Chapter 55: Giving Favors
"Niangniang, Manager Zhao just sent a message, saying that the emperor is coming soon, let Niangniang prepare. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"The eunuch, the leader of the Jianfu Palace, came in and sent a message to Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan was very anxious when she heard this, she had been looking for all kinds of reasons to avoid seeing Bai Yi in the past few days, and now she really didn't know how to shirk it, and she didn't want Bai Yi to see her hands and feet.
"Sister, why don't you lie down on the bed." Tong Guiren saw that Concubine Lan had no opinion, so he thought of a way for her.
Concubine Lan didn't think much about it, so she hurriedly lay down on the bed, and Concubine Lan covered the quilt when she heard Bai Yi's voice, "Concubine Lan is uncomfortable again?" ”
"Your Majesty." Bai Yi had already come in while speaking, and her originally angry face turned into worry, Concubine Lan's heart was very warm, and Tong Guiren also saluted Bai Yi in a decent manner.
Bai Yi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Concubine Lan, "It seems that she is really sick, has it been passed on to the imperial doctor?" You have to take care of your body quickly, you can't hunt without your mother! ”
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubine is fine, I drank a bowl of ginger soup just now, and it is good to cover my sweat." Concubine Lan is more and more eager to see this face from time to time, but she doesn't dare to take a second look, she is afraid that she is also a greedy person, her favor came so suddenly, if she suddenly fell out of favor one day, how could she bear it.
Bai Yi nodded, and tucked the quilt for Concubine Lan, Tong Guiren had been standing beside him, and he couldn't turn a blind eye, so he said, "You are also here." ”
"When my sister was sick, my concubine often came to see my sister." Tong Guiren was solemn and said without hurrying or slowing.
Concubine Lan hurriedly echoed the words of the noble Tong, and her tone was full of gratitude, "Your Majesty, the noble sister has been taking care of the concubines all the time." ”
Bai Yi was surprised when he heard it, according to the character of the Tong nobleman, it would be good not to find fault with the thorns, and take care of Concubine Lan, he thought so in his heart, he was still a little ashamed, what if the Tong nobleman really changed his temperament after what happened last time? "Well, it's good that you have such a heart."
When Concubine Lan saw Bai Yi's praise for the noble Tong, she had an idea in her heart, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine can't serve you when you come, so it's better for you to go to the noble sister and sit down." Concubine Lan thinks that according to the temper of the Tong nobles, even if Bai Yi goes to her palace, she will definitely complain a lot, and when the time comes, Bai Yi will not be angry with Tong Guiren, so that Concubine Lan will win the favor of the Tong nobles, and Bai Yi will not favor her.
Tong Guiren was already very happy to see Bai Yi, but she didn't expect Concubine Lan to take the initiative to help her, which made her a little unable to see Concubine Lan's intentions, Concubine Lan's move was either to help her sincerely, or she was a fool, but when the opportunity came, she would not let it go easily, and hurriedly said: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but the emperor is worried about his sister, how can he bear to leave his sister." ”
Bai Yi watched them push him around like an object, which made him irritable, he was already depressed in his heart, and seeing that Tong Guiren was much more humble than before, he said: "That's it, it seems that Concubine Lan is really uncomfortable, I can't rest well if I leave her, let's go, I may not have been to your palace for a long time, go and see." ”
"In that case, then my sister will have a good rest." Tong Guiren suppressed the jubilation in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said goodbye to Concubine Lan.
When Concubine Lan saw Bai Yi standing up and going out, a trace of reluctance rose in her heart, but she still nodded and said with a smile: "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”
Tong Guiren followed Bai Yi out, and as soon as the two walked out, the palace maid who was waiting on the side frowned and knelt down and said: "Niangniang is confused, how can such an opportunity be given to Tong Guiren plainly, if Tong Guiren really gets the emperor's favor in one fell swoop, does Niangniang think that Tong Guiren will treat Niangniang as well as Niangniang?" These are the heartfelt words of the slave and the maid, that is, the mother punishes the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid have to say. ”
Concubine Lan didn't blame the palace maid this time, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed to help the palace maid, and said: "This palace knows your thoughts, and this palace has also thought about it, according to the character of the noble Tong, do you think the emperor will favor her?" She will not turn her face with the palace if she is not powerful, you also know that the emperor is only looking for the palace because he is in a bad mood, if the palace refuses the emperor three or four times, the emperor will definitely find other concubines, there is no shortage of powerful people in this palace, but Tong nobles are the least threatening to us. ”
The palace maid listened to Concubine Lan's words, thought about it carefully, and said with confidence: "Niangniang Shengming, if the emperor goes to find Concubine Jing or other concubines again, then our life will not be easy." "The way the nobles are like, even if they raise her by Concubine Lan, I'm afraid it will be empty joy.
Bai Yi was depressed all the way, and he didn't laugh with Tong Guiren, in order to make him happy, Tong Guiren had nothing to do to find a topic, "Your Majesty, the second prince is really fast, when the weather is still hot, the second prince can't walk, and he has already started to run in the blink of an eye." ”
When Bai Yi saw that Tong Guiren was talking about his son, he also put the unpleasant things behind for the time being, "Yes, Yong Hunt can also walk, time flies really slowly!" ”
"There is a new dog in the concubine's palace, with snow-white fur, very cute, and chubby, especially like a ball of cotton." Tong Guiren didn't understand Bai Yi's words, obviously saying that time was fast, but why did she say it slowly, but she didn't bother with these, she had to take advantage of the opportunity.
Bai Yi has been swayed by that kind of depressed mood for more than half a month, and when he saw that Tong Guiren was trying to evacuate his mood, he was very cooperative, and said: "Okay, I want to see if it really looks like a ball of cotton, if not, I will punish you." ”
As soon as he returned to the palace, Tong Guiren immediately ordered the eunuch to bring the sleeved dog, "Your Majesty, it looks like a ball of cotton." ”
Bai Yi looked at it, it was really like, the coat was white, long fat, round, it was more appropriate to say that it was like a cotton ball, the eunuch put it on the ground, threw a small hydrangea to it, and it splashed it happily, such a cute little thing, if you want to send two to the princess, I don't know how much I like it, "Where did this dog come from?"
"The emperor likes it? There are eight or nine dogs in a litter, these are all bred by the concubine's younger brother, and only one is given to the concubine, if the emperor likes it, the concubine asks people to send two more," Tong Guiren wondered in his heart, Bai Yi wanted this dog to do something, this dog is petite, it is most suitable for women to raise and have fun, should I not want to give it to other women, "However, if the emperor wants to tame it for hunting, I am afraid it will not work." ”
Bai Yi finally grinned and said, "I want it to hunt?" I'm afraid it will become prey then, and I think the princess will like it, and I want two of them for her to keep and play with. ”
