Chapter 16: The Dust Settles

"Qing Shuyi treats people sincerely, simple and lovely, and is a rare good person." Concubine Ling said.

"Good people in the palace? Anyone can be, anyone can be not, Concubine Ling should not be self-righteous, she Qing Shuyi can not fight or not to rob, it does not mean that the people behind her do not fight. People are grown, and Concubine Ling is so self-conscious. The emperor was expressionless, Concubine Ling was afraid that she couldn't help but argue with him again if she continued to talk about it, so she took her leave.

The emperor remembered what Concubine Lin had done, and before the child was born, Qiao Molan was worried about snatching other people's children, and she was very angry. Privately ordered the inner palace maid in Zhaoyang Palace to put something in the tonic of Concubine Lin, as for what it was, even the inner line himself didn't know, and this order was also passed on by Huaxin.

Not long after, Qing Shuyi gave birth, a white and tender baby girl, obediently in the arms of the nursing mother, asleep, looking at the child very well-behaved. The emperor gave the name Xiyue, Xi, and the auspicious meaning of harmony, and Qing Shuyi was naturally very grateful.

But a few days later, a person from Chengqian Palace unexpectedly came and asked to see Concubine Ling. It turned out to be Qing Shuyi.

"My sister says hello to my sister." Qing Shuyi knelt down, her voice was weak, Concubine Ling had not recovered from production for a few days, and she didn't care.

"You just gave birth, why did you come to Chengqian Palace at this time, it's not good to fall into the root of the disease, sister be careful." Concubine Ling said.

"Now that Xi'er has just been born, now Concubine Lin has summoned her sister and asked to raise Xi'er, how can my sister be willing, begging Niang Niang to get an idea." Qing Shuyi said.

"Get up, it's not good for your health to get cold on your knees."

"No."

After taking a seat, Scarlet Chun served tea to Qing Shuyi, and suddenly found that there was a palace maid standing next to Concubine Ling, who was very familiar with the emperor's aunt, and suddenly felt a little relieved.

"The last time my sister begged my sister, the emperor didn't agree, so my sister shouldn't blame my sister. Although General Yao has been dismissed, the new commander Jiang Yan is a subordinate of General Yao, and this time the emperor has saved the Yao family, which is also in line with his sister's heart. My sister is a palace concubine in the palace for a day, so she should know that the former dynasty and the harem are linked to each other and are closely related. Now that Concubine Lin is doing things, the emperor naturally knows that her sister is relaxed. Concubine Ling said, "Now that my sister has a child, she should also plan for the child." ”

"What do you mean, sister?" It was a bit tedious to listen to, but she still understood what Concubine Ling meant, and asked her not to be too greedy.

"It's nothing, in the final analysis, what the emperor hopes most is the unity of the harem, if anyone deliberately does ghosts, the emperor will not spare him." Concubine Ling said.

"Now my sister is difficult to protect herself, if the child is taken away by Concubine Lin, she will not live. My sister's father was dismissed, the family's property was confiscated, and now the Yao family is an empty shelf, what can I do," Qing Shuyi said.

"Now that my sister knows, let's go back for the time being, my sister believes that the emperor will make a fair judgment. As for the child, if you delay with Concubine Lin for a few days, what can she do when the emperor decrees it? ”

Hearing that Concubine Ling was so confident, Qing Shuyi glanced at the painting heart before leaving.

"The slave has something unclear, please tell the mother." Huaxin, who had not spoken all the time, opened her mouth, Concubine Ling was a little surprised, looking at her calm expression, her face was as heavy as water: "My aunt is the emperor's person, please speak."

"Why can Niangniang conclude that the emperor will not let Concubine Lin raise the second princess?" Drawing Heart said.

"The emperor is the king of all vehicles, who can override the emperor and influence the emperor's will?" Concubine Ling smiled lazily, and the infinite elegance swept all over her body, although her clothes were shallow, it was difficult to hide the brilliance of her body.

She looked at the osmanthus tree outside the window, and now the osmanthus flowers bloomed later than last year, but they were also disturbed and prosperous. Huaxin looked at her, with envy and jealousy: "Niangniang's elegance is also very beautiful." ”

"Thank you." A lazy sentence, but it is a pearl and jade words, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

Outside Cining Palace, the queen was dressed in an apricot yellow and nine phoenix courtdress, and a dignified and atmospheric makeup, Aunt Ning had already let people inform, and after waiting for a long time, the queen mother allowed the queen to enter the palace.

The Queen Mother was dressed in regular clothes, and she didn't like it when she saw the queen in a formal dress, but she also patiently asked the queen what was going on.

"The concubine heard that Sister Mo Lan likes Qing Shuyi's second princess very much, so it is better to let Sister Mo Lan raise it on her behalf, what does the Queen Mother think?" The queen asked, in an unusually deferential tone.

"Why did the queen mention this today, the mourning family heard that Qing Shuyi and Concubine Ling were friends, and now they have moved to Chengqian Palace, the queen shouldn't know, right?" The Queen Mother put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked the old lady beside her to put them away.

"What's so difficult about this, Yao Zifang is no longer a general of the chariot and cavalry, the Yao family has already raided the house, if Qing Shuyi's child is not adopted by Sister Mo Lan, how can her child have a good future. Now if it is adopted, she can be promoted to Qing Shuyi as Zhaoyi, so that Qing Shuyi will not say anything again, if she agrees herself, it will be useless for Concubine Ling to make a stalk. The queen said.

"In this way, the queen has thought it through." The Queen Mother just wanted to say something more, when she heard the maid come to report that the emperor was coming. Just about to announce, the emperor has already come in.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is blessed." The emperor saluted.

"The emperor is free today, but now that you and the queen are here, it's rare." The Queen Mother quipped.

"Today, the son asked the queen mother for a favor and asked Concubine Ling to raise the second princess. What does the queen think. The emperor said

"Concubine Ling herself has two children, and it is inconvenient to raise the second princess." The queen said lightly, not approving. The emperor didn't care, and continued: "The former Xianling Empress An raised the heirs born to many concubines, and even I was raised by the Xianling Queen, and now that Concubine Ling's two sons have been enrolled, it is even more possible to raise the second princess, not to mention that Qing Shuyi has moved into the side hall of Chengqian Palace yesterday, which is more convenient to take care of the second princess." ”

"Concubine Ling murdered Yanshun people last time and caused Yanshun people to have a miscarriage, how could she raise the second princess with her heart, the emperor laughed." The Queen Mother was very unhappy when she heard the emperor mention the Empress Xianling, how could her emperor be bewitched by the An family, it was really sad.

"An's is the queen, and it is in accordance with etiquette to raise many concubines and heirs, but Concubine Ling is just a second-grade concubine, which is even more unetiquette." The Queen Mother said, although her voice was soft, the heaviness in her tone made her heart tremble.

"I immediately named the Ling family as the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine is the same as the deputy queen, raising the imperial heir is in line with the etiquette system, not to mention that the last time the sons had already found out the truth, Yanshun people plotted to buy the dancing girl to assassinate the sons, and also had a miscarriage to blame the imperial concubine, forced the imperial doctor to death, and killed Scarlet Winter, the crime is clear, and the heavens are intolerable. Yeonshun is clean even when he dies. After the emperor finished speaking, the queen's heart jumped suddenly, and her face sank like water, the queen mother closed her eyes and was silent, the queen thought that the queen mother could take the opportunity to say that she could raise herself and look forward to it, but it was just a princess.

The next day, the emperor announced the restoration of the Ling family's imperial concubine position and raised the second princess Xilan. Qing Shuyi was in a good mood, instead of handing over the child to Concubine Lin, it was better to bring the child under her nose, and she could also take advantage of the situation to move to the Imperial Concubine's Chengqian Palace.

This announcement made the situation in the palace even more unclear. I thought that the emperor was disgusted with the Ling family, but I didn't expect to restore the throne and raise the second princess.

The queen summoned Concubine Ning.
