Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Queen Is Pregnant
His Majesty went to Ronghua Palace, and the harem breathed a sigh of relief, does this mean that the matter of the eldest princess is over.
As a result, within two days, His Majesty drove all the people from the internal catering department out of the palace, and said that they could not be reused in this life.
This is terrifying, especially the concubine who fed the eldest princess pastries at the banquet that day, has not been pursued by His Majesty, and she is worried that she is sick, even if she is sick, she does not dare to ask the imperial doctor, so she only asked the palace maid to go to the hospital to tell her symptoms, and then take two medicines back and fry them by herself.
But His Majesty didn't move again.
The eldest princess was finally completely healed, the flesh that fell off her face grew back a little, and the mood of the entire Wanchun Palace also rejuvenated, Concubine Xian went to prepare things, "Let's go to Ronghua Palace today." ”
"Wouldn't it be good for Niangniang to go to Ronghua Palace before she went to Ditai Palace?" asked the maidservant.
"Today's time has passed, and I will go to Ditai Palace tomorrow to ask for peace, presumably the queen will not care about this. Concubine Xian said. "Hurry up and prepare, when Your Majesty goes to court, it will be inconvenient to pass. ”
Qin Yunyi was also strange when she heard that Concubine Ying was coming, "What is she doing here?"
However, she was still led to the back of the Cloud Pavilion, and she changed into her clothes to welcome guests.
After the eldest princess saw the ceremony, she let people go downstairs to the garden to play, the second floor was open and empty, looking in all directions, and retreating the palace maid, it was a good place to whisper, Concubine Xian smiled at Qin Yunyi and said, "It seems that you have long been prepared for me to go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything." ”
Qin Yunyi smiled, "I thought about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing worthy of your coming to thank you, and we are not in a relationship where we can visit the door without nothing." ”
"You're so direct. Concubine Xian smiled, she looked at Qin Yunyi, thinking of the first time she saw her, that is, she was not as bright and moving as she is now, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of history.
"At the beginning, why didn't you tell the prince that I went to find you and said something before forcing you to seek death?"
Qin Yunyi was slightly stunned, "How long has this been, why do you still ask?"
"Actually, I should be the one who understands your predicament the most, we are all from famous families, we are the favored daughters of the family, and we have been educated by the master mother since childhood, but we have all become other people's concubines by mistake. Concubine Xian talked about others. "This arrogant gap can't be dismissed in a few words. ”
"Before marrying into the Seven Kings' Mansion, I was full of misery, even if he was a nobleman, how rare was I. ”
"But after arriving at the Seven Princes' Mansion, the prince was young and handsome, gentle and petty, and accompanied him every day, and before I knew it, I fell into it, thinking that maybe this was the fate of God, and I was destined to become his side concubine. ”
"So after you arrived at the Seven Princes' Mansion, the prince I can see every day can't be seen at once, gentle and petty, it seems to be just a dream of mine, the prince's mind is all occupied by you, so I'm jealous, I hate you like crazy. So she pretended to invite her out to enjoy the flowers, but she said something with a gun and a stick on the table, and she herself felt terrible when she thought about it later, how could she say such excessive things to a person who had just experienced the destruction of his family.
Concubine Xian's expression was complicated, "Whether you believe it or not, after seeing you jump into the pond that day, I have been upset and have not been able to sleep peacefully, especially when I found out later that I was pregnant with the eldest princess, I was even more afraid, I was afraid that I would do evil, and it would be fed back to my child, I devoted myself to worshipping the Buddha every day, and I only hoped that there would be retribution on me." ”
"You really don't have to think so. Qin Yunyi shook his head with a smile, "I was looking for death by myself that day, and it has nothing to do with what you said, even if you call me out and don't say anything, I will still jump when I see the pond." "She was brought back by the Seventh Prince at that time, and she had already saved her will to die, but the prince watched it closely, and any path to death was blocked for her, and suddenly someone asked her out, looking at the puddle of water in the garden, she had already jumped in, and she was a hundred.
It's just that she's stupid, she forgets that she knows water.
originally thought that if she had a will to die, she just had to jump in, but the water flooded the top of her head, the boundless cold and darkness, and the oppressed chest made her subconsciously hold her breath, and she involuntarily stroked her limbs, and her body still wanted to live.
"And the prince lost his temper with you that day, I am afraid that this is the beginning of the suspicion in your heart and Your Majesty. ”
"The prince's face that day was terrible. Concubine Xian said, "To be honest, if I had a nightmare, I must have dreamed of the prince of that day." ”
"Thanks to his fright, I woke up from my false love. Concubine Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty treats me affectionately because my father and the family behind me, in his heart, never loved me." ”
"If he doesn't love me, why should I beg for his love? Concubine Xian said, "I have an eldest princess, I have a family to sit on, I don't ask for anything, I don't fight for anything, I just hope to be able to spend this life in peace." ”
"But the accident of the eldest princess this time made me wake up, I don't ask, I don't fight, others won't let me go, I don't hold the sword in my own hands, I just give others the opportunity to hurt me. ”
Qin Yunyi looked at her, the backyard of the palace could still be said to be able to create the illusion of calm, but when she arrived at the harem, she couldn't even maintain this illusion. She was not surprised that Concubine Xian would make such a change, a mother is enough to transform the arrogance of a noble girl.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "So you came to me today to tell me that you are ready to compete with me for favor?"
"Nope. Concubine Xian shook her head, "I don't fight with you, and I fight with you if you don't win." ”
"Moreover, you should be like me, even if you have a sharp weapon in your hand, it is only for self-protection, not to hurt others. ”
Concubine Xian also felt ridiculous after speaking, "At the beginning, I also told you that I would never fight with you in the palace, and I also said that I would never fight with others again, but now I feel that my face is hot and I go back on my word." ”
"I'm here to tell you that I'll never be your enemy. Concubine Xian said solemnly. "It doesn't matter what I'll be like in the palace after that. ”
"You have a heart. Qin Yunyi said, "Actually, no matter what you do, as long as you don't commit a crime on my head, you will naturally be fine." ”
Concubine Xian sat on Dengyun Pavilion for a long time, until someone came to report that His Majesty was already on the way over, she got up and said goodbye, Qin Yunyi asked people to give her, naturally it was still a gift with a large bag.
Qi Zongwen came in, "Did you just walk in the steps of Concubine Xian?"
"Hmm. Qin Yunyi said. "The eldest princess is very well, because I often ask people to ask when she is sick, so she brings the eldest princess over to thank the concubine. ”
"It seems great to be able to come out and walk around. Qi Zongwen said, "I can finally rest assured." ”
"It's almost November since the beginning of October, and it's going to snow on a cold day. Qin Yunyi said.
"I can't accompany you to Tangquan Mountain this year, but I will definitely go next year. Qi Zongwen took her hand and reassured.
"Your Majesty said me as if he was only thinking about going out and playing. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "As long as you accompany Your Majesty, it will be the same everywhere." ”
On the first day of November, Qi Zongwen accompanied Qin Yunyi to see the first snow of the year, wrapped her in his thick thickness, and watched the snowflakes fall between heaven and earth.
At night, he let her lean on his arm, and the two of them quietly listened to the sound of falling snow outside the house.
"Tomorrow it must be very thick snow. Qin Yunyi muttered.
"The snow is the most frozen, and you won't be allowed to go out tomorrow. Qi Zongwen said, "If the stove is burning, you will comfortably lean on the stove." ”
"Hmm. Qin Yunyi got closer to him, she knew that the snub to the queen and the harem was over.
The next day, Qi Zongwen went to Ditai Palace, the queen saw him coming, suppressed her excitement and asked for peace, Qi Zongwen saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and she was a little unbearable, and she was angry with the people around the queen, "How do you take care of the queen, why has the queen lost so much?"
"Don't blame them, it's the concubines who can't eat. The queen said, "Others have a bitter summer, but the concubines have a bitter winter, and they don't want to eat when the weather is cold." ”
"Let the dining room make it hot, and it will be warm after eating. Qi Zongwen said. "The matter of the eldest princess is also a reminder to you, you are the master of the harem, and you have to be careful about everything, and you must not be negligent. ”
"Your Majesty admonished. Hearing this, the queen got up and knelt down, "During this time, the concubines are often introspective, if they had asked more questions at the beginning, the eldest princess would not have had this calamity." ”
"Get up. Qi Zongwen said, "I don't mean to blame you. ”
I can't blame it, but there is some disappointment, when he was about to use General Shen, the queen let Concubine Ying out of such a big basket in the harem, which made him feel a little frustrated that the queen and him were not the same heart.
The harmony between the emperor and the queen in the Ditai Palace has not been seen for a long time, and the Ditai Palace is jubilant, and it is even more jubilant after that.
The queen was sick to her stomach and was diagnosed as two months pregnant.
Qi Zongwen was naturally overjoyed, and only after rewarding him did he say to the queen, "Why are you so careless, and you don't ask the imperial doctor to see if you are not feeling well, if you hurt the emperor, I will see how you regret it." ”
"The concubine is also afraid. The queen covered her stomach and smiled happily, "It's just that Your Majesty knows that she made an oolong last time, and the concubine really doesn't want to come again." ”
"In the future, you have to eat well and make up for what you haven't eaten during this time. Qi Zongwen said.
"The concubine obeys. The queen smiled and said, she saw that Qi Zongwen was in a good mood and said, "Your Majesty, at the banquet of the eldest princess that day, several younger sisters fed the eldest princess and ate fairy bean cake, although His Majesty did not punish them, but they blamed themselves and worried, and they were all sick." ”
Qi Zongwen's smile faded for a moment.
The queen said, "Although they are responsible for this matter, they are really unaware, punishment, unfairness, no punishment, the virtuous concubine is uncomfortable, the concubine thinks that it is better for His Majesty to finish the punishment before the year, and wait until the New Year to pardon, it is also the best of both worlds." ”
"You have a point. Qi Zongwen said, "Then take down their flower cards, and order them to reflect in their own palace, and wait for the next year to re-apply the flower cards." ”
The flower card is the sign of the waiter, and removing the flower card is to make them unable to sleep during this time. In the harem, this is second only to the punishment of entering the cold palace, which is enough to make the back of the concubine's neck cold.
