Text Chapter 1805: Abnormally Harsh

After arriving at the Heavenly Palace, the guards stopped outside the palace. Qingyuan Zun entered the palace alone. A palace maid had already been waiting at the door to welcome him in. The palace maid led him all the way to the Xijing Garden.

In a corner of the garden, the melodious music of the piano was heard. On the pavilion, Lord Qing was leaning on the railing with his hands behind his back. Shangguan Qing stood quietly beside him. There were no idle people around. The concubines and maids who had served him before had been screened away before Qing Yuanzun arrived. .

Lord Qing stood condescendingly, his slender eyes looking down at the woman playing the piano below. She was dressed in pink and charming. While the latter's slender fingers were moving in rhythm, she looked up from time to time with affection.

"She plays the piano well." Qingzhu commented lightly.

Shangguan Qing on the side smiled and said: "The Qin Concubine's piano skills are unmatched by anyone in the harem."

If the concubine below who plays the piano knew that Shangguan Qing praised her like this, she would probably be overwhelmed with gratitude. You should know that the words of the chief steward in front of His Majesty are often more attractive to His Majesty than your countless flirtations.

"Concubine Qin?" Lord Qing thought for a moment, but he couldn't remember any of his concubines with this name. He just wanted to hear Qin for a moment and asked Shangguan Qing to recruit someone. Now look at this woman's appearance and piano skills. Unusual. "Is the surname Qin my birth name?"

Shangguan Qing replied: "No, I changed it before entering the palace, probably in the hope of attracting His Majesty's attention."

Qingzhu stared down, "Is it true that no one in the harem can surpass him in piano skills?"

Shangguan Qing bowed slightly and said, "It's true. Some talents can't be achieved by hard work. Concubine Qin does have talents in this area. I'm afraid that's why she entered the palace."

Qingzhu looked back and said, "How much benefit have you received from others? You actually help me talk like this."

Shangguan Qing was a little embarrassed. He had indeed accepted the favor, otherwise he would not have ordered Concubine Qin to play the piano, let alone speak for her. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I did give this old slave some rare things."

Master Qing glanced sideways at him, then cast his eyes on the woman below, "Which family paid tribute?"

Shangguan Qing replied: "Those who pay tribute from the Ying family have been in the palace for some years."

Qingzhu stared at the woman's appearance, his eyes especially turned on the plump white on the woman's chest, and then fixed on her extremely graceful rising and falling fingers. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes and listened for a while. The elegant sound of the piano finally said slowly: "Since I owe you a favor as the chief manager, I will go to Concubine Qin to sleep with me tonight."

This is the advantage of having people around the Emperor of Heaven to help talk. There are countless beauties in the harem, and not everyone has the opportunity to get wet and dew. Shangguan Qing made such a recommendation, and things happened. She is really ten thousand times better than Concubine Qin's own efforts.

"Yes!" Shangguan Qing nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, Master Qing said lightly, "What kind of rare thing did you give me?"

Shangguan Qing bowed slightly and said: "It has been placed in the cabinet of Xingchen Palace." There were many people who gave him things, but he did not dare to keep them for himself. own.

Master Qing glanced sideways at the figure of Qing Yuanzun who appeared at the turn of the covered bridge in the distance. He tilted his head to signal. Shangguan Qing immediately stretched out his head and sent a message to Concubine Qin who was playing the piano below, signaling her to go back and make preparations. Your Majesty, tonight Ask her to sleep with you.

The melody in Concubine Qin's hand stopped, and she stood up and bowed upward to leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to leave a grateful look for Shangguan Qing. The remaining guqin was also taken away by the accompanying palace maids.

"Father!" Qing Yuanzun arrived and saluted, then nodded slightly to Shangguan Qing, which was considered a sign of goodwill.

Even he dare not offend these confidants around his father. People who can see and talk to his father at any time are really not people he can offend. Maybe one or two words can change him at the critical moment. Destiny is no joke, the consequences are serious. So even if it was Po Jun whom Xia Hou Chengyu hated the most, Xia Hou Chengyu also told his son to show his kindness. She could break up with Po Jun, but his son couldn't do this.

Money is needed to maintain relationships, and there is always money in the palace. Master Qing has his own way of disciplining his son, and will not condone his son's lavish spending. The people below do not dare to get too close to Qing Yuanzun, for fear of what Master Qing may think. . In his early years, Xia Hou Chengyu was not short of money because he had little place to spend money. But after having this son, he had more places to spend money for his son's future. Of course, Xiahou Chengyu can definitely ask the Xiahou family, and the Xiahou family certainly does not lack her expenses, but after all, it is a little bit... for the majestic queen to ask for money from the family, and it is easier to lose confidence. Fortunately, after helping Miao Yi, Miao Yi really He did not disappoint her, and his regular filial piety was very generous, giving her strong financial support. Therefore, Xiahou Chengyu liked Yun Zhiqiu very much. He had no choice but to give Yun Zhiqiu money every time he came back. How could he not like it?

Of course, Xiahou Chengyu reciprocated the favor. Some people took advantage of the fact that the Netherworld army was guarding Youquan to make a fortune, and suggested that it be banned or the taxes and fees collected be put into custody. As soon as Miao Yi heard the news from Pang Guanna, he immediately informed Xiahou Chengyu and Xiahou Chengyu immediately showed no shame and took their sons to go to Qingzhu, saying that someone bullied their mother and son. On the surface, they went to Niu Youde, but in fact they came to them and asked for Qingzhu. The master made the decision. Seeing that his son had a sullen face and said nothing, Qingzhu suppressed the matter of Youquan and let it go.

"Your Highness!" Shangguan Qing bowed respectfully.

Qingzhu turned around from the railing, walked to the seat and sat down. He looked at his son up and down. Although this son was indeed affected by the strong bloodline of the Xiahou family, he was not good-looking, but he was not ugly either. There are some similarities, and Xiahou Chengyu really put a lot of thought into the discipline of his son. Regardless of his nature, at least he is still very decent in words, deeds, and demeanor, which makes him very happy.

After waving his hands and indicating Qing Yuanzun to sit down on the stool at the bottom, Fang smiled lightly and said, "How was Xiahou Tuo's funeral?"

Qing Yuan Zun: "Of course it's beautiful scenery, but the queen seems to have been a little touched this time, and she is indeed a little saddened by the scene."

Qingzhu nodded, "After all, your mother grew up in Xiahou's family. Xiahou Tuo is the backbone of the Xiahou family, and he cares a lot about your mother. It's inevitable to be sentimental. As a son, I'll comfort you more later. Mother."

Maybe Qingzhu himself didn't realize that after having this son, Qingzhu's attitude towards Xiahou Chengyu has changed unknowingly. Maybe there is still no love, but there is indeed something more between them that was not there before. The family affection is more or less there.

Others may not be able to see this, but as a close minister, Shangguan Qing can see it most clearly.

Qing Yuanzun, who was sitting upright, nodded silently.

Qingzhu suddenly chuckled again and said, "I heard that you saw Niu Youde this time and even had a private conversation for a while."

Qing Yuanzun was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that his father even knew what happened in Xiahou's private residence. He had clearly avoided the guards at that time. He nodded and said: "Yes, the queen mother hopes that her son will learn more from Niu Youde."

"Oh!" Qingzhu asked with a smile: "Then what do you think of Niu Youde?"

Qing Yuan Zun: "I can't explain it yet, but I think it's a bit interesting."

"Is it interesting?" Qingzhu asked with interest, "What did you talk to him about?"

"We talked a lot..." Qing Yuanzun reported the conversation between himself and Miao Yi in detail, without hiding anything.

In fact, this was Yang Qing's strategy to ask Miao Yi to dedicate it to Xiahou Chengyu early. He asked Xiahou Chengyu to warn Master Qingyuan very early on not to hide anything from Master Qing, especially in the Tiangong area, where mother and son were alone. There is no cover for being weak, and there should be nothing that can be hidden from the eyes of Qingzhu. The consequences of deceiving Qingzhu are very serious. Once or twice may not matter, but more times will definitely make Qingzhu disgusted, so even if you do something wrong, directly It doesn't matter if you tell Qingzhu, as long as you don't deceive Qingzhu, Qingzhu will take care of it for you. To a certain extent, Xiahou Chengyu can deceive Lord Qing, but Lord Qing Yuan cannot do this.

Similarly, after seeing Miao Yi's bet with the officials at the birthday banquet, Xiahou Chengyu already regarded Miao Yi as a think tank. He would secretly contact Miao Yi for advice on anything, and Miao Yi also used Xiahou Chengyu to Yu had a clear idea of ​​what was going on inside the Tiangong. Miao Yi had already achieved the goal that other ministers had to offer their beauty to enter the palace.

After mastering the internal movements of Tiangong, Miao Yi once again lamented Yang Qing's cunningness. He had taken a fancy to Xiahou Chengyu's move very early, analyzed the relationship between Xiahou Chengyu, the Xiahou family and Qingzhu, and asked him to He took the opportunity to bite him, otherwise he would not dare to attack the Xiahou family and the people in the hands of Lord Qing. Now he has benefited a lot.

When Qing Yuanzun kept asking Niu Youde some unspeakable questions, Qingzhu couldn't help but pursed his lips and said, "Did he tell you the truth in the end?"

Qing Yuan Zun: "No, the evaluation I gave him face to face is that as long as it is a bad thing he has done, he will not admit it."

"Haha! You're right, the review is insightful." Master Qing laughed loudly, and Shangguan Qing on the side also laughed.

After Qing Yuanzun said what Miao Yi said about not being able to pee in the same pot as Lord Qing, Lord Qing suddenly stopped laughing and his face sank.

Shangguan Qing also shouted, "What an impudent guy!"

The father and son had a conversation, and after asking about his son's current situation, Lord Qing asked Qing Yuanzun to retreat, and then said to Shangguan Qing: "Summon Sima Wentian to see me!"

Shangguan Qing knew what he meant. He was trying to get some handle on the situation in the Netherworld Capital Mansion. Although he wouldn't do anything to Niu Youde, he probably wanted to give Niu Youde some color.

Not long after, Sima Wentian came upon the call.

After seeing the ceremony, Lord Qing didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Is there anything unusual in the Netherworld Capital Mansion recently?"

Sima Wentian quickly thought about the meaning of these words and glanced at Shangguan Qing. He didn't see the answer he wanted to know, so he could only report the truth: "There is nothing abnormal in general, but after receiving the report from the spy, Niu Youde said that he was in heaven I met the empress and His Highness at Weng Mansion, and Niu Youde said some treacherous words after he came back, but there is no evidence for this matter. Once the witness is found, the spies will be exposed. "

"What are you talking about?" Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say?"

Sima Wentian replied: "It is said that His Highness spoke a little mercilessly, but he told the people around him that they must be respectful when they see His Highness in the future. He said that he had no choice but to betray His Majesty, and it was difficult to trust him if he was loyal to His Majesty. He said that His Majesty was no longer worthy of him. Loyalty, saying that all the ministers in the past have not been his reliable escape route. He is now tied to Tianmu Palace. From now on, he can only be loyal to His Highness in the whole world. He has no other choice. This is what he said. of."

Master Qing's face darkened, and the words "Your Majesty is no longer worthy of his allegiance" were extremely harsh in his ears. (~^~)
