On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial concubine originally wanted to ask Yuan Qingling to come into the palace and explain clearly what happened to Concubine Hu, but she looked back and thought about it, she was naked on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which was a bit unpleasant, so she chose this
It was not appropriate to talk about it in heaven, so the edict was not passed on.
Concubine Hu was spending her days like years. She didn't think about the overall situation. She just wanted to prevent people from misunderstanding her intentions in this regard, especially to explain clearly to the Crown Princess. Therefore, she thought that the Imperial Concubine was as anxious to explain as she was, so she would
On the third day of the lunar month, Yuan Qing was invited to come and inquired several times. However, she was told that the imperial concubine had not given any orders and that the crown princess had not been seen entering the palace.
She became more and more anxious, and from the first to the third day of the lunar month, she never saw the emperor coming to her palace. She had random thoughts and felt that no one trusted her, and she felt even more discouraged.
She called all the people who were waiting in the palace to come over and interrogated her carefully to see who had taught Xiao Lao Shi what he said, but they all denied it.
In desperation, Concubine Hu had no choice but to ask Xiao Lao Shi again, who said this to him. Xiao Lao Ten was still young, not to mention whether he could remember things or not. He didn't even know what it meant to be an emperor.
, Concubine Hu pressed him for a few questions, and he simply started crying. Concubine Hu was so angry that she beat him several times.
Xiao Lao Shi was also a good-tempered person. He was not happy about being beaten for no reason. He cried and wanted to complain to his father. Concubine Hu was exhausted mentally and physically by him and had no one to talk to, so she called for someone to go.
Report to the emperor whether the mother's family can be allowed to enter the palace to meet.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was not so strict about concubines meeting their natal families, and the Marquis of Zhenbei always went to the palace to see his concubines. However, when the palace officials went to petition Emperor Ming Yuan, Emperor Ming Yuan refused and said he would wait until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
At that time, the concubines’ natal families were allowed to visit their relatives in the palace.
Emperor Ming Yuan refused. Concubine Hu thought too much and cried all night. The next day she really couldn't bear it, so she asked someone to leave the palace and asked Yuan Qing Ling to come into the palace to meet her.
She asked people to watch at the palace gate. When Yuanqing Lingruo came into the palace, she asked the imperial concubine to come too.
Concubine Hu invited Yuan Qingling to definitely come, and she also had to bring the Emperor's asthma medicine.
After she entered the palace, Concubine Hu went to invite the imperial concubine. In fact, the imperial concubine had planned to send a decree to invite Yuan Qingling today, but she didn't expect that Concubine Hu was impatient herself, so they just said it together.
Clearly understood.
When she arrived at the Cai Lian Hall, Yuan Qing Ling had just arrived, so she hurriedly greeted the imperial concubine and went into the hall together.
Concubine Hu was waiting inside. After hearing the announcement from the palace, she led Xiao Lao Shi out of the palace. When she saw Yuan Qing Ling with red and swollen eyes, she couldn't help but shed tears of grievance. She dragged Xiao Lao Shi to kneel down together.
On the stone steps, I cried and swore to the sky, "The emperor is above and the emperor is below. If I have the slightest desire to covet the throne, I guarantee that our mother and son will be quartered by five horses, and we will not die a good death!"
Concubine Hu's move made Yuan Qing Ling confused, "Concubine Hu, why do you say such serious words?"
The imperial concubine was also angry when she saw her like this, "Bah, you can just swear by yourself, how can you take a child to swear?"
Get up, Guier, and come to the imperial concubine."
Xiao Lao Shi was already feeling aggrieved, but now that he saw that the imperial concubine loved him, he cried and ran over to complain to the imperial concubine, "The imperial concubine beat me, the imperial concubine beat me."
The imperial concubine hugged Little Lao Shi and looked at Concubine Hu, her lips trembling with anger, "What did you say you did?
What do you do if you wrong your child?"
Concubine Hu cried and said: "If this were not the case, would the Crown Princess trust me as a concubine?"
Yuan Qingling became more and more confused, "What happened?
Concubine Hu, please get up quickly. Why are you kneeling to the sky and the earth?
This is not a day of worship."
Yuan Qing hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, because she couldn't bear the sight of Concubine Hu kneeling down towards her. Concubine Hu was the woman of her father's emperor.
After entering the palace, Yuan Qingling asked: "What's going on?"
Seeing her pretending to be confused and confused, Concubine Hu said that it was hard for her to point it out, so she said: "The words Guier said at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve must have made the Crown Princess feel uncomfortable, but I can tell God
I swear, I have never taught him to say such words, and I have no such idea in my heart."
Yuan Qing Ling was stunned and looked at Xiao Lao Shi, who was sobbing in the arms of the imperial concubine, "What did Xiao Lao Shi say?"
Concubine Hu sighed deeply, "Why does the Crown Princess have to point it out so much?
That’s what he said about wanting to be emperor in the future.”
Yuan Qing laughed loudly, looked at Xiao Lao Shi, and said jokingly: "Hey, you have such ambition, you want to be the emperor?"
Little Lao Shi didn't dare to say this now, and hid in the arms of the imperial concubine, "I don't want to, I don't want to!"
Yuan Qingling looked at Concubine Hu, "The child is so young. If you say a joke, you can't offend or hurt anyone. Concubine Hu, is that why?"
Concubine Hu said: "But I wanted to explain to you that night, but I didn't stop you."
Yuan Qing laughed, "I didn't hear it, and to be honest, I didn't hear what Xiao Lao Shi said. I was busy talking about Princess Meng Yue at that time. Even if I heard it, what does it matter?
ah?
No matter what Little Lao Shi says he wants to be now, it is all a child's joke or ambition. Can I argue with my child?
Do you think that I am too stingy?"
She shook her head angrily and amusedly. Because of the child's joke, Concubine Hu knelt down and cried. She didn't know what she thought was wrong.
Concubine Hu was not happy when she heard this. Instead, she cried again, "You don't care, but the emperor does. He doesn't believe me, thinking that I instigated Guier to say it. Even the princess believes me, he
Why don't you believe me?
Even if I want to invite my father into the palace today, I won't be allowed."
Concubine Hu cried so miserably that her haggard face was covered with tears, and her nose and eyes were red and swollen.
The imperial concubine comforted and said: "Go back and tell the emperor a few words. Don't cry. The emperor knows your temperament. How can he not believe you?"
"He just doesn't believe me. I'm so heart-breaking to him, but he just doesn't believe me."
Concubine Hu was heartbroken. She was young and obsessed with Emperor Ming Yuan. Emperor Ming Yuan's disbelief was the heaviest blow to her.
Seeing her crying uncontrollably, the imperial concubine looked at Yuan Qingling for help. Yuan Qingling was helpless. How could she interfere with the love between her father and his concubine?
There is nothing I can do to persuade you.
The imperial concubine could only say: "Okay, okay, I will personally invite the emperor here. Please stop crying. Isn't it bad luck for you to cry so miserably during the Chinese New Year?"
As the imperial concubine said this, she took Xiao Lao Shi's hand and went out together, asking Yuan Qingling to comfort her here.
Yuan Qingling was completely confused today, but looking at the wailing concubine Hu, she suddenly realized that the fact that Lao Wu was the prince was deeply recognized by the court and even the royal family. His
The status cannot be offended.
One joke made the strong and frank concubine Hu become so nervous and anxious.
