185. Chapter 184
An Sui left the history of the Middle Palace, and the first thing he did was to go to the Tai Hospital, and found Taiyi Zhao by name. Imperial Physician Zhao is the imperial doctor who asked the emperor for his pulse, and he also has some friendship with An Sui in private, he became the judge of the Imperial Hospital at the age of less than forty, which is valued by the emperor, and naturally An Sui also spoke for him.
Imperial Physician Zhao understands this, and naturally he will not shirk An Sui's request. What's more, he also admires this female official who is by the emperor's side from the bottom of his heart, she does have courage, strategy, and certain means.
In the palace, he is used to seeing concubines do whatever it takes to compete for favor, and it is commonplace for people to change their hearts, but it is rare to have such an indifferent person as An Sui. I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that the emperor attaches great importance to peace and order.
After An came out of the Tai Hospital, he planned to return to the palace immediately, but he didn't want to meet the noble concubine Ban who invited An out of the Kun'an Palace to return to the palace. Ji Xuanyuan grounded her for a few months, and later released her because of the queen's plea. Counting that she is almost four months pregnant, her lower abdomen is slightly protruding, and the waiter has come out of the Huanyi Division, and she still serves the noble concubine, but she looks a lot haggard, and she is only in her early twenties, but the roughness of her skin makes her look at least twenty-seven or eighteen.
An Sui bowed slightly to her, "Concubine Ban is well!" β
Concubine Ban glanced at her with a complicated expression, "Where did Master An come back from?" This direction seems to be too hospital! β
An Sui smiled, "Niangniang is very familiar with the palace, Weichen did come out of the Tai Hospital, and after passing here, I haven't seen Ban Guifei for a long time." β
When Concubine Ban heard this, her face turned pale, "This palace hasn't been out of the palace for a while, and it's reasonable that adults haven't met this palace." Since the palace and the adults haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go and sit in the Chengqian Palace? The previous incident of the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix Diagram implicated the adults, and the palace has always been uneasy, and the palace was thinking about when it would be able to make amends to Lord An, but today it was a coincidence. It's better to be in a good time than to be in a good time, Lord An, don't you say? β
What does this mean, An Sui is not unintelligible, now that he looks at the hour, it is still early, and the emperor does not have to worry about it, he has already explained it in the morning, he met Zhang Yan on the way, and instructed Zhang Yan to inform the Qinzheng Palace.
Concubine Ban's face is not very good, her face is a little pale, and she has been grounded for several months, I am afraid that she has suffered a lot of losses. An Sui thought for a while, and then accepted the invitation of the noble concubine who got off work.
When An Sui passed by Han Wan Pavilion, he suddenly stopped, "The official is still thinking about the game of chess he played with the concubine of the class last time, speaking of which, I don't know if the game of chess between the official and the mother still exists?" β
The waiter glanced at the pavilion and told the concubine and An Sui, "If you go back to Lord An, the chess game is still in the courtyard!" Earlier, Master An said that he wanted to keep the chess game and play it another day, and our mother remembered it, and she was always ordered not to move, so she stayed. β
An smiled casually, "Thank you for paying attention." β
The noble concubine of Ban raised her feet into the pavilion and instructed a few palace maids to prepare refreshments and stoves, but An Sui had no intention of paying attention to these, and gently brushed a little dust, "I haven't played chess in the past few months, but I have accumulated a thick layer of dust." The painting girl is not well disciplined, and the place in this palace is really dedicated. β
An Sui said this very lightly, although he couldn't hear any blame in his tone, but the meaning of the words was also very clear, the waiter was choked and didn't dare to speak!
On that day, An Sui finished playing the chess game with his master, and then An Sui said that she would keep the chess game first, and she would stay in this courtyard and ordered no one to move. It's just that this kind of little thing is forgotten after a while. In addition, after being punished to hard labor in the Huanyi Division, this matter is naturally even more uncaring.
The concubine hurriedly played a round game, "There are many and complicated things in the palace, and the painters are often busy and lacking skills, so don't be harsh!" β
"If the official really wants to criticize her, then it won't be as simple as three months for her to stay in the Huanyi Division." An Sui was silent.
When Concubine Ban Guifei heard this, her face turned three points whiter, she originally wanted to sell her personal favor to An Sui through the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Diagram, but she didn't want to be more indifferent to her than before.
Ban Guifei is still unwilling, in the past, she may have been able to endure the loneliness of the deep palace, but now that she has a child, if she does not get the favor of the emperor, the child in her womb will naturally have a more worrying future. Before she entered the palace, she had always been the best daughter in the family, but she didn't know why she couldn't do what she wanted after entering the palace.
It is clear that Ji Xuanyuan likes his talent, but why is he unwilling to be pampered. Partial life is very fond of the virtuous concubine who doesn't know a few big characters, and the virtuous concubine is clearly arrogant in everything, and she also fights against the queen.
On the one hand, Ji Xuanyuan doted on Concubine Xian, but on the other hand, he gave the queen prestige. She is actually a person close to the queen, so Concubine Xian has never been very kind to see her, so do you want to give her a little shoes to wear.
The child in her belly. Thinking of this, Concubine Ban gently stroked her belly, Concubine Xian would not find her next time to talk, and the meaning of the words was very clear, it was nothing more than that the children in the womb, whether male or female, would be raised by Concubine Xian.
The concubine was naturally reluctant in her heart. What mother would be willing to leave her child to be raised by someone else.
What's more, Concubine Xian's abacus, how could the noble concubine not know. She now has only one princess in her hands, and if she wants to compete with the queen, she naturally needs a prince. She can't give birth to herself now, and now the queen and Ban Guifei are both pregnant in the palace, if the queen is born in the womb of a prince, then it will naturally be even more unfavorable for Concubine Xian. Ban Guifei is even more reluctant to use her children as tools.
Therefore, she must be favored by the emperor.
Ban Guifei was thinking about it, An Sui had already picked up a chess piece and lightly landed on the chess game, "It's your turn, Niangniang!" β
Concubine Ban came back to her senses, "Okay! β
Ban Guifei carefully studied the chess game for a while, and after gently dropping a piece, the actions on the chess game were already very clear, "Lord An's chess pieces have been besieged by the palace, do you still want to do the battle of trapped beasts?" β
An Sui disagreed, "Until the moment the dust settles in the chess game, it's better not to make a conclusion!" β
Ban Guifei squinted her eyes and smiled, dropped a piece slightly, and then put away a lot of chess pieces in the chess game, "Now that Lord An has left chess pieces in this chess game, even the general ones in the palace, is Lord An still unwilling to admit defeat?" β
An Sui raised his eyebrows and said, "Then please take care of it, my lord!" β
After An Sui suddenly fell a son, the situation in the chess game changed dramatically in an instant. Ban Guifei's sunspot ate An Sui's chess pieces in the middle, but he ignored the periphery, and An Sui finally settled down and wiped out all the chess pieces of Ban Guifei.
An Sui stretched out his hand to take back all the sunspots of the concubine Ban, and put them back into the chessboard they were originally in front of her.
"Wechen said that until the last moment, it will never be possible to know what the result will be. This trick can be called the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch in the back, or rather, please, Jun, enter, urn! β
An Sui raised her eyes slightly, and Concubine Ban suddenly seemed to have been drained of all her strength, "This ......"
She seemed to suddenly understand something, and her face suddenly turned pale.
An got up casually and said, "There are some things that Weichen doesn't want to pick out, but Niangniang may not be too confident, thinking that everything is in her own calculations." In the past, Niangniang had always been calm, at least in the eyes of the emperor, she was not good at competing for favor, but now it is different. Although Weichen didn't know why Niangniang suddenly started calculating Weichen, Weichen could tell SΓΉ Niangniang. In fact, having favor is not necessarily the best, if you can get the emperor's respect, in fact, what the mother asks for may not be able to be achieved. β
An Sui glanced at her belly, "If it's for Niangniang's child, this principle is even more applicable." The child in the mother's womb is also the emperor's child, and the emperor naturally can't sit idly by. β
"But it's too late to say this, isn't it? The emperor must have thought that the palace was a scheming person with a deep understanding of the city. Concubine Ban still said what she wanted to say the most, "Now, is Lord An still willing to help the palace?" β
An Sui shook his head, "Whether it was in the past or now, Weichen will not help. To be honest, although Weichen, as a female official, also calls the concubines of the harem as the master, but Weichen's serious master is only the emperor. The emperor is not unaware of the movement and filthiness in the harem, in short, it is better to do it himself! β
An got up casually and said goodbye to the Chengqian Palace, without even looking back.
But that night, Ji Xuanyuan ordered Ban Gui Concubine to sleep, but no one knew what happened in Chengqian Palace, only that Ban Gui Concubine offended Ji Xuanyuan. Ji Xuanyuan deprived her of her position on the spot on the grounds that the noble concubine was out of order, demoted to the fourth grade of the ceremony, banned from the Chengqian Palace, and was not allowed to go out unless the edict was issued.
There are two concubines living in Chengqian Palace, one is Ban Chongyi and the other is Sun Guiren. Now that the two of them have been grounded, not only have the palace begun to discuss, this Chengqian Palace seems to have been unfavorable for a long time, starting from the Qian nobles who began with the first emperor, but all the masters who live in the Qianzheng Palace seem to be extraordinarily troubled.
Of course, this is gossip.
For Ban Chongyi, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. One is for demotion and the other is for the child in the womb. In the harem, concubines of the third rank and above can become the head of the first palace and be in charge of the affairs of the first palace. Only the child born from the main throne can stay by his side to raise, if it is not the main throne, it is just a princess who was born, and most of the intercession can be raised by himself, but if he is born with a prince, he must not stay by his side, and the emperor and queen must choose an adoptive mother with a relatively noble background and a relatively high position for the prince.
Ban Chongyi originally had the capital to compete with Concubine Xian when she was still a concubine, but now, she doesn't even have the position of a concubine, and this child can't keep it.
When An Sui heard the news, he couldn't express his emotion, in fact, Concubine Ban was also a poor person.
