How are they going to deal with her?
Frame her?
Poison her?
Suppress her?
These are all methods that often appear in TV dramas. Not knowing how Concubine Liang and her friends are going to deal with her, the usually lazy Liao Qingqing couldn't help but get nervous, but she didn't know what Concubine Liang would do next. She
had to act cautiously.
Right now, she just listened to Concubine Liang's story with a smile on her face.
After the greeting ceremony, Liao Qingqing took He Xiang out of Linhua Palace.
She wanted to wait for Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang to ask a few questions.
But Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang didn't come out for a long time.
It was obvious that they were talking about something with Concubine Liang.
She didn't wait any longer, and took He Xiang back to Lisheng Pavilion to tidy up her small vegetable garden, picked some vegetables and sent them to Yu's kitchen.
Add a small green vegetable for lunch.
Looking at the tender green green vegetable, Liao Qingqing felt very accomplished. At this time, Emperor Jingli rushed over from Zhengqian Palace.
She quickly pulled Emperor Jingli and said, "Your Majesty, look, these are the vegetables I planted."
Emperor Jingli picked one up and admired it, saying, "It really looks like vegetables."
"It is actually vegetables."
"My beloved concubine has great skills!"
Emperor Jingli's compliment was perfunctory, but Liao Qingqing was still very happy. She ate the whole plate of vegetables by herself, put down her chopsticks and talked to Emperor Jingli about today's greeting ceremony, saying, "The embroidered Buddhist scripture characters of blessing for other concubines have also been completed."
"Yes." Emperor Jingli nodded and said, "They will be sent to the Empress Dowager in the villa on the Double Ninth Festival."
"Is Your Majesty going to the villa too?"
"I'm not going to the villa, I'm going to Wansui Mountain."
"Wansui Mountain?"
"Yes, you'll go too then."
"Me too?" Liao Qingqing asked.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Climb the mountain, go up high, and see the scenery."
"Have you left the palace?"
"Yes." Emperor Jingli nodded and asked, "Are you willing to go?" "
Yes." Liao Qingqing nodded. She had been staying in the palace since she came here, but she didn't know what the palace guards looked like, and she really wanted to see it.
"Then get ready and set off early on the Double Ninth Festival."
"Your Majesty, who else will go to Wansui Mountain?" "
Some of my ministers." "What about the harem
?"
"Let Concubine Liang arrange this."
"Oh."
Liao Qingqing responded. For some reason, she always felt that Concubine Liang would bring Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang.
Sure enough!
On the Double Ninth Festival, Liao Qingqing saw Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang among the few concubines in the harem.
With Concubine Liang as their backer, Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang did not take Liao Qingqing seriously at all, and their chins were raised higher than before.
Liao Qingqing did not take them seriously at all.
It was just climbing a mountain.
She and Concubine Liang got on the emperor's sedan chair, not caring about what the remaining concubines would do.
"Your Highness." Liao Qingqing and Concubine Liang saluted Emperor Jingli.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Liao Qingqing and Concubine Liang sat on the right and left sides of Emperor Jingli. The sedan chair was quiet. Liao Qingqing really didn't expect that going to Wansui Mountain would be like this. She originally thought that she could sit in a small sedan chair, then lift the curtain and look at the autumn scenery outside the window.
It must be super beautiful if it is pure and natural.
But she didn't dare to do so, with both Emperor Jingli and Concubine Liang in front of her. She felt itchy inside. She glanced at Emperor Jingli who was sitting upright, and then at Concubine Liang who was dignified and proper. She didn't dare to act rashly.
With her legs tightly closed and her body straight, she sat upright like Concubine Liang. She
was really a copy of Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang looked at her and felt unhappy.
Emperor Jingli wanted to laugh, so he coughed lightly and said, "Concubine Xi."
Liao Qingqing quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Let's see if we have left the palace?"
"Yes." "
Liao Qingqing responded, suppressing her inner joy, she opened the curtain, and the first thing she saw was the blue and gentle sky.
The sky was so beautiful!
Under the sky were green and yellow trees and grasslands, with a few farmhouses occasionally, making it look even more spacious and comfortable. She was in a good mood and really wanted to shout, but she did not forget her identity.
Suppressing her inner joy, she lowered the curtain, turned around and said seriously: "Your Majesty, we have already left the palace."
"Oh, really? What's outside?" Emperor Jingli asked.
"There are trees, grass, and blue sky." Liao Qingqing replied.
"Answer me while you look."
"Yes. "
Liao Qingqing opened the curtain again, deliberately opening it wide, and a breeze blew in slowly. She controlled her emotions and said, "Your Majesty, look, this is what autumn weather is like. There are a few clouds lying in the blue sky."
"Lying?" Emperor Jingli asked.
"Isn't it lying?"
"Yes, yes, go on. "Emperor Jingli said with a smile on his face.
Liao Qingqing continued to speak.
Emperor Jingli occasionally interjected a few words and asked Concubine Liang for her opinion. Concubine Liang was a strict person and did not like the way Liao Qingqing and Emperor Jingli were sitting in a car without a car. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she did not dare to say it. She could only listen to Emperor Jingli and Liao Qingqing's "nonsense".
She wanted to kick Liao Qingqing out.
After enduring for a long time, they finally arrived at the foot of Wansui Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, in addition to the carriages of some ministers, there were soldiers who had already stood in advance, all to protect Emperor Jingli.
They all saluted Emperor Jingli in unison.
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing: "???"
"Let's go." Emperor Jingli said.
Liao Qingqing followed Concubine Liang to the top of Wansui Mountain. She thought she would follow Emperor Jingli to the top of Wansui Mountain. Unexpectedly, after climbing only one-third of the way, Emperor Jingli stopped and said, "Concubine Liang, according to the regulations, you can stop here. It should be the same this time."
Concubine Liang replied, "Yes."
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing and said, "I want to climb to the highest point. You can burn incense and have fun here."
"Yes."
"Don't forget what I said."
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"You are my favorite concubine." Emperor Jingli whispered.
"..."
"I'm leaving."
Emperor Jingli continued to climb up with a group of guards.
If Emperor Jingli hadn't said that he had been poisoned, Liao Qingqing really couldn't tell at all. Look, the emperor even climbs mountains in a handsome way! Liao Qingqing's eyes moved from the tall figure of Emperor Jingli to Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang still had a gentle but dignified look and said, "The emperor has his own big things to do, and we have our own little things to do. Let's go."
"Yes." Several concubines responded.
Liao Qingqing looked carefully. This time, the people who came were Concubine Liang, Ye Zhaoyi, Wu Chongyi, and Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang. Including her, there were only six concubines, and they were surrounded by guards.
I heard that there were people patrolling the mountains not far away, so it was extremely safe.
Liao Qingqing followed Concubine Liang and walked forward.
Places without pollution are different. The air is fresh, and there are all kinds of birds singing. Occasionally, she can see a few birds flying by when she looks up. She has never seen any of them.
What a magical country.
She was amazed.
It was great to be out.
She looked around happily and came to Banshan Temple on the hillside of Wansui Mountain with Concubine Liang. The temple was small, but extremely exquisite. After Liao Qingqing and others burned incense, they came to the backyard of the temple.
There were several rows of chrysanthemums planted in the backyard, which was very elegant.
The abbot also specially prepared chrysanthemum wine, Chongyang cakes, dogwood sachets, etc. for these concubines.
Maybe it was because of the Double Ninth Festival, Concubine Liang was still reserved at first, but slowly her face showed joy.
After eating vegetarian dishes and Chongyang cakes together, Concubine Liang said to Liao Qingqing and others: "Today is a festival. The emperor must be on the top of the mountain enjoying a drink. You don't have to be restrained. There are many scenic spots nearby. You can go and take a look." As
soon as Concubine Liang finished speaking,
no one dared to move.
Liao Qingqing didn't dare to move either.
Concubine Liang had no choice but to say: "Since you don't want to go, then I will go."
Concubine Liang led the palace maids out of the backyard of Banshan Temple first.
Ye Zhaoyi followed him out.
Then Wu Chongyi also left.
Then Concubine Liao and Concubine Jiang also left.
When Liao Qingqing was about to go out, Concubine Liao suddenly turned around and looked at Liao Qingqing, as if he had done something bad, and hurriedly retracted his gaze.
? ? ?
Liao Qingqing stopped walking immediately.
He Xiang asked in surprise: "Master, what's wrong?"
"I feel a little panicked." Liao Qingqing said.
"Flustered?" He Xiang asked quickly: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Liao Qingqing said.
"Then you are..." He Xiang's face was full of worry.
"I'm fine." Liao Qingqing frowned slightly and said: "I just feel that something is going to happen." He
Xiang asked: "What is it?"
Liao Qingqing looked at He Xiang with worry.
He Xiang looked puzzled: "I don't understand."
Liao Qingqing thought for a while and said: "He Xiang, let's not go out, just stay here, anyway, we can see the mountains and rivers here."
"I listen to you, Master." He Xiang nodded and said: "Master, whatever you want to do, I will accompany you."
Liao Qingqing smiled and nodded.
Neither she nor the original owner had any friends in this harem. The only thing that comforted them was that He Xiang had always been loyal to her.
This was already very good.
Then Liao Qingqing stayed with He Xiang in the backyard of Banshan Temple.
Although her palace fighting skills could not compare with Emperor Jingli, she was not stupid. With such a good opportunity now, Concubine Liang, Concubine Liao, and Concubine Jiang would be sorry for themselves if they didn't do something bad to her.
What bad things would they do?
Liao Qingqing really couldn't guess.
Then she would be quiet and take action.
Let's see what these three people are going to do!
She sat leisurely in the backyard eating Chongyang cakes and drinking chrysanthemum tea. During this time, monks from Banshan Temple came to serve her tea and cakes. There was nothing unusual.
This made her a little puzzled.
Is she overthinking?
No,
she would rather overthink than get into trouble.
Her life is at stake!
She resisted the urge to see the scenery of Wansui Mountain, looked around in the backyard, and saw the open back door.
At a glance, she could see the overlapping mountains outside the yard .
The mountains were undulating, shrouded in clouds and mist, and birds were singing from time to time.
It was like a fairyland on earth.
"Master, it's so beautiful here!" He Xiang sighed.
Liao Qingqing reached out and grabbed He Xiang's arm and said, "Be careful, there is a ravine below, and breaking your legs is the least of your worries if you fall down."
He Xiang felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile, "Well, Master, you should be careful too."
Liao Qingqing nodded and looked into the distance. If there were no soldiers patrolling back and forth, it would really feel like a paradise.
She closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air.
Suddenly she smelled a smell of smoke. She opened her eyes and asked, "What's that smell?"
He Xiang asked back, "What what smell?"
"Don't you smell it?" Liao Qingqing asked.
He Xiang sniffed carefully.
Liao Qingqing looked around and saw irregular smoke coming out of the houses next to her. She immediately asked He Xiang, "What's going on there?"
"Master, that's cooking smoke."
Cooking smoke?
Liao Qingqing stared at the thick cooking smoke.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a tall figure walking towards her.
It was Xie Xian!
It was actually Xie Xian!
Her heart tightened, and she quickly asked He Xiang: "Is the kitchen here?"
He Xiang nodded: "It's right here."
"It's so smokey, right? Is it noon? Are you going to cook?"
"Yes, the emperor should have walked this way in a while."
"The emperor walked this way?"
"He should have." He Xiang replied: "Master, you forgot that the emperor will have lunch here at noon."
"Oh no." Liao Qingqing suddenly said.
He Xiang's face froze: "What's wrong?"
"General Xie came to inspect."
"General Xie would inspect."
"He's different!"
Liao Qingqing finished speaking and wanted to go to the backyard. She looked up and found that the door leading to the front yard was closed, as if someone had locked it from outside.
She entered the backyard now, and Xie Jian came over to ask her about safety issues. If she happened to be caught by Liao Guiren and others, then... Then she heard the voices of concubines talking in the front yard.
Oh no!
She suddenly understood the intentions of Concubine Liang, Concubine Liao, and Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Liang must have learned about her past from Liao and Jiang!
Whether it was the original owner or her after entering the harem, their behavior was impeccable.
The only thing that can be criticized is that she had a blind date with Xie Jian.
However, the blind date took place before the beauty pageant.
This matter was nothing in the Wei Dynasty.
After all, in order to increase the population, Emperor Gaozu and the previous emperor had always encouraged widows to remarry, and they also married more than one widow.
The "blind date" could not hurt Liao Qingqing.
Emperor Jingli wouldn't care.
But if she had a "secret meeting" with the man she had a blind date with... that would be infidelity!
Infidelity to Emperor Jingli!
A dead end!
A fatal move!
Concubine Liang's move was too cruel!
Liao Qingqing panicked.
What to do, what to do?
Go back to the backyard?
No! If
she went back to the backyard, Xie Jian would definitely think that Concubine Liang and others were also in the backyard, and he would follow them in and ask about their safety.
But she found that she was the only concubine here.
The other concubines who came back just happened to see the two of them "alone", this is a "secret meeting"!
Stand here and don't move?
No way!
Seeing Xie Jian walking straight towards here, and about to meet her, in the eyes of Concubine Liao and others, what is the difference between this scene and a "secret meeting"? They will definitely splash dirty water on her and Xie Xian as much as possible.
At that time, Concubine Liang will definitely assist.
Even if Emperor Jingli believes them this time, what about in the future?
This matter will definitely be a hidden mine in her and Xie Xian's future life.
It may explode one day.
No, she will not give Concubine Liao and the others a chance!
A sense of courage arose in her heart. She
looked at the soldiers across the ravine.
The patrolling soldiers had just seen her.
She calculated the time and distance in her mind.
Fuck!
Let's fight!
She suddenly grabbed He Xiang's wrist.
He Xiang was startled: "Master."
"Master will compensate you later."
Liao Qingqing said, turned around and jumped into the ravine.
He Xiang fell down, and the unexpected change made her scream.
This scream startled all the soldiers patrolling the mountain. They all
looked over here at the same time.
Noble Liao Jiang, who had just walked into the backyard, heard the scream.
He was stunned at first, and then he was delighted.
It's done?
It's done?
It should be done!
Maybe the emperor came back from the top of the mountain and happened to see Liao Qingqing and Xie Jian's affair, which caused Liao Qingqing to scream in fear.
What a good thing!
Noble Liao thought about it and was very excited.
He said, "What's the sound? Let's go and have a look." He couldn't wait to untie the rope on the gate, pushed open the gate, and walked quickly towards the backyard door.
He saw a circle of people in the backyard.
He also saw Xie Jian with an ugly face among them.
She was overjoyed.
Looks like it's done.
She and Jiang Guiren looked at each other, then smiled smugly. At this moment, they heard an anxious voice: "Qingqing! Qingqing!"
Is it the emperor's voice?
But the emperor's voice...
why is it different from what they imagined?
The author has something to say: -
Qingqing: I have a feeling that something is not good!
Meat author: I saw that there were no comments on the previous chapter, and I immediately got stuck!
Qingqing: ...
