Chapter 25: Misunderstanding
Yichun came to Qi Jinghuan and said that today's oral message in Jiang Mansion and Jiang Shangshu's face were very colorful, and if you ignore his beaten black right eye, it is quite complacent.
His jet-black right eye and the head that swayed from time to time due to excitement were really not very good-looking, Qi Jinghuan frowned slightly, this Yichun's eyes would not have been beaten by the people of the Jiang Mansion.
"What's going on with your eyes? The people of the Jiang Mansion have beaten you. ”
"How dare they." Yichun listened to Qi Jinghuan's words, unconsciously touched his right eye, and pouted; "The slave is at the behest of His Majesty."
Since it was not the people of the Jiang Mansion who beat it, then there is no need to ask, if the people of the Jiang Mansion dared to beat the eunuch who passed on the message, he would not spare the Jiang Mansion lightly, and now it was not the people of the Jiang Mansion who beat him, and he did not have the heart to ask the small fights of the minions below.
Waving his hand to let Yichun retreat, Yichun retreated outside, and happened to meet Shen You'an who came out of the duty room with a red lacquered wooden tray, and instantly thought of being beaten by Man Chun today.
Yichun walked up to Shen Youan aggrievedly, Shen Youan saw that his eyes were a little bruised, and asked worriedly; "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Yichun sniffed; "Sister You'an, my eyes were beaten by the fierce girl of your family."
"What kind of girl?"
Shen Youan asked puzzled.
"It's the last time I went to Chengenmen to see your Manchun girl, I happened to meet her when I went out of the palace today, so I thought if she had anything to say for me to give you, how do you know that she didn't say two words, she beat my eyes like this."
Yichun pointed to his right eye and complained about Manchun's atrocities today, where did he meet such a girl, how could he beat someone after just saying two words, and besides, didn't he want to help her pass on a word? If this person doesn't appreciate it, forget it, and beat people.
Shen Youan understood when he heard him say this, although Manchun was usually very arrogant, but he acted cautiously, she had never seen Yichun, this Yichun was dressed as a eunuch in the palace to talk to her, she must have thought that Yichun was a bad person, so she would hurt him.
"Manchun was reckless today, I apologize to you for her."
Yichun muttered; "Where can I make Sister You'an apologize, I'm just saying, I acted recklessly today, Miss Manchun hasn't seen me, I'm afraid it's because I'm that uneasy and kind villain."
"Manchun's girl has a lot of strength, I'll give you some medicine when you come to me."
Yichun just wanted to agree, but suddenly his mind turned and said; "No need, I'm a little injured, just come by yourself, sister, go in and serve Your Majesty."
Let Sister You'an help him with medicine, isn't he looking for death? If His Majesty knew about it, he would not have to skin himself.
Shen Youan ran away as if he had run away, shook his head with a smile, and turned around and walked inside.
Yihua Palace is built in the south of the palace, is in addition to the residence of the queen of the past dynasties Yongning Palace outside the closest palace to the Shengning Palace, of course, in addition to the Yongning Palace there is also a Yongle Palace, Yongle Palace and Yihua Palace one is on the north side of the Shengning Palace, one is on the south side of the Shengning Palace, the location is almost the same as the Shengning Palace, but the Yongle Palace is larger, and occupies the same Yongzi as the Yongshou Palace and the Yongning Palace, which has always been left to the most favored concubines by His Majesty, and generally the imperial concubines and concubines can live there.
Now the two palaces of Yongning Palace and Yongle Palace are empty, and this Yihua Palace is like the best palace.
Huilan Hall is the main hall of Yihua Palace, Concubine Xian is crooked on the chaise couch in the warm pavilion at this time, her eyes are slightly closed, the female official standing next to her bows her head slightly, the room is quiet, Concubine Xian suddenly opened her eyes and whispered; "Father is in a hurry this time."
Obviously, she also knew that Taifu recommended a scholar who failed to make the list, but Jiang Shangshu was punished for this, thinking that Taifu Song deliberately suppressed the Jiang family and pressed Concubine Yun in the palace by the way.
The female officer next to her persuaded; "The master may not have done it on purpose, it was the scholar who stopped the sedan chair on the street, and the master was also in a dilemma."
Concubine Xian snorted coldly, "It's just a scholar, what if you stop a sedan chair on the street, it's good to bring it back to the house to be a staff member, why don't you recommend it to Your Majesty." ”
"The master doesn't know the difficulties of the mother outside the palace."
"The palace is now looking at the scenery in this palace, but His Majesty is not coming to the harem at all, and there is no half of the mind to stand up, the Jiang Mansion and the Song Mansion have been friends for generations, and my father is in a hurry to suppress the Jiang Mansion now, so what do those who are good friends with the Song Mansion think, although Concubine Yun's position is lower than that of the Palace, but after all, she is a concubine, and it is easy to secretly make a stumbling block for the Palace, my father is not helping the Palace as the queen, this is in a hurry to make enemies for the Palace."
There is no queen in the harem, although she holds the power of the palace, but after all, the name is not good, His Majesty is now happy in the Shengning Palace, although the power of the harem is handed over to himself, but the people under the division are all like something, on the surface they respect themselves, but in private there are a few people who really obey themselves, but they are temporarily in charge of the harem for the emperor, after he is established, this right is not allowed to be handed over, His Majesty is to take himself as a housekeeper.
"Niangniang, this Yun Concubine Niangniang is separated from you, from the slave maid's point of view, she may not be willing, even if the master does not suppress Jiang Fu, she will not be honest."
"You know what?" Concubine Xian reprimanded; "Even if she is unwilling, at least she can maintain the superficial harmony, and now that her father is making such a fuss, if she simply makes a fuss and tears her face with the palace, then the two high-ranking positions in the palace are not in harmony, and there is no laughing matter."
The female officer stepped back slightly, and Concubine Xian suddenly said again; "Concubine Yun of Tangli Palace, there is nothing to be afraid of at all, the one who is afraid is the one in Shengning Palace."
She said that the one in the Shengning Palace, the one who lived in the Shengning Palace was the emperor Xià, and the female official naturally knew that what Concubine Xian was talking about was not His Majesty, but Shen Youan, but she didn't understand, Shen You'an was just a female official, why did Niangniang think she was a threat, if His Majesty was really interested in her, why didn't she directly enter the harem, but let her be a little female official, she thought so, and asked so.
Concubine Xian listened to her question and said with a wry smile; "How does this palace know what His Majesty means, if he knows what His Majesty means, there is no need to be afraid every day."
She didn't know what Her Majesty meant, but she knew that Shen You'an's stay in Shengning Palace was a threat, she knew that Shen You'an was her biggest threat from the draft, God had eyes, so she lost the election, but who knows, Her Majesty actually got her under her nose to be a female official, she didn't have a moment of peace in her heart, Shen You'an was in Shengning Palace for a day, she couldn't be at peace for a day.
Shen Youan is noble, her appearance and character are excellent, she has known her since she was a child, and she knows that men have no resistance to women like Shen You'an at all, not to mention that now she is still under the nose of His Majesty every day, if she enters the palace as a concubine, it is not such a big threat, but she is waiting for His Majesty's favor like them, this harem has no shortage of beautiful women, and His Majesty will let go of it after a while at most, but now, she stays by His Majesty's side every day, how can she not give birth to a little affection.
Besides, it is strange for Her Majesty to let a young lady of the public mansion be the female official next to her, in the past, she looked at Her Majesty coldly and was not good to Shen You'an, and she could comfort herself Maybe she was thinking too much, but now that Her Majesty does not come to the harem, and no one is allowed to enter the Shengning Palace, how can it not make people suspicious.
Concubine Xian had a premonition that as long as Shen You'an was there, it would be her biggest threat, and this feeling made her panic all day long.
"Haven't the people sent to Qingqiu Pavilion and the Cold Palace found out the news yet?"
As soon as the female official heard Concubine Xian's question, she hurriedly bowed and replied; "Niangniang, Lin Zhaorong is guarded by His Majesty, our people can't get close, and over there in the Cold Palace, Xu Guiren is already crazy."
"I just can't ask about anything." Concubine Xian snorted coldly, "The more you can't find out anything, the more you are tired, then Lin Zhaorong is used to being arrogant, and she has never even paid attention to the palace, isn't it just relying on Her Majesty to spoil her, saying that she wants to be the queen of the palace, but if she shows it in front of Her Majesty, the palace doesn't believe it at all." ”
"Niangniang, Chen Meiren was also there that day, so it is better to summon her over and ask."
The female officer asked tentatively.
Concubine Xian frowned in displeasure; "What's the use of looking for her, I can't inquire about those two places, it must be that His Majesty ordered to seal his mouth, if the palace investigates the reason further, if His Majesty knows it, I'm afraid that I will be unhappy, I don't need to ask, this matter must have nothing to do with Shen Youan."
Concubine Xian said that she didn't inquire, but her heart was still like a cat's paw, but she didn't want to investigate too much, although she was in charge of the palace power in this harem, but after all, she had not been in the palace for a long time, and the foundation was not deep, plus Her Majesty was not very big to come to her, many old people in the palace did not buy it, and she, the concubine who was in charge of the palace, sometimes did something and had to sprinkle a lot of silver, and when she met the slippery old oily head, the silver was sprinkled out, and what she came back from the inquiry was actually something useless, in the end, The name of this virtuous concubine is still not easy to use, if she is the queen, thinking of this, the virtuous concubine unconsciously clenched her fists, if she is the queen, then these people must not dare to be so presumptuous, now what is this, with the name of "virtuous", the power of the queen, but it is not the queen, it was okay in the past, but now His Majesty does not even see himself, and I don't know how many people look at his jokes behind his back.
She has been a housekeeper for Her Majesty for nothing, and she can't get any benefits, she must sit in the back seat, and no one can stand in her way, Concubine Yun can't, Shen You'an, and even more.
