MTL - Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor-Chapter 126 copper finch
Yu Qingjia's eyes widened, obviously very surprised. When she heard the back, she remained silent and just looked at Princess Song quietly.
After Princess Song finished speaking, she asked with a dignified and virtuous smile, "Miss Liu Liu, what do you think?"
Although Princess Song asked this question, she looked determined, as if she had given Yu Qingjia a great favor, and she was sure that the other party would not be willing to refuse. Concubine Song didn't really ask for this, she just wanted to show the generosity of her regular wife.
"What do I think?" Yu Qingjia repeated this sentence slowly, and suddenly suppressed all her laughter, and said, "Thanks to the princess and the county king, I have no intention of marrying into the royal family, and my father has already given me a good idea of the marriage. I appreciate the kindness, but it's a pity that the servant girl can't use it."
Concubine Song originally had the chance to win, but when she heard Yu Qingjia's answer, the smile on her lips froze a little bit. She turned cold and forced a smile: "Miss Yu Liu, what does this mean?"
"That's what the princess heard." Yu Qingjia said, "I don't want to, please ask the princess to reject the county king on behalf of the courtiers."
Princess Song's last trace of her pretended smile was gone, she snorted coldly, and said, "Miss Yu Liu, you have to be careful with Qiao. It's rare for the king of the county to take a fancy to you. You should put on airs and put on your identity properly." Interesting, but if it crosses the line, it means that you don’t know the seriousness, and you are not up or down. If you do this again, be careful to really annoy the county king, and it will be too late for you to regret it.”
"It's okay." Yu Qingjia sat upright, her hands were placed in front of her body, her hands were tightly covered by the wide sleeves, and the lower edge of the sleeves and the hem of the skirt were stacked on top of each other. Yu Qingjia's expression was gentle, but it was a kind of polite alienation, and his actual attitude was thousands of miles away: "If telling the truth will annoy the county king, then there is nothing I can do. But I still need the princess to make it clear that I have another marriage match , I don’t dare to climb up to the county king, please ask the princess and the county king to choose another good wife.”
Princess Song carefully looked at Yu Qingjia's expression. She found that Yu Qingjia's eyes were calm and calm. Princess Song was really surprised, she said in surprise: "You don't want to marry the county king? The county king is the eldest prince, and he will become the prince in the future!"
"I know. So congratulations to the concubine, and concubine Yu. I have no ambitions, my servant, so I won't get involved with the concubine and concubine Yu." Yu Qingjia stood up as she spoke, folded her hands, and gently gave her a hand. Concubine Song saluted, "Concubine Wang rests at ease, and my daughter-in-law will leave."
Princess Song stared at Yu Qingjia motionlessly, even the most common curtsy, Yu Qingjia did better than others. Her chin is slightly closed, her eyes are drooping, and her wide-sleeved dress is stacked on the ground with her movements, beautiful and luxurious. It's just that she wears plain clothes for filial piety. What kind of scene would it be if she was dressed up and her long hair was **** in a beautiful high bun?
Song Wangfei slightly hooked the corners of her lips, suddenly stopped pretending, and said coldly: "You just said that you don't want to, do you not want to enter the palace, or do you not want to be a side concubine?"
Yu Qingjia also smiled detachedly, and asked politely: "There are only two of us here, the princess may wish to speak clearly."
"I misunderstood you. It seems that you are much smarter than your elder sister. You don't want to enter the palace as a side concubine, so that means you are looking at the position of my concubine?"
Yu Qingjia's eyes moved, and she glanced at Princess Song in surprise. Concubine Song feels very good about herself. It's not like there are no men in the world. Is it true that all women are rushing to marry her husband? Yu Qingjia couldn't bear it anymore, exhaled, and said: "The princess still doesn't seem to understand. If this is the case, then I will stop beating around the bush to save face, and just talk to the princess. I don't like King Guangping at all, and I don't want to have any trouble with him." Therefore, the princess does not need to win me over and suppress me at the same time. With this strength, the princess should be placed on the real concubine of your palace. I have no intention of marrying into the royal family, and I will not pose a threat to the princess in the future. The princess does not have to waste her thoughts .”
After Yu Qingjia finished speaking, she nodded to Princess Song and turned her head to go out. Princess Song looked at Yu Qingjia's back in surprise, and couldn't believe the scene in front of her. She called several times, but Yu Qingjiaquan pretended not to hear, and walked out quickly.
Yu Qingjia walked out of the side hall, and the maids on both sides came and went, seeing Yu Qingjia saluted quickly, then ran away quickly. Today the emperor is in a good mood, and all the officials and their family members who are above the fourth rank in Beijing can participate in the grand banquet at the Tongque Terrace. The banquet was very grand, and the maids and eunuchs were busy everywhere, arranging plates or placing utensils, in a hurry and extravagance.
The banquet has not started yet, the men are waiting in the front court, and the female relatives are waiting in the flower hall behind. After Yu Qingjia came out from Concubine Song, she felt irritated and didn't want to go to the crowded place in the flower hall, so she took her maids and walked aimlessly on the corridor bridges on both sides of Tongque Terrace.
Now that there is no one around, Yu Qingjia silently cursed that she was sick. Concubine Song and King Guangping are too pretentious. Now it's just rumors that they will become crown princes. They have already put on the posture of choosing concubines before they become princes. It's ridiculous, who do they think they are, do they think that everyone is eager to marry into the Guangping Palace and be low-key?
Yu Qingjia supported the red-painted railing, let out a long breath, and finally felt the gloom in her heart dissipate a little. However, after pouring out what was in her heart, she fell into another kind of bewildered melancholy. Although she didn't like Princess Song's behavior, it was undeniable that Princess Song was probably the future Crown Princess. The queen doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, she teases wantonly with her foreign ministers, even the future concubine is a man of calculation and duplicity, the two most noble women in Northern Qi are like this, what will the court be like in the future?
Yu Qingjia was speechless for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked, a ten-foot-high platform suddenly rose from the flat ground, and a five-story building was built on it, with a total of twenty-seven feet to the ground. The high-rise buildings are all decorated with gold and copper, and when the sun rises, it is full of radiance and brilliance. There are three high platforms in front and back on the foundation, and among the three high platforms, the one where Yu Qingjia is located is the most gorgeous. The towers have multiple eaves and overlapping peaks, and are connected with each other by light arch bridges, just like a rainbow. On the top of the tower, a bronze sparrow is cast, which is lifelike and ready to fly, so it is named Tongque Terrace.
Yu Qingjia leaned on the railing of Tongque Terrace, condescending, and the palace people on the ground were as insignificant as ants. Looking farther away, under the stone steps of white marble, the water of the Zhanghe River flows into the Xuanwu Pool through the dark passage around the Tongque Terrace, and there is a long passage in the middle to communicate with the palace and the outside world. . It is conceivable that the cost of Tongque Terrace is huge. This is not only a palace, a place for the emperor to hold banquets and enjoyment, but also a military fortress with complete functions and both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Looking at the magnificent building under her feet, Yu Qingjia couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion. Bai Rong lowered her hands to look at it for a while, then quietly stepped forward to remind: "My lady, it's almost time, it's time for the banquet."
"Okay." Yu Qingjia nodded, and finally glanced under the tall building, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
In the palace, candles were burning brightly on both sides, and musicians sat behind the curtains, playing the pipa horizontally, and the drums and sheng. Yu Qingjia sat down on her seat lightly, and after she sat down, she waited for a long time before the queen came late.
Yu Qingjia noticed with sharp eyes that the queen's hair seemed to have been combed again, and Yin Yikun accompanied the queen and entered the arena with the queen. Yu Qingjia looked away, as if she hadn't seen anything.
As soon as Yin Yikun showed up, all the courtiers around stood up and bowed their hands to salute Yin Yikun. They laughed as if they didn't see Yin Yikun coming out with the queen. The queen sent her father-in-law to invite the emperor outside, and after a while, the emperor arrived.
The emperor showed up, and there was a lot of cheers at the banquet. The emperor strode past, and after he sat down, the **** shouted shrilly, "Excuse me."
Everyone stood up, and there was a rustling sound from the friction of sleeves. Murong's family has good appearance, and the emperor is no exception. Compared with his peers, the emperor is handsome and thin, but if you look closely at his face, there are many traces of time on it. The ends of his eyes were slightly upturned, such eyes were logically quite attractive, but the emperor's eyes were dark, and there was a kind of viciousness and stubbornness in his gestures, which made people very uncomfortable to watch. Especially his eyes are still tinged with blue, one can see that he is indulging in sensuality, and his life is very unrestrained.
Everyone else got up and returned to their seats, only Yin Yikun stood where they were. After everyone was seated, Yin Yikun immediately became the focus of the audience. This seems to be the effect Yin Yikun wanted. He smiled with satisfaction, raised his wine bottle, and said to the emperor: "The Holy One is wise, and the battle is winning. At this speed, I am afraid that the rebels will be suppressed within half a month, and the rebels will be captured alive." The leader of the army. With today's situation of governing the world, it all depends on the emperor's sage and diligence, and the minister is full of heart, and respects the emperor."
Yin Yikun drank the wine in the cup, and the emperor was held comfortably, and said with a smile: "Yin Aiqing is so concerned about the dawn of the world, I am very relieved, and I drink this cup with the prime minister."
The emperor picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, while the maid next to him knelt on the ground, adding wine to the emperor lightly. The fine red wine gurgled down from the slender mouth of the bottle, and the courtiers below frowned secretly when they saw it.
This is an open secret, the men in Murong's family are not mentally stable, especially when they are stimulated by sex. The emperor has been indulging in sensuality these years, his health is getting worse and worse, and his mental state is not in a good state. When the emperor was out of control, he did many ridiculous things, but the courtiers and eunuchs around him deliberately lured the emperor to drink and have fun in order to please the emperor.
Yin Yikun is especially the best among them. The emperor is absurd, and he deliberately found some novel ways to persuade the emperor to play. It was Yin Yikun's idea to put people blindfolded in cages of ferocious beasts, and let the maids take off their clothes and race. The emperor was addicted to wine and sex, unable to manage affairs, so he could take the opportunity to seize power.
Seeing that the emperor and Yin Yikun's remarks became more and more loose, the other courtiers lowered their heads and dared not speak out, but a few honest old courtiers really couldn't stand it. An old minister stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Medical Office said that your head is getting worse day by day, you should avoid alcohol and sex, please take good care of your body."
The smile on the emperor's face faded, Yin Yikun squinted at the old minister, and sneered: "Xu Shilang is old, not only his eyes are bad, but he can't even speak, the emperor is so happy, want you to come out to spoil the fun? Besides, the emperor is in very good health, and it is not a problem to guard the five daughters at night, your eye sees that the emperor needs to take care of the dragon body?"
Xu Shilang rolled his eyes angrily when he heard this, and almost fainted: "It's so useless, how can you say such vulgar words in the court?"
"Why is it vulgar?" Yin Yikun looked at Xu Shilang maliciously, and said, "Xu Shilang is no longer able to do it, so he just calls everything he can't hear as vulgar?"
Yin Yikun's henchmen laughed maliciously, and even the emperor laughed. Xu Shilang asked himself that he had been working for the country all his life, when had he ever been insulted like this? His face was flushed with anger, pointing at Yin Yikun, tremblingly said: "You, you shameless bastard!"
Yin Yikun couldn't hear others saying that he was not good at all. A dark light flashed in his eyes, he stared at Xu Shilang like a snake for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Xu Shilang reacted so strongly, could it be that the rumors are false? Why don't Xu Shilang tell me?" Let's show it, let us see if it works. Come and undress Xu Shilang."
"You are presumptuous!" Xu Shilang's sons and nephews couldn't bear it any longer, they all stood up and cursed angrily. The emperor had been watching this scene with great interest, but when he heard the Xu family's nephews yelling at the treacherous villain, the country's generals will fail, and his face completely sank. The emperor sneered, and said, "What is wrong with the Lord and disaster to the country? I think you are the biggest disaster! Come, take your sword!"
