Chapter Ninety-Three: Mercy

It was already the third snow, the snow was white outside, and the hall was as warm as spring, Qin Yunyi came out of the inner room, "Your gift this year is a little early." ”

Princess Shanshan got up and saluted, "I miss my mother." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Qin Yunyi said with a smile, "You miss me, and I can't help you turn the prince back." ”

King Shanwang was ordered by His Majesty to go to Jiangnan a month ago, and now he has not returned.

"The prince has already sent a letter, saying that he is celebrating the New Year in Jiangnan, and I don't care about him, he is in Jiangnan, and there are people who take care of him. Wu Xiaoxiang said with a smile.

"What is generous in front of me. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "The beautiful girls in Northern Xinjiang that Your Majesty gave to the princes before have all been accepted, and in your house, you are treating people as a serious maidservant." ”

"It's not my fault. Wu Xiaoxiang explained, "I asked her, and she said that she had a lover waiting for her in northern Xinjiang, and if she wanted to go back after a few years, then I couldn't marry a bad person." ”

"Besides, Your Majesty didn't say that it was for the prince to warm the bed, since it was to serve, how could it be served and not served. ”

"I ask, you have ten sentences waiting for me, and I don't care. Qin Yunyi said, "You can explain it to everyone who asked you this." ”

"I can't stop people's mouths, anyway, the prince doesn't blame me. Wu Xiaoxiang said, "Now that poor concubine is very hot, she always summons those northern Xinjiang women into the palace to talk to her, because of this relationship, in the backyard of the palace have become people who can speak, the princesses now have a headache, not light, although I say that I am jealous, in private I actually envy me, I did not invite a Buddha for nothing." ”

"If they want to use this ladder, they naturally can't take it lightly, if they can give up this relationship, they can't deal with it as they should deal with it. Qin Yunyi said that the concubine is Alyssa, a noble servant, and she was promoted to Jieyu on the second day, and Zhaoyi a month later, and she became a concubine in half a month.

The speed of promotion is the first in the harem.

Although His Majesty did not reduce the number of times he came to Ronghua Palace, but when he really calculated it, he still had more time to sleep with concubines, except for Qin Yunyi, he regarded concubines as his fierce rivals.

"Your Majesty said that she misses her hometown, so she asked someone to accompany her, but the dream concubines in the palace, Shi Zhaoyi and Xian Zhaoyi, aren't they all from Northern Xinjiang, and the little daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she doesn't call these people, she only calls those show girls who are sent to various mansions to accompany her, I look at her and I'm afraid she has big ambitions. ”

Qin Yunyi smiled, "If it's not that she is so wise and close to a demon, then there is a master behind her." ”

"You think she didn't call Shi Zhaoyi, Xian Zhaoyi and them, otherwise how do you think her concubine came from?"

Wu Xiaoxiang's eyes immediately lit up, and he had an expression that wanted to listen to gossip.

"You, I'm afraid that the prince is not at home, and his bones are light, and you dare to come to the palace to ask me for news. Qin Yunyi said with a smile.

"Niang Niang pity me, there are few places to speak freely. Wu Xiaoxiang said, "I only went home a few times, and I was reprimanded by my grandfather, saying that I was squeamish." ”

"I went to the princesses' meetings a few times, and then found that I didn't understand what they were saying. Wu Xiaoxiang said, "Do you know? They said that those women from northern Xinjiang have a wide range of personal relationships, and they have all socialized in the back house. ”

"This is the first time I've heard of this. Qin Yunyi said, "But they have no roots in the capital, and it is understandable that they want to establish their own relationship while they are in the limelight now." ”

"After all, they have to spend the rest of their lives in this foundationless capital, and they have to work harder than you and me. ”

"Niangniang is not worried at all?" Wu Xiaoxiang asked.

"What are you worried about?" Qin Yunyi said, "If you are worried about the union of the women of Northern Xinjiang, that is what the queen should worry about." ”

"It's me who has taken the picture. Wu Xiaoxiang smiled and said, "I'm not worried about the prince's intentions, why should the mother be worried?"

"But the queen doesn't have the heart to care about things outside the palace now, her heart is now on Concubine Yao's son, and the outside of the palace is now guessing, will the six princes be adopted by the queen?"

"There was also a gambling session. ”

"Really?" Qin Yunyi asked with a smile, "Then I have to participate, you take a hundred taels of silver, bet for me, just bet, no." ”

"Niangniang, you bet without asking the odds?" asked Wu Xiaoxiang. "First of all, there are a lot of gambling clubs now. ”

"A small bet is pleasant. Qin Yunyi smiled.

Princess Shan spent lunch with the concubine in Ronghua Palace before leaving, and after Qin Yunyi took a short rest, Miao An said, "Niangniang, the concubine has come to Ronghua Palace to see her again." ”

"Nope. Qin Yunyi looked at her strangely, "You replied to her directly, why did you come to report me?"

"But mother. Miao An wanted to speak and stopped, "The concubine comes to Ronghua Palace every day to ask to see her mother, isn't it bad if you don't see your mother?"

"Isn't she just going to be like this? She has the heart to show favor to the concubine, but the concubine is rebellious and looks down on her, so that she can continue to sell pity in front of His Majesty. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "I'm fulfilling her." ”

". ”

"Don't persuade me, I won't see her this year, let's talk about next year after the New Year. Qin Yunyi said.

In the Ditai Palace, the queen hugged the prince in her arms and said, "Look at our six princes, how good they are." ”

"Niangniang praised it, the six princes are not as good as the other princes, even if they are their own sons, the concubines can't boast with their eyes closed. Concubine Yao sat down, it is said that she was also just out of confinement, but there was no plump on her body, but she was very thin, and now she smiled dryly at the words of the queen, and looked at the child in her arms, her son.

"It's still young. The queen said, "You too, the palace said that you miss the six princes, let people come over to take a look, you are so worried, you have to come over." ”

"Could it be that this palace will still harm the six princes?"

The concubine didn't think so. Concubine Yao said that she had a bitter tongue, and she didn't know why the queen took a fancy to her son, "The concubine has nothing to do in the palace, so she came out for a walk." ”

After Concubine Yao and the six princes left, Mama Cui served tea to the queen. "It is a supreme honor for Niangniang to raise the six princes, and Concubine Yao is like that, she still seems to be unwilling. ”

"Pregnant in October, if she really wants to show that she can't wait to give the six princes with both hands, the palace has to worry about it. The queen said, "The palace has made a plan, and I don't want to make a wedding dress for her." ”

"Actually, if the third prince is more suitable, if the second prince has an accident, the third prince is the eldest son, Concubine Lu's family is less useful than Concubine Yao's family, the elder brother of Concubine Yao's family is now the governor, and when the term of office expires, he will return to the capital, for the sake of the uncle of the sixth prince, maybe he can make a good mistake. ”

"Didn't you think of that?" said the Queen. "Now that the three princes are caught in the middle, if they can't go up or down, the palace will hug him, and Your Majesty will not be the same. ”

"But will Your Majesty agree to let Niang Niang raise the six princes?" Although Mama Cui had always suggested this idea, she actually didn't have a plan in her heart.

Your Majesty is a man of the right mind.

"Let's try it first. The queen said. "If it can't be done, where will it be so simple. ”

"Yes, yes, it's man-made. Cui Mama said, "Besides, there is a folk saying that a woman who has not been pregnant for a long time will give birth to her own son after raising a child, and Niangniang is close to the six princes, maybe soon, Niangniang will be able to conceive the prince, and there will be no business for them." ”

"Hopefully. ”

"Are you going to Ronghua Palace again today?" Qi Zongwen asked when he was sleeping with his concubine.

The concubine's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, can't the concubine go?"

"It's not that you can't go. Qi Zongwen saw her reaction and said, "It's just that since the concubine doesn't see you, you don't need to go every day, how cold is it outside on a snowy day?"

"Northern Xinjiang is much colder than the palace, and the concubines haven't felt cold when they enter the palace. Alyssa smiled sweetly and said, "It's the most beautiful when it snows, and the concubines go out to enjoy the snow." ”

"You. Qi Zongwen said. "The concubine has a lonely temperament, she doesn't know how to get along with people, so she always rejects people thousands of miles away, you don't go to your heart, she doesn't mean to target you. ”

"The concubine knows. The concubine said, she pulled Qi Zongwen's sleeve. "Actually, the concubine was originally worried that His Majesty would blame the concubine for being troublesome. ”

"The concubine just thought, there are sisters walking around everywhere in the harem, only Ronghua Palace is cold, the concubine is cold on the one hand, on the other hand, the other concubines are too lazy to move, if you go a few more times, maybe the concubine will see it, see it once there will be twice, in the future, Ronghua Palace will no longer be deserted, wouldn't it be very good. ”

Qi Zongwen's expression was a little inexplicable, but he quickly covered it up, "Your heart is good." ”

Qin Yunyi is painting, and now her painting has made great progress, but His Majesty hasn't seen it for a long time, Concubine Jia sat on the side with a tea cup, "Last time I said that the plum blossoms in Shanglin Yuan are good, and the plum blossoms that Niangniang painted today." ”

"This painting was given to me, right?"

"This is your New Year's gift. Qin Yunyi said, "There is nothing left." ”

"There is this ink treasure of the mother, why do you need anything else. Concubine Jia said, after she put down the teacup, she looked at Qin Yunyi and suddenly sighed, "Niangniang is really soft-hearted, seeing that I have been cheeky for so long, I originally didn't plan to do it, but I didn't expect Niangniang to be really polished by me and draw a picture for me." ”

"Am I the first person to receive Niangniang's Mobao?"

"Didn't you just post it because you knew I was soft-hearted?" Qin Yunyi said with a smile.

"It's full of calculations, and those who can go in and out of Ronghua Palace and chat with Niangniang for a few words, except for me, that is, the good princess, Niangniang will not add more people in a short time. Concubine Jia asked with a smile.

"I don't have any idea of adding people in a short period of time, but if you think about it carefully, subtracting people can save a lot of things. Qin Yunyi said deliberately.

"Don't scare me. Concubine Jia smiled, "Then I can only knock on the door of Ronghua Palace in the name of the fifth prince." ”

"Don't bring the five princes to me in the future. Qin Yunyi said lightly, "The queen wants the six princes to go to Ditai Palace every day, speaking of which, it is said that the five princes can go to Ronghua Palace, why can't the six princes go to Ditai Palace?"

"If you want to do this again, the queen will call the five princes to the Ditai Palace, and let you go to the Ditai Palace to boil oil. ”

"I have only taken the five princes to Ronghua Palace a few times, and I can count them on my fingers, no more than I have been to other concubines' palaces. Concubine Jia said.

Cui Jieyu wanted to take the fourth prince to Ditai Palace, but the queen didn't let her go. ”

"Cui Jieyu is an aunt in the end. Qin Yunyi sighed, she thought of the words that His Majesty had made when Concubine Yao gave birth for the first time, and he said that in the palace, it was not easy for a prince who did not have a biological mother to grow up. So he wants to keep a healthy mother and not let one more poor child in the palace.

Qian Jieyu desperately gave birth to a child, entrusted to her own sister, the child's aunt, now look, Concubine Yao trembled in the possibility of her son being taken away by the queen, and Qian Jieyu can give the child, just for Bo a future.
