Chapter Twenty-Six: Thoughts
"Master..."Ying Hui wanted to open her mouth to comfort Hua Shuyi, but she didn't know how to speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She has always seen the situation of her master in the palace over the years, and Concubine Su was the favorite of Concubine Su and Concubine Liu when she was there.
Concubine Su went, and Concubine Liu became Queen Liu, although she was not as favored as before, but Queen Liu had a big prince. The most important thing is that there is a Concubine Shen, who spends time in the harem.
But when Concubine Su was still there, the concubines who were in the harem together knew the reason why Concubine Shen was able to favor the harem alone, but except for Concubine Shen, the emperor did not favor others.
Concubine Shen changed from the original Shen Cairen to a second-class concubine, and she was greatly favored. But the position of master and others remained unchanged for three years. There is no favor, and there are no heirs, and life in the palace is not easy at all. And the master is subject to that man.
For Hua Shuyi, over the years, she has been really tired.
In fact, she was even a little glad that she said that today, which angered the emperor and was sent to the cold palace.
Over the years, she has been no different from a dead person in the palace, she has no favor, and she is still controlled by others, for too long, even she herself is almost unable to recognize herself.
Instead of doing this, walking on thin ice to help others do things, and not living like herself, it is better to be in the cold palace, perhaps, she can get rid of that person.
"Yinghui, you said, did the palace do something wrong back then, and the palace shouldn't have been mixed up at all." After being beaten into the cold palace, she calmed down, recalled some things in the past, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
Seeing the third prince today, she had to think of that person and what she did back then. Although that person was no longer there, every time she thought about it in the middle of the night, the fear and guilt in her heart increased day by day, and she was not at peace.
"Master, don't think about it, the past is over. It was your own decision, and now there's no turning back, just let those things pass. Ying Hui comforted Hua Shuyi.
Her master was also a scheming, kind-hearted person. But in the harem, kindness can't survive, and her master is forced beyond recognition.
If you want to survive in the harem, you can't be soft-hearted. The master has already done that thing, and it is impossible to turn back. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you have to walk over.
Hua Shuyi didn't answer, staring quietly out the window, silent in the room.
Shaoyang Palace
"What do you think of today's events?" Concubine Qi asked Yuxi, the personal palace maid beside her.
"What do you mean, master?" Yuxi didn't know what exactly Concubine Qi was referring to.
"You say, why did the third prince call Yue Wanrong the concubine?" This is something that Qi Guifei has always been unable to understand.
It stands to reason that even if the third prince is called the mother concubine, he is also called Concubine Shen, why is it Yue Wanrong. Yue Wanrong and the third prince are not related, why in the end?
With a wry smile, Concubine Qi continued: "Concubine Su, the palace is about to forget her. When he said this, he seemed to be muttering to himself.
When she heard the third prince call her mother concubine today, she was really stunned. For Concubine Su, she herself didn't know how long it was a long time ago, so long that even she almost forgot about it.
But the appearance of Concubine Shen, as well as what Emperor Yan has done in the past three years, remind her all the time that Concubine Su is a person who can never be erased.
"Master, the slave doesn't know this." Shaking his head, Yuxi really couldn't figure this out.
Seeing that Concubine Qi frowned, Yuxi continued: "Niangniang, although you can't figure out this matter, it's a good thing for Niangniang. Presumably, when I heard the third prince call his mother concubine today, some people were afraid that they would not be at peace. ”
"You're right, although Bengong can't figure it out, but I'm afraid that some people won't be comfortable today, so in this way, Bengong will feel much more comfortable." After Concubine Qi heard Yuxi's words, a smile appeared on her face, and it was very deep.
She knew that Yuxi was talking about Queen Liu, and when it came to Queen Liu, she had always scoffed.
Back in the harem, although she couldn't get used to Concubine Su, the most hated was Queen Liu. For Queen Liu, she has always been unable to like it.
When Concubine Su died, she felt very strange. She always felt that Concubine Su's death was inseparable from Queen Liu, but she couldn't find evidence.
Concubine Su and Queen Liu were old enemies back then, and what happened between Emperor Yan, Queen Liu and Concubine Su back then, even now, many people still don't understand.
Queen Liu is the root of the disease brought out from her mother's womb, and I feel sorry for her weak body, and because of Emperor Yan's childhood sweetheart, so Emperor Yan especially pities her.
At that time, Queen Liu was really terminally ill, and I heard that only Concubine Su, who had excellent medical skills, could be treated in the world, but Concubine Su was unwilling to help.
The deep hatred between Queen Liu and Concubine Su is known in the harem. The most talked-about thing is that not long after Concubine Su died, Queen Liu's body was slowly adjusted. It's not strong, but it's not as weak as it used to be.
The deep meaning hidden in this may not be understood by others, but she understands.
Queen Liu is a very deep person, and she was the only winner when Concubine Su was still there.
But after Concubine Su went, it wasn't.
After Concubine Su went, what Emperor Yan had done in the past three years could be said to have dealt a big blow to Queen Liu.
Presumably, now when I see the third prince, Queen Liu, I will feel uncomfortable, and this is in the arms of Concubine Qi. Because she saw Queen Liu eating deflated, Concubine Qi enjoyed it.
Seeing Concubine Qi like this, Yuxi didn't know what to say, and stood silently beside her.
Yaoyun Palace
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Queen Liu rubbing her forehead, her personal palace maid Xing'er asked with concern.
"It's okay, you go down first, I want to stay by myself for a while." Queen Liu continued to rub her eyebrows, her heart was in a mess, and she was very irritable.
Xing'er was about to say something more, but when she saw Queen Liu's appearance, she silently shut up and accompanied her by her side.
She knew the troubles in her master's heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
"You say, what does Concubine Qi mean by staring at the palace today?" The more Concubine Shen thought about today's events, the more confused she became.
"Master, this slave doesn't know, maybe you are wrong." Concubine Shen's personal palace maid Wan'er said.
"Impossible, for no reason, she wouldn't look at Bengong with such a deep face. Hongu always felt as if there was something about Hongu, but Hongu didn't know about it. "How could Concubine Shen not be able to see if Concubine Qi had been looking at her today, and the expression on her face seemed to be smiling, I am afraid that there is a lot of article in it.
Although in the harem, she monopolized the emperor's favor, but she never offended others.
When Concubine Qi looked at her, some of the emotions in her eyes were not a day or two, she felt it as soon as she entered the palace, but she didn't know why.
Before entering the palace, she didn't know Concubine Qi, she was not a relative, she had never been in contact, and she didn't have a holiday with her after entering the palace, but she always had the illusion that Concubine Qi had known her for a long time.
Concubine Qi can be said to be the person she can't touch in the harem.
It is because of this that she is very irritable.
"Mother, don't think about it. According to the slave maid, Concubine Qi is afraid that she will be surprised that you will go to see the third prince before looking at you. Guan'er continued: "Think about how many pairs of eyes in the harem are staring at you and jealous of you now. ”
"And the three princes, you also know. Although he is a prince, he has not been taken seriously, and he is not even as good as a slave. Although he was poisoned, but you and he were not related to each other, and you went there for no reason, it is inevitable that Concubine Qi will think more. ”
"Maybe you're right." Concubine Shen thought about it for a while, and this was also the case.
The third prince, when she thought of the third prince, she suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. She has been in the palace for two years, although the emperor seems to have been favoring her alone, but she is still not pregnant, and she has not given birth to half of the daughters for the emperor, which is her heart knot.
It stands to reason that the emperor has favored her for so long, she should be pregnant, but she didn't. The emperor already has a prince, so the problem is definitely not with the emperor.
She also suspected that it was a problem with her body, and asked the doctor to check her body, but the doctor said that she was in good health and could conceive, but her stomach still has not moved.
Sometimes when she sees the children in the palace, she is inevitably a little lost.
Now that I have seen the three princes again, this feeling of loss is even worse.
Who wouldn't want to have children in the harem, and she was no exception.
lowered her head and touched her belly, she was thinking, when will she have a child who belongs to the emperor?
"Niangniang, don't think about it, it's not early, let's rest early." Seeing Concubine Shen's face of loss, Guan'er naturally knew the reason.
The master has always wanted to conceive a child, but he has never been able to get his wish, which is a hurdle in the master's heart.
Presumably, today's master saw that the third prince remembered the sad thing again, and she also wanted to comfort the master, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
"Did the emperor send someone to say that he would come here tonight?" Concubine Shen raised her head and asked, the emperor hadn't stepped into the harem for a few days.
I used to come to my palace often, but in the past few days, I haven't come.
"Mother, no." Wan'er shook her head, afraid that Concubine Shen would be unhappy, and then said: "Niangniang, the third prince was poisoned today, and the emperor has been with the third prince for a long time. ”
"Although the three princes are not taken seriously, they are all the emperor's children anyway, and the emperor has to care about such a major event. I heard that after coming out of the third prince, the emperor went directly back to the Ganlu Hall to rest. The slave and maid estimate that the emperor will not come over again, so you should rest early. ”
"It's fine." Concubine Shen responded, anyway, although the emperor didn't come to her own palace, she didn't go to other people's palaces, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Day 2
The poisoning of the third prince Furen checked and checked, and found An Shunyi's body. An Shunyi was demoted to a concubine by Emperor Yan early in the morning of the second day.
"Impossible, this is impossible, this palace did not poison the third prince. The palace was framed, and the palace was going to see the emperor. An Shunyi sat down on the ground after hearing Emperor Yan's holy decree, looking decadent. Said incredulously.
She didn't believe it, she didn't believe that she was being relegated to a concubine.
