Chapter Twenty-Four: Broken Wings
Since Cheng Guifei sits, then I will sit even more, talk about tea, talk about needlework, talk about needlework, no matter what she says, I always smile and respond to a few words, and then chat will be dark.
I only spent the night with Fu Ji in the world, and now the time is really free.
However, if you become a noble concubine, you may be in a hurry.
I saw that her ten fingers were still slender, and I felt that something was wrong, but in the blink of an eye, I was attracted by her belly.
Good fellow, like a half-sized bag that has been blown up, looks a little abnormal in the roundness.
It is difficult to raise a fetus, it is even more difficult to raise a dragon fetus, it is inconvenient to go out two months early, even if you only take two steps in your own palace, you have to be supported by two people, and you always have to kneel for me at every turn, our noble concubine is really hard.
It's hard to kneel or not, and it's also hard for me to be fake.
The two sides didn't say anything for a while, I held the tea, very leisurely drifted away from the foam on the tea leaves, only drank the tea and didn't talk, I didn't get up to hold her mind at all, I didn't even pretend, I looked at her and I went around thirteen times, what did I want to say.
"The concubines rashly invited each other today, because they have something to ask for" Cheng Guifei knelt down, and the salute was very standard, but her voice trembled a little.
This posture seems to be real, which is completely unexpected.
I put down the teacup and raised my eyebrows: "Sister, what's the matter?" β
The palace maids wanted to come up to help, but Cheng Guifei refused, kneeling stubbornly, no matter whether she knelt so much or not, she had to kneel the child out at once, her eyes were already red, and the tears in her couldn't fall.
"These days, the people in front of Niangniang have gone and scattered, hindering the face of the saint, Niangniang has tolerated it so far" After speaking, she bowed down again, and then gasped and got up: "The concubine knows that she can't get rid of it, so she knelt down and made amends to Niangniang." β
Ho, it turned out that Toucheng was here.
Xiang Taozi and Wu Meizi glanced at each other behind the concubine, and felt that the concubine was also pitiful, and she had to beware of the queen harming her.
But seeing Cheng Guifei like this, they don't know what their master's attitude will be.
Maybe the tiger's den is safer than the wolf's den.
Who knows?
"Say, it's the queen who wants your child" I paused, tabooing that the pregnant woman was delicate and couldn't be stimulated, so I had to swallow back the original words, and asked in a more tactful way: "Or say... The queen only needs you as a child?"
Women are already nervous, especially women with big bellies, and they can't listen to the words "death" and "death".
I'd love to see her stillborn, but I'd have to pick a time when I'm not there.............
Sure enough, Concubine Cheng listened to my words, was silent for a while, and bit her lip silently.
Looking at that expression, I probably knew about it.
Well, the queen wants to take the child over to raise it, the starting point is very good and reasonable.
However, if you want to cut the grass to get rid of the roots, you have to slowly figure it out, otherwise it will be too ugly to eat, and it will not be good to force people to be anxious.
No one is born a fool, and when he is in a hurry, he will naturally abandon the queen and switch to my side~
"The queen mother gave a reward in three days and two ends, and also said that there was no need to let the concubine go to thank her," Cheng Guifei took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, turned her head and asked someone to bring a set of tea sets, and asked someone to test the water with a silver needle, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she said to me: "Don't tell the mother, the concubine can't sleep these days and nights, and she trembles with everything, which is really ....... in my heart."
"Be cautious in everything, it's always right" I soothingly wiped away the tears that just popped up from the corners of her eyes, but my mind turned to another thought, and I thought about it: "Only when my sister is good, the queen mother can have hope, and then there is our saint, you can rest assured, right?"
"Yes, the concubine understands" Cheng Guifei's eyes rolled, her red eyes showed her delicate color, and she said in a lamented voice: "It's a pity that the queen can't tolerate the concubines........."
".............. "I really want to insert a sentence that the palace can't tolerate it, but people are ready to sing a counter-plot here, so I can only be polite, and I will go down and say: "Then it depends on who is the queen, and it is the .......... of the palace."
"Niangniang is naturally also affordable" Cheng Guifei immediately took over, her face was sincere and sincere: "The concubine is willing to serve Niangniang, and she only wants a place, so that the concubine can raise this child by herself." β
If you agree so quickly, there must be a greater inside story.
Doing business with smart people is risky, but the good thing is that it doesn't take much trouble to talk. I was happy to receive a guarantee first, and after a few words with Cheng Guifei, I said, "In this way, everyone will be happy." β
................
The fastest rumor in the palace is gossip except for the wind, and the concubine and the concubine closed the door in Ruichang Palace and talked, and they talked for a full moment before coming out.
That's a lot of news.
If it is not unusual, it may be the extent to which the sun comes out in the west.
There were a few concubines who thought that they might be pinched into something, and they planned to follow Li Zhaorong in to watch the excitement, but they didn't expect that Li Zhaorong had just arrived, and the concubine Niangniang came out of it.
Fortunately, the queen didn't care at all what the two would say.
The foreshadowing is very in place, the concubine has made many times of discomfort, and intercepted several times of the holy car, in the eyes of outsiders, it has long been the front wave pushing the back wave, either you come or I rob the relationship,
In just a moment, can it still be said that it is impossible to break the sky?
The queen didn't even have to think about it.
The gate of Ruichang Palace opened and closed, as if separated by a wall, and the filth inside could be safely hidden underneath, and not half a cent could be leaked out.
Spring tea is a tender tip that can only be picked after the first rain of the month every month, and it is exclusive to the royal family, and it is difficult to buy it for thousands of dollars, but it tastes like it if you drink too much.
Besides, when a good tea is drunk at the end, what you really want to taste is not tea, but something else.
With grace, the stars in the sky can be plucked in your hands, but without grace, you will get nothing.
Women, born with a weak position, in addition to relying on the strong, what other way can better protect themselves and ascend to the sky in one step?
"Congratulations to the concubine Niangniang" Luo Zhiyi held up a fake belly, watching the nominal enemy in front of him leave, and felt a little sorry in his heart.
Beauty and beauty, there is rarely a chance to be able to sympathize with each other, and it is good to be able to talk well when they meet.
At this time, she looked at the distant figure of the concubine, thinking about what the concubine said just now, what she said was completely incorrect, and the layout was thorough, I was afraid that she really wanted to pull the queen off the horse, but there was a feeling of sympathy in her heart.
To put it bluntly, this is just the mentality of the winner.
From any point of view, it is a matter of success or failure, and it is actually not interesting to pursue the process.
Soon, she will live in a more gorgeous palace, wear a better eight-panel dress, and she will get everything that Concubine Rui got before.
The only thing that may be different is that the original emperor has to be replaced, the Fu royal family has turned into the world of the Gongsun clan, Jing has been changed to Xiang, and Zhou has been replaced by a city, everything is just a change of name.
Before entering the palace, I haven't heard of the concubine's 'glorious deeds', this heart is up and down, except for the queen to ask for peace, I don't dare to take the lead, the concubine said to go east, the concubine said to do the rules, be careful, lest people see the clues.
But after a long time of coming in, I realized that the concubine was not an unattainable mountain, she also had weaknesses and a bottom line that could not be done.
This person, what he is most afraid of is that there is no bottom line, the tree wants the bark and the person wants the face, and the one with a conscience is better than the one with a black heart.
If the concubine is really ruthless and careless about life and death, it will be difficult to do.
In addition to these, the two of them are also very similar, that is, they both have a powerful mother behind them, and beautiful appearances, but her luck is slightly better, and there is an extra piece of meat in her stomach.
In the final analysis, the harem is supplemented by family background, the imperial heir is the superior, the protection of women's lives is pressed on the top, and the people from the Tai Hospital and the Introspection Bureau are strictly investigated, and no one will ever dare to joke about this.
The real piece of meat is in the stomach of a small palace maid in Ruichang Palace.
It's not a pearl fetus, it's not a dragon fetus, it's just a child of Tingwei, the product of fornication,
The little palace girl was born to be cannon fodder, and now she is raised with good food and drink, but when the time comes, take out the piece of meat in her stomach, and she will not be worth much.
A small piece of meat may not be good enough to be used as a bargaining chip, but it is completely sufficient to use it as evidence for false accusations.
And the reason why Luo Zhiyi dared to do this was because her father had done something bigger.
Confined to the harem, Luo Zhiyi may not be able to turn over the piece of heaven controlled by the concubine, but now Chengguo is doing collusion with foreign countries and complicity in rebellion, she entered the palace just to paralyze the nerves of the saint, and by the way, to make some waves, so that the Lu family and Fu Sen will look more and more arbitrary and more and more obstructive.
Now that the goal has been halfway achieved, the undercurrent of the previous dynasty is surging, the Lu family and Fu Sen are just barely supporting, and the monarch and the ministers are centrifuging, and it is only sooner or later.
Luo Zhiyi himself knows that it is just a small trick to say that she is pregnant and survives.
The little trick can't be put on the stage, but the bluffing can live on the side, and the concubine who can bluff is timid, and she does not hesitate to join forces with the queen who has always been at odds, and she doesn't even dare to let go of Ruichang Palace, and she secretly calls someone to go to Runyu Palace to call Li Zhaorong, and it is not in vain that she has raised the little palace maid for so long and spent so much effort.
The bigger the bet, the more she gets, what she wants is for the concubine to be suspicious, a series of tosses, the people of the Introspection Bureau are just a trick, even if the concubine wants to investigate, she doesn't know where to start, and she doesn't know where she really wants to do it, and it's not in the Introspection Bureau at all.
Serial plan, no one is missing, Luo Zhiyi is not afraid that he will not be able to paralyze the eyes of the concubine, he is afraid that Li Zhaorong will be timid at that time, and his performance will be unstable, and he will forget the original lines, so that this play will not be perfect and perfect.
Of course, she can avoid the cold medicine under the concubine and the black hand of the queen in the open and secret, and she still has to thank the saint well.
Without the support of the saint behind his back, no one would dare to get along with the concubine as soon as he came up.
Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, she is an 'outsider' who comes from behind, and she can understand the sage's plan.
But the concubine didn't understand.
The affection is not deep, it is both false and true, and even I can't see it clearly.
It's naΓ―ve.
