10. Chapter X
After Jia Concubine Jin Jia Wanhua fell into the water, fortunately, the treatment was timely, so she was finally in no danger, but she was a little frightened. After the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, Jia Concubine and the dragon fetus in her womb were safe and sound, which finally made Fucha Ningxiu breathe a sigh of relief.
Fucha Ning Xiu didn't care so much about the dragon fetus in Jia Concubine's womb, in fact, Ning Xiu couldn't wait for someone in the harem to make some trouble and use a plan to remove the evil seed in Jia Concubine's womb for her. It's just that Fucha Ningxiu can't tolerate that these shameless sluts in the harem dare to attack Jia Concubine so boldly at the banquet she held, and deliberately lead the disaster to her head!
The more Ning Xiu thought about it, the more frightened she became, she only felt that the master behind the scenes was ambitious, and she was afraid that designing to deal with Jia Concubine and the dragon fetus in her womb was only the first step, and then there must be a series of tricks after that, and then with these things, the emperor gradually became disgusted and alienated from her, and this queen was the real purpose of that slut.
Ning Xiu turned to think of Xiao Yan in the Imperial Garden today, who was desperate to save people regardless of her own safety, and her face softened slightly.
Whether Xiao Yan's act of saving people today was to attract the emperor's attention to win honor and favor, or she really couldn't bear to see Jia Concubine drowning and reached out to help, she finally helped her a lot. Now Xiao Yan still looks a little cold and cold, and her personality is very unpleasant, but she is still supple and obedient.
Since she decided to support Xiao Yan to deal with the slut of the Gao family, it seems that she should also mention Xiao Yan's position a little by virtue of this matter. In this way, it can not only show the favor of Xiao Yan, but also deter the harem concubines. She wants to let those little sluts who dare to calculate her know that only by being respectful and loyal to her, the queen, will they have a good life in this harem.
That night, Ning Xiu specially ordered the imperial dining room to make a few dishes that Qianlong loved, and invited Qianlong to come to Changchun Palace to dine with her. Qianlong also seemed to have something to discuss with Ning Xiu, so he came earlier than the time for dinner.
Ning Xiu saw that Qianlong came half an hour earlier than usual, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so she hurriedly got up and stepped forward, and took the palace maids and eunuchs to salute Qianlong and say goodbye.
Qianlong called out with a calm face, and sat with Ning Xiu on the two main seats in the main hall.
Ning Xiu ordered the palace maid to serve Qianlong a cup of freshly soaked West Lake Longjing, and then talked about the thrilling scene in the Fubi Pavilion in the Imperial Garden this morning with a sad face: "Today is really frightening the concubine!" The concubine originally saw that today's weather was excellent, so she ordered the palace people to set up a banquet at the Fubi Pavilion, and invited the sisters to dine together and enjoy the scenery in the garden. Who would have thought that everyone was smiling and having fun, but Jia Concubine suddenly fell into the pool unexpectedly. Fortunately, with the blessing of God, Xiao promised to know how to float in the water, and rescued Jia Concubine with quick movements. The concubine has already asked the imperial doctor to go to Zhong Cui Palace to check the pulse of Jia Concubine, and Jia Concubine and the dragon fetus in her womb are safe and sound. ”
Ning Xiu knew that Concubine Jia fell into the water in the imperial garden, and she must not be able to hide it from Qianlong. Rather than being told to Qianlong's ears by someone with a heart, it is better to report this matter to Qianlong first. In this way, you will not fall into a completely passive disadvantage.
Qianlong didn't comment much on Xiao Yan's rescue, but just nodded and said, "It's good that Concubine Jia and the heir of the emperor in the womb have nothing to do." Then he glanced at the queen lightly, and said in a stern tone: "Giving birth to the imperial heir and inheriting the royal bloodline is the key to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the continuation of future generations. The queen was in danger this time, presided over the overall situation, and saved Jia Concubine and the dragon fetus in her womb, which is worthy of praise. ”
Although Qianlong did not accuse Ning Xiu of half a sentence in these words, it made Ning Xiu shudder inexplicably, and heard the warning in it.
Ning Xiu hurriedly refused: "Taking care of the harem concubines and inheriting the bloodline for the emperor is the duty of the concubine as a queen, but the emperor can't be so praised." When it comes to people worthy of praise, the concubine feels that Xiao promised to be pure and kind-hearted, and after seeing Jia Concubine fall into the water, she immediately jumped into the water to save people regardless of her own safety. With this heart and courage, he is also worthy of the emperor's commendation. ”
Ning Xiu said while carefully observing Qianlong's face, seeing that Qianlong nodded in agreement, she showed a virtuous and generous smile, and continued: "The concubine is here to ask the emperor for a favor for Xiao Promise, Xiao promised to be beautiful and meritorious in saving people, and should be promoted to Guanchang." ”
"Wan Chang is there?" Qianlong frowned and looked at Ning Xiu puzzled, "Why did the queen choose this title for Xiao?" ”
Ning Xiu replied with a light smile: "Today, Xiao promised to save people and smiled in the bright sunshine in the Fubi Pavilion, but the concubines and concubines were amazed!" The concubine felt that Xiao Yu'er's smile was extremely beautiful, so she chose this title for her. Of course, if the emperor has another favorite title, or feels that he is not very satisfied, he only redrafts a title and changes it, and the concubine has no objection. ”
Qianlong said: "Xiao promised to enter the palace for a short time, even if she has saved people, it will be enough to promote her position to a permanent presence." As for the ban, let's put it off for the time being, let's not mention it for the time being. ”
Ning Xiu saw that Qianlong was not in a hurry to promote Xiao Yan to a noble person after Xiao Yan went to bed, and even after learning that Xiao Yan had a meritorious role in rescuing Concubine Jia and the imperial heir in her womb, she only agreed to promote Xiao Yan to be a permanent presence, and she was not even willing to give Xiao Yan the title, so she knew that Qianlong must be a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yan, so she was unwilling to give her greater honor.
Ning Xiu is happy to see this, although she hopes that she can use Xiao Yan's beauty in the harem to take away part of Qianlong's thoughts on Gao's body, but she doesn't want to see Qianlong love Xiao Yan as much as he once doted on Gao. After all, having only one Gao clan in the palace was enough to give her a headache, and she didn't need another Gao clan to block her!
Qianlong saw that Ning Xiu really took the initiative to ask for grace for Xiao Yan without waiting for half a sentence for him, and mentioned Xiao Yan's advancement, so shrewd but he didn't have the slightest doubt about Jia Concubine's accidental overboard, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, this is the good wife and queen he chose in his previous life! I felt more and more cold for Ning Xiu in my heart.
After Qianlong and the empress discussed, the next morning he issued a decree to promote Xiao Yan to Chang Presence.
Xiao Yan sent away Wu Shulai, who came to deliver the decree on the order of Qianlong, and then sent away wave after wave of Xiao Changzai and Xiao Promise of Chuxiu Palace, who came to congratulate her, and then took the holy decree and looked at it twice, and asked the system happily: "I am now always present from the promise of Jinfeng, there should be a corresponding point reward, right?" ”
System: "Uh, promotion is a ...... with no points award"
Xiao Yan frowned: "Is there a corresponding surprise gift package?" ”
The system was nervous: "This ...... Nor did it. ”
Xiao Yan was displeased: "It can't be that there are no corresponding incentives, right?" ”
The system is embarrassed: "This ...... No Yay......"
Xiao Yan raised her head and sighed: "Actually, this can have ......"
The system replied seriously: "I'm sorry, this is really not!" ”
Xiao Yan was angry: "If I learn from Zhao Benshan, do you want to learn from Xiao Shenyang?" ”
The system was puzzled: "Zhao Benshan, Xiao Shenyang, who is that?" ”
Xiao Yan: "......"
Even Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang don't know that the system is actually from an alien, right? Right?
Seeing that Xiao Yanqing was a little depressed, the system hurriedly comforted: "Although this system cannot directly provide the master with points for promotion, there are still many benefits that promotion can bring. For example, the master can get an extra palace maid assigned to the master by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the annual annual rate of the master also rises from thirty taels of silver to fifty taels of silver. The owner can also have more opportunities to meet Qianlong, which helps a lot to brush Qianlong's favorability, and the host can add another meat dish to every meal on weekdays......"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and she added another meat dish...... This should be the best news she heard after she was promoted.
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Qianlong was sitting upright in front of the imperial case to review the folds, and when he saw Wu Shu coming back and forth, his right hand holding the Zhu pen did not pause, and he still walked around the dragon, but asked lightly: "Xiao promised...... Xiao Changzai's reaction when he heard about the joy of promotion? ”
Wu Shulai didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and replied in 1510: "Your Majesty, Xiao Changzai seems to be a little overjoyed, so he is a little stunned. The minions are stupid, and the others don't see anything. ”
Qianlong hooked his lips and smiled, a touch of deep meaning flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, and he chuckled in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is a little thing that is good at disguising himself...... It's just that I don't know, in the moment of intoxication and extreme joy, will your little thing show its feet? ”
Wu Shulai lowered his head, but his heart was turbulent, little thing? His master had never shown such great interest in any of his concubines, nor had he ever called them so affectionately. From this point of view, although Xiao Chang did not get the title given by the emperor himself in this promotion, the emperor's treatment of Xiao Chang was different from the other concubines in the palace after all. It seems that he will be more respectful to Xiao Changzai in the future.
After dinner, when the little eunuch in the respectful room presented the green head card to Qianlong and asked him to turn over the card, Qianlong really ordered Xiao Yan to sleep.
When Wu Shulai happily went to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace to announce the decree, Xiao Yan was so angry that she just wanted to scold, the discomfort of her first pampering was not good, why did the Qianlong scum come to toss her again? !
