, right?
Maybe everyone in the Qianning Palace knows that the Queen loves to watch the sunset because she can't get out of bed to watch the sunrise. But only Liang Huanqing knows in her heart that she really can't get up. This is one reason, but there is another reason. A bigger reason.
She always felt that her life was just like the setting sun, falling slowly and slowly, and she would have to experience darkness for a long time in the future. It might be the next day, but no one knew whether she would be greeted by the sun. Come sunrise...
The palace people who took a look were very excited when they saw that the emperor was here. As long as the emperor was here, it meant that their empress would return to their favor, and Qianning Palace would no longer have to hold its tail between its legs outside. .
The palace servants quickly went to the small dining room to tell Aunt Yuebai and Tang Xue. After they heard the news, they subconsciously thought that Erxin had succeeded. The Queen's guess was indeed correct. The Emperor did still have feelings for the Queen. He will not leave the Queen alone.
After Yuebai and Tang Xue knew the news, they quickly ran to Haitang Garden. As soon as they entered, they saw the palace people kneeling on the ground. The Queen was bending her knees to salute in front of the Emperor. It seemed like it had been a long time. The Queen's legs were all numb. He was trembling slightly, but the emperor still didn't say the word "flat body".
Yuebai and Tang Xue looked at each other and felt that the atmosphere was a little anxious, as if it was different from what they imagined. Could it be that the emperor came to Qianning Palace to raise an army to question the crime? Why did this happen?
Qi Jingqin looked at Liang Huanqing and saw that her body was shaking uncontrollably, so he also said: "Get back on your feet."
After Liang Huanqing stood up, He Yu and the others also stood up.
"Why don't you look up at me?" Liang Huanqing kept his head down and didn't look at Qi Jingqin. He could only feel that there was a particularly strange feeling between the two of them. Qi Jingqin was very uneasy about this atmosphere, as if he was going to die in the next second. It's like losing her.
Liang Huanqing sighed softly, then raised his head and looked at Qi Jingqin, and said: "When I married into the royal palace, the concubine was taught not to look directly at the king."
The two of them looked at each other, and Qi Jingqin could feel the coldness in Liang Huanqing's eyes. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and said, "I am your husband!"
Qi Jingqin finally came. Liang Huanqing was supposed to please him in every possible way, but for some reason, Liang Huanqing's stubborn temper rose again. She said lightly: "The emperor is now the king, and he is the concubine and concubine." husband."
Yuebai and Tang Xue were extremely anxious when they heard the Queen Mother saying such angry words again. They finally expected the Emperor to come, so why did they drive him away like this?
The Empress cares about the Liang family, which shouldn't be the case. She wants to know that only when she is well will the Liang family be well.
Yuebai and Tang Xue looked at each other, then nodded, agreeing with each other's thoughts. Since the Queen is so stubborn and can't save face, they can only let them assist.
The two of them hurriedly walked in and said in unison: "My servants pay homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Liang Huanqing glanced at them, thinking that he knew what they were here for. If he didn't come earlier, he would come later, but he came at this time...
He Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. If the Empress had just said that, today's hard-earned success would be in vain. Even if the Liang family has nothing to do with He Yu, if the Empress gets better, he will follow suit. Is it better? If the Queen can be soft to the Emperor, and the Emperor will not lose control of his emotions like this, then He Yu's life of serving the Emperor in the Qinzheng Palace will be much better.
When He Sheng's father-in-law taught He Yu, he said: "The master's affairs are the master's affairs and have nothing to do with us being slaves. As long as we do our own things well, it will be fine."
At that time, He Yu didn't understand anything, so he kept Eunuch He Sheng's words in his heart. Later, when he served in the Qinzheng Palace, he also acted according to Eunuch He Sheng's words. However, gradually he also discovered that his master's The thing seems to have nothing to do with me, but it is closely related.
As long as the master is happy, then they will feel better as slaves, but like the emperor and the queen, the strong smell of gunpowder when they meet makes it really difficult to lose weight.
He Yu was relieved when he saw the two of them coming. No matter what, the two of them dared to say some words of admonishment, and they probably would not let the Queen go through what happened last time.
Qi Jingqin turned around when he heard the sound. When he saw the two of them, he looked around Haitang Garden. Except for the people he brought, there were no other servants. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "That's how you serve." The Empress? There is not even a single palace attendant in the huge Haitang Garden. The Empress is ill at the moment. If something happens, how are you going to explain to me?! I won’t come to visit Ning Palace. That’s what you are doing. Are you committing the following offense?"
Yue Bai and Tang Xue were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered and trembling, not daring to say a word at this time.
Anyone from Qianning Palace could be guilty of the following crimes, but Yuebai was the dowry girl who married Liang Huanqing from the Jianwei General's Mansion. They had grown up together, and their friendship had long since surpassed In the ordinary master-servant relationship, they have long been relatives supporting each other.
Qi Jingqin looked at them, as if he was taking out the rejection he received from Liang Huanqing on Yue Bai and Tang Xue: "He Yu!"
He Yu stood aside and when he saw the emperor calling him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm here, my servant."
"An evil slave bullies his master, how should he be punished according to the palace rules?!" Qi Jingqin pointed at them and said.
He Yu looked at Yue Bai and Tang Xue who were kneeling on the ground and said, "The evil slave who deceives his master...should be beaten to death with a cane."
"Your Majesty, spare your life!" Yue Bai and Tang Xue were frightened when they heard this, and it was as if their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths.
When Qi Jingqin was about to ask people to take Yuebai and Tang Xue down, Liang Huanqing took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty."
Everyone looked at her, and then she said: "Yue Bai and Tang Xue, I asked them to go see if the medicinal food in the dining room is good. Since I got sick, I have always liked to be quiet and don't like to make noise.
It is my own idea to enjoy such a beautiful sunset alone. It has nothing to do with them. I know my physical condition, so nothing will happen to me. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
When Liang Huanqing said this to Qi Jingqin, he kept his head down, which seemed like a sign of compromise and humility.
Qi Jingqin had been looking at her at this time, and he didn't know what to say to her at this moment. He scolded Yue Bai and Tang Xue, and it seemed that he was trying his best to prove that he cared about her, and he didn't meet her during this period.
In those days, he still cared about her and never forgot her.
But when Liang Huanqing said it like this, it seemed that Qi Jingqin was too deliberate, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, Yue Bai raised her head slightly and saw that the Emperor was looking at the Queen, and she boldly said: "Ever since the Emperor stopped coming to Qianning Palace, the Queen has always liked to watch the sunset alone. This is often the case.
The slaves never expected that the emperor would come today..."
Yue Bai's words actually made the Queen look like a watcher's stone watching for her husband to come.
After Qi Jingqin heard this, he glanced at Yuebai, then looked at Liang Huanqing...
When Liang Huanqing heard this, she felt very embarrassed. Even though she was waiting for Qi Jingqin to come see her, she still missed her as much as Yuebai said, right? But it was hard to say anything at this time. She
Knowing that they were a little stubborn at this juncture, Yuebai and Tang Xue were worried about themselves for no reason, so they were just upset for a moment, and then they could only accept this ending.
Qi Jingqin looked at Liang Huanqing from irritation to ulterior motives. Seeing her reaction, he was not a little surprised. He just thought that her face was slightly red and a little cute. I thought she was like that before, a little bit.
She is stubborn, likes to stand out, and is very kind and simple. She often helps others when encountering difficulties, and in the end, her family cleans up the mess for her.
Qi Jingqin has already seen such a sincere and lovely Liang Huanqing, so no matter how indifferent she is now, he doesn't think anything of it, at least seeing her blushing now, she is so cute, more noble and stunning than usual.
It makes people feel more comfortable.
Qi Jingqin looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
Liang Huanqing felt extremely embarrassed. She blushed and lowered her head, then glared at Yuebai, as if to warn her how irrational such behavior was.
But Yue Bai and Tang Xue were secretly happy, knowing that this method was successful. After the Queen blushed, the Emperor's face quickly softened.
I think the emperor himself missed the empress, so he came to Qianning Palace. Knowing that the empress was also thinking of him at the same time, even when he was angry again, he would be a little happy.
Both of them were suppressing their feelings.
He Yu breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to bear the emperor's anger from time to time...
