Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wishful Thinking
There is no shortage of delicate faces in the harem, and there are always people who are snubbed and favored. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuxiao Palace successfully alarmed the two most powerful people in the palace that night, Emperor Xuan and the Empress were not yet hot in Dexi Palace, and they were immediately invited to Yuxiao Palace to see the concubine Rong who had a stomachache. Emperor Xuan had just lost a dragon fetus, and when he heard that Concubine Rong was also happy, the sadness was diluted a lot, and he also cherished Concubine Rong's fetus, but what Concubine Rong asked for was almost unacceptable.
Yuxiao Palace has once again become the most eye-catching place in the harem, Rong Concubine's arrogance in the past, at this moment has also become the concubines' praise of everyone's demeanor, every day someone in Jingyang Palace after asking for peace do not forget to go to Yuxiao Palace to report again, Rong Concubine is finally arrogant, there is a father in the court to support herself, and the harem has a dragon fetus in the belly to fight for herself, such as a concubine? It's just a small sparrow of yesteryear.
Ji Concubine didn't think so, and said to Concubine Rong with a light smile: "Sister, don't forget, although the dragon seed in the concubine's belly is gone, there is a more threatening weapon than the dragon seed by her side." ”
She is actually half a year older than Concubine Rong, but she surrendered her identity and called Concubine Rong her sister, obviously in order to better form an alliance with the Yang family. Rong Concubine has been proud of the spring breeze recently, lying on the chaise longue, squinting her eyes, lazy like a cat basking in the sun in the spring, hearing Ji Concubine's warning, she smiled disapprovingly: "If you don't mention this stubble, I almost forgot, more than three months ago, my uncompetitive brother somehow fell in love with her sister, and actually took a leave of absence from the sister-in-law at home, and asked his father to help him go to the Shen family to ask for relatives, so he came to me, and asked me to ask the emperor to point him this family business." ”
Ji Concubine said with a smile: "That being the case, why don't my sister be adults, not only fulfill the wish of my mother's brother, but also solve a potential threat to us, after all, as long as the emperor thinks about her for a day, the Shen family may take advantage of her momentum to stand up again." ”
Although Concubine Rong was also willing to get rid of Su Yichen, when Concubine Ji said this, she obviously didn't like to hear it: "Are you exalting her too much?!" This palace is not Zhao Deyi, and she also deserves to be a threat to this palace?! It's ten concubines, and the palace doesn't take it seriously! ”
"Of course my sister knows that my sister's beauty and intelligence are above the two of them, and my sister was born a few years later, otherwise, I don't know who is sitting in that high position now?!" If she opened her eyes at this time, she would definitely be able to see the mockery floating at the corner of Ji Concubine's mouth, but the mockery quickly disappeared into a smile full of sincerity: "But sister, don't forget, the fall of the Shen family, to put it bluntly, your father has contributed a lot, if you save the lives of the Shen family, maybe one day it will become a disaster, it is better to solve one as soon as possible." You beg the emperor to marry her to Young Master Zongqi, according to my sister, it is the best way to kill two birds with one stone. ”
"That's right, then the palace will help my brother this time, so that he won't have to complain." Concubine Rong opened her eyes, looked at Concubine Ji and said, "My sister seems to be very jealous of this little fox, could it be that there is something else here that the palace doesn't know?!" ”
Concubine Ji smiled lightly: "Sister thinks too much, don't you know the purpose of my sister's entry into the palace?" I don't have the idea of competing for favor, but as soon as I see the Shen family, I can't wait to crush their bones and scatter ashes to comfort the souls of my father and brother Wang! ”
"That's good." Concubine Rong smiled proudly: "This palace will be sealed in the near future, you can rest assured, if you have this palace for a day, you will not let the surnamed Shen jump in this palace." ”
On the eve of the concubine, Emperor Xuan held a banquet in the Caili Hall and invited everyone in the harem to celebrate the concubine. The palace masters who came to the banquet took turns to congratulate her and give her carefully selected gifts, and the colored glass hall looked really happy and harmonious. Concubine Rong is the protagonist tonight, and the queen is very intimate to set her seat on the left side of the emperor, almost level with herself. This position is usually reserved for Concubine Hua, but she told her in advance tonight that she would not come, and the queen arranged the seat to save a lot of worry. However, some people don't necessarily think so, for example, Concubine Rong, she has always been arrogant and domineering in the palace by relying on her father's power in the court and the emperor's favor, but only Concubine Hua, she dare not provoke easily. Don't look at her soft-spoken words and excellent temper, but when it comes to implementing the palace rules, she is really meticulous and doesn't talk about any affection.
Emperor Xuan looked in a good mood, raised his glass frequently, and specially asked his father-in-law to send his favorite dishes to Concubine Rong's bowl. However, Concubine Rong's appetite didn't seem to be very good tonight, and she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, rubbing her cheeks and forehead, and seemed to be a little tired.
Emperor Xuan quickly noticed and asked, "Why does Concubine Ai eat very little?" But not to your liking? ”
Rong Concubine Qiang smiled and shook her head: "I just haven't rested well recently, and my head hurts." ”
The queen also put down her chopsticks and said with concern: "My sister is now pregnant with a dragon heir, and her body is not sloppy, why don't you send the imperial doctor to come and have a look?" ”
Concubine Rong hurriedly stopped: "Thank you for the queen's care, the concubine is fine, and there is no need to pass on the imperial doctor." It is rare for the sisters in the palace to gather together, and they must not sweep away the Yaxing of the emperor and the sisters, and the concubines should rest for a while. ”
Aunt Xia Chun, who had been standing behind Concubine Rong, answered in a timely manner: "The slave maid has long advised Niangniang, relax, don't bother with foreign affairs, Niangniang just doesn't listen, she has always been sleepless at night recently, and she is worried during the day, how can she do it if it goes on like this?!" ”
Emperor Xuan smiled: "It turns out that Concubine Ai has troubles, let's listen to it, I will help you solve it!" ”
"Mouthy!" Concubine Rong scolded Xia Chundao, turned to face Emperor Xuan, and said apologetically: "It's just that my mother's family has been restless recently, and my brother owes peace, and I have to worry about the emperor's mother's family, and the concubine is really panicking." ”
"Oh." Emperor Xuan said: "I remember that Yang Xiang only has one son besides his concubine, could it be that something happened to him?" ”
Concubine Rong sighed faintly and said: "It's not the concubine's indisputable brother, she is a person who reads poetry and books and knows the four books and five classics, but she spends all day drinking and idle, and she runs away from her sister-in-law angrily, and her mother doesn't know how many tears she wiped behind her back." Some time ago, I didn't know what evil I fell into, I fell in love with a woman from a family, and swore that if I married that woman to him, I would follow the rules and be angry from now on, no matter how I persuaded him, it was useless, and I also suffered from lovesickness. The concubine entered the palace in her early years, and he was alone in the family under the knees of his parents. How can a concubine not be worried?! ”
Emperor Xuan laughed and said: "Such a trivial matter, what is there to worry about, which family is a woman, I will help him to marry." ”
