The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 23
Song Jinning looked back and forth between Li Chengxuan standing in front of her and Jiang Wanqiu kneeling on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the first time the male and female masters of the original book met, it would be such a scene.
But why is there no such thing as the legendary dry wood, raging fire, sky, thunder, fire, and fire splashing?
Li Chengxuan’s eyes were cold. Moreover, he didn’t even recognize Jiang Wanqiu at first sight, turned his head slightly, and looked at Song Jinning inquiringly.
Obviously waiting for her to tell who this woman is.
Song Jinning: …
You swear to protect your entire life, and you would rather abandon the Queen Mother and disperse the harem, regardless of the courtiers’ opposition to a peerless CP who is a double person for a lifetime! !
But the first time you saw her, she was so indifferent? Shouldn’t this sister show the shock and amazing expression I have seen before?
Song Jinning raised her hand to help her forehead. Then she told Li Chengxuan: “This is Princess Fu.”
As for the others, you can experience it yourself. Because this girl is not interested in being a matchmaker and matching people.
Li Chengxuan had heard of Princess Fu more than once, but it was indeed the first time he met.
Curious about the name of her talented woman, Li Chengxuan looked at her.
As a result, he frowned slightly after looking at it.
Not to mention the difference between men and women, as long as anyone bows down to him, who is not respectful, dare not even look at him directly. But this princess Fu was good, although she was kneeling, her back was straight, and her eyes were looking straight at him.
Li Chengxuan couldn’t discern the emotion in her eyes, but he didn’t bother to discern it either.
As an emperor, he didn’t like anyone looking at him with such straight eyes. Because in his opinion, this means disrespect to him.
However, Li Chengxuan didn’t care about Jiang Wanqiu as Princess Fu and his second wife after all. He just said faintly: “Flat body.”
As he said, he stopped talking, raised his foot and walked forward.
Song Jinning and Jiang Wanqiu were both surprised.
Song Jinning was surprised that, good fellow, when you first met Li Chengxuan, you dare to be so indifferent to your only true love in the future! Be careful in the future, after you are together, she will investigate today’s affairs and will directly let you wait on the washboard.
Jiang Wanqiu was surprised, what happened? Obviously, according to the herald dreams she made that night, Li Chengxuan should have fallen in love with her at first sight when he saw her. But why is he actually leaving with just a glance at her now. Not only did she have no feelings of nostalgia for her, but her attitude was extremely cold.
Jiang Wanqiu has often entered the palace since having that dream that night.
Obviously, he was entering the palace to serve the concubine Wei Wei, but the drunk man didn’t mean to drink, he actually wanted to see Li Chengxuan.
But as the emperor, Li Chengxuan had a large circle of servants and guards of the inner prison palace. How could she see him if she wanted to? Moreover, the traces of Li Chengxuan’s activities are definitely not something she can know, so in the past two months, she didn’t even have a chance to see Li Chengxuan from a distance.
Now that I finally came across here, Jiang Wanqiu’s heart was pounding with excitement.
So although she knelt down, her upper body was still straight, and her eyes were directed at Li Chengxuan, just wanting him to see her face clearly.
But the expected surprise and obsession is not, just coldness and alienation.
In the end, he raised his foot and was about to leave.
Where was Jiang Wanqiu willing to return without success, turning around and calling Li Chengxuan’s back: “Your Majesty.”
With a trembling voice, Li Chengxuan’s brows furrowed tighter with rush and eagerness.
After a pause, he still stopped, turned sideways slightly, and asked in a slightly impatient tone: “What’s the matter?”
Jiang Wanqiu was one of them.
What can she do? It’s nothing more than hoping that he can stop for her, catch her in his eyes, put her in his heart, and pull her into the quagmire.
Seeing that she did not answer, Li Chengxuan naturally stood there waiting impatiently. Immediately raised his foot decisively and walked forward.
Song Jinning still stood still and didn’t move. He looked at Li Chengxuan’s back and Jiang Wanqiu, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Again, she is not interested in being a matchmaker and connecting people.
But she didn’t have any idleness or disgusting taste that would destroy all the emotional entanglements between the two people.
In a word, she is just a passer-by, a spectator, and she just needs to live her life leisurely, and she can’t take that interest in other things.
As for why the two people met today, Song Jinning thought for a while and seemed to understand a little bit.
Because in the original book, she remembers that the two people met for the first time at the palace banquet of the Empress Dowager Song in the Qianqiu Festival.
At that time, Jiang Wanqiu appeared on the stage and gave a song, which surprised four people.
It is said that music is the voice of the heart, presumably Li Chengxuan is also very proficient in this, so he immediately heard Jiang Wanqiu’s depression and depression, and then began to pay attention to her.
With this attention, I found that the other side was Xiuwaihuihuizhong, but didn’t it fall quickly?
As for now, in terms of appearance alone, although Jiang Wanqiu is indeed beautiful and elegant, but to be honest, she is actually not as good as Wei Taifei. Otherwise, Princess Wei would not have been the favorite concubine of the first emperor for so many years.
And Li Chengxuan has grown up in the court since he was a child. What kind of beauties have not been seen? It is indeed a bit difficult for Jiang Wanqiu if he wants to be able to impress him only by his appearance.
But that’s okay. It will be the Empress Dowager’s Qianqiu Festival in a few months, so Princess Fu, you don’t have to look sad now, you will soon be able to take a step forward.
Song Jinning also raised her foot and walked forward. Walking out for a while, I was a little surprised to see Li Chengxuan standing not far in front with his hands on his back.
Beside him is the vermilion palace wall. On the top of the head is a plum branch that protrudes from the side yard, and green plums the size of pigeon eggs are formed between the leaves of the protactinium.
Song Jinning walked over, stopped by his side, folded her hands, and looked up at the plum tree.
She didn’t ask Li Chengxuan why he stopped here and didn’t leave. After all, he didn’t wait for her here specially. She admitted that although the relationship between the two of them had improved recently, it was not so good.
“The plums are ripe. You can make plum sauce or make plum wine.”
Li Chengxuan: …
How can this person think of eating anything when he sees it? Can’t you think of something constructive about life ideals and justice?
“When the plum sauce and plum wine are ready, your majesty will come over to eat and drink.”
“good.”
Li Chengxuan answered quickly. I was a little awkward and a little relieved thinking, huh, it’s not useless that I stood here dry waiting for you for so long.
The two continue to move forward.
Li Chengxuan didn’t mention what happened to Jiang Wanqiu just now, nor did Song Jinning say, as if there was no such episode at all.
After arriving at Weiyang Palace, Song Jinning changed into a homely dress under the service of Gu Yu and Han Lu.
Although Song Jinning is a person who is used to idleness and hates trouble, according to Gu Yu’s statement, you are now a queen empress anyway. It is enough to dress casually in your palace, but when you leave the palace, you must not carry some maternal rituals. Your deportment?
You ask me how to deal with this demeanor? Haven’t you heard a word? People rely on clothes, horses and saddles! You have to dress gorgeously so that people don’t dare to look at you when they see it, so that you can show your dignity and majesty.
Song Jinning: …
If she doesn’t agree, Gu Yu’s mouth can nag her to death. What else can I do? Had to listen.
However, when she returned to Weiyang Palace, she would immediately change into light home-style clothes.
As for the jewellery on the head, all the jewels on the head must also be taken off.
Watching from the bronze mirror, Gu Yu took off all the steps, bead flowers, hairpins and the like on her head one by one, then untied her tedious bun and took the peach wood comb to comb her hair. She immediately opened her mouth to stop Gu Yu’s next movement.
“Don’t pull up any hair buns, just spread them like this, it’s good.”
There was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night yesterday. After she was awakened, she was disturbed by the sound of rain outside the house and did not sleep well. She felt very sleepy when she woke up this morning.
It was easy to go to Queen Mother Song and order a Mao back. She will definitely have to rest for a while.
In that case, what kind of bun do you have? When lying down, she felt uncomfortable on the back of her head in a bun.
Gu Yu also wanted to persuade: “Manny, your majesty is here with us, you are like this…”
“Even if he is here, isn’t he watching Zou Shu between Dongshao? I don’t go there, just staying at Xiji, and I can’t meet him much at all. What are you afraid of?”
Song Jinning raised her hand to cover her lips, yawned a little, in a very indifferent tone, “Are you afraid that he will scold me for being rude because of my dissemination?”
Gu Yu thought to himself, that is the way your Majesty behaves in front of you on weekdays, so you are not afraid of him. She’s heard about it these days, and your Majesty was determined to kill him when he was in front of the court. It can be said that someone secretly gave his Majesty a nickname, what is called the King of Cold Face.
Song Jinning had already got up and went to Xicijian.
Asking Gu Yu to bring her a book, she leaned on the big pillow behind her, and looked at it for a while.
“Send someone to the small kitchen and say, I don’t have any appetite today, let them make some light dishes for dinner.”
Gu Yu agreed, turned around and went to the small kitchen to pass a message.
Song Jinning continued to look at the book in her hand one after another. Gradually, I felt that the words in front of me became more and more blurred, and when I finally tilted my body, I fell asleep.
Li Chengxuan was optimistic about the song, and when he got up and walked out of the East Branch, he met Gu Yu who had just returned from the small kitchen.
“Where is the queen?”
When Song Jinning was not seen everywhere, Li Chengxuan asked.
Gu Yu hurriedly bowed his knees and saluted, while repliing: “The mother is reading in the Xici room.”
Li Chengxuan has now accepted the fact that Song Jinning is likely to read the book, because the Dongsao room where he was just now is obviously Song Jinning’s study room.
There was a collection of books on the shelf. He looked through it and found that the categories were quite rich.
Knowing the whereabouts of Song Jinning, Li Chengxuan walked to the west without any hassle.
Nishijian did not use the Bisha Cabinet to separate it from Ming, but only used a floor-to-ceiling flower cover carved with grape vines.
However, there is a light purple veil hanging behind the flower cover. If the veil is put down, the people in Mingjian will not be able to see the scene in Xijijian.
Now these veils were not put down, but pulled up and pulled into the hooks, so Li Chengxuan walked directly into the West House.
As soon as I entered, I saw Song Jinning leaning on the backrest and falling asleep with his eyes closed, and the scroll he was holding on the couch.
Li Chengxuan was a little surprised.
There are two surprises.
One is that there is no one to wait for him in Xici, and the other is that this look of Song Jinning dozing off makes him feel a little cute.
