Chapter 19: The Queen's Scheming
Kunning Palace.
The incense burner is filled with an elegant fragrance, deep to the bone. The queen stroked the delicate bracelet on the jade wrist, and every point of the pattern was impeccable. It was given by the Queen Mother a few days ago.
The queen thought of Concubine Lin, who was so charming and lovely, and snorted coldly. Aunt Ning asked the queen if she wanted to help a group of Concubine Lin, the queen snorted coldly, and Aunt Ning saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly stopped talking.
"Since the Queen Mother wants to make Concubine Lin favored, the palace is willing to sell the Queen Mother's face." The main thing is that because of the last draft, the Queen Mother has already seized the handle of the queen.
The Queen Mother is already old, let her be beautiful in this life, and the future will depend on her Qiao Molan's creation.
The queen still remembered the stupid things Qiao Molan did back then, which was a pain in her heart.
The queen instructed Aunt Ning to dress up and go to the Zhaoyang Palace to see the incomparably noble Concubine Lin. Aunt Ning promised.
Zhaoyang Palace is still as usual, the queen can't remember the last time she came, seeing the palace maid saluting honestly, the queen smiled coldly: "This little palace maid in Zhaoyang Palace is so interesting." ”
When Concubine Lin learned that the queen was coming, she naturally dressed up to greet her, not to mention the exquisite and gorgeous costumes on her body, but the red gold peacock hairpin on her head was given by the queen mother, and the queen of course praised her when she saw it. Concubine Lin naturally thanked her.
But after that, the queen was surprised to find that she hadn't seen Concubine Lin for a long time, and this Concubine Lin's figure was blessed. Concubine Lin was very displeased when she saw the queen looking her up and down.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Lin asked
"My sister has grown a lot more these days, and her sister is very envious." The queen wanted to laugh very much, but she covered her lips with a veil and was stunned that she didn't laugh.
Concubine Lin didn't think anything, and the personal maid next to her, Hong Qiang, said: "Niangniang looks better than before." ”
Concubine Lin reprimanded: "When the masters speak, how can the servants intervene." For the sake of this palace, you have been with this palace for many years, so go down and confess your guilt. ”
Hongqiang saw that Concubine Lin was angry, and hurriedly asked for mercy. The queen smiled and took Concubine Lin's hand: "My sister is still so serious, but she is just a slave, why bother hurting her body with a big liver fire." ”
Concubine Lin ordered the maids to go down, and the queen's maids also went out together and closed the palace door.
The queen glanced at the entire hall and found that these palaces in the palace, in addition to her own Kunning Palace, this Zhaoyang Palace is the largest and more luxurious, and those precious furnishings, calligraphy and paintings are more than in her own palace.
"The Queen Mother is very good to her sister." The queen's words deliberately revealed envy of points.
"The Queen Mother and her sister are aunts and nephews, so it's naturally good." Concubine Lin's words were filled with a bit of pride
The queen smiled and said: "Although the queen mother loves her sister, but she is over half a hundred years old, when can she shelter her sister?" ”
Listening to the queen's words, Concubine Lin was very resentful, but she didn't have a seizure, and she also knew how much damage she had caused to the queen.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the queen opened her lips slowly: "You and I are both childless people, if you don't have support in the future, this day is really difficult." ”
Concubine Lin Guifei heard the meaning of the queen and asked: "Sister queen, it's all my sister's fault, my sister has been praying for her sister in the West Palace for three years over the years, and my sister is in her prime, and she can conceive the emperor's heir regularly." ”
The queen shook her head: "Sister, that's all in the past, it's my sister's life, my sister admits it, but my sister is different, my sister is the queen, and the sons of the palace concubines are all my sister's children, and my sister." ”
Concubine Lin's heart was shocked, and she burst into tears: "It is also my sister's retribution, my sister did something wrong back then, and God came to punish my sister." ”
"Sister, don't cry, it's the right thing to have an heir as soon as possible." The queen said, with a worried look, Concubine Lin didn't know if it was fake, and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"My sister is also taking the tonic sent to the palace by her mother, saying that she can conceive a dragon." Concubine Lin said, taking out the secret recipe.
The queen unfolded it and saw that it was exactly the same as Yanshunren's recipe. I'm afraid that Concubine Lin told a lie.
"My sister is so fat, it's better to let the imperial doctor see what's wrong with this secret recipe." The queen comforted Concubine Lin, "I've suffered you for so many years, the West Palace is desolate, and your sister knows it." ”
The imperial physician rushed over, and the queen ordered someone to put a beaded curtain on Concubine Lin, and the imperial physician received the silk thread for diagnosing the pulse.
The queen glanced at Concubine Lin and asked the imperial doctor, "How is Concubine Lin's health?" ”
The imperial doctor said: "Concubine Lin's body is a little swollen because she doesn't move around often. ”
The queen took out the prescription and showed it to the imperial doctor, who unfolded it, looked at it, and told the two masters: "This prescription is an excellent tonic, and it is very beneficial to women." ”
Concubine Lin asked anxiously: "Doctor Tai, can this recipe conceive a child?" ”
The imperial doctor's face changed, and he knelt down: "The prescription is a good prescription, as for whether you can conceive, you still need the cooperation of the mother and the emperor." Speaking of this, it was inconvenient for the imperial doctor to continue, and the queen made a look and asked the imperial doctor to go down.
"Sister, can this recipe get pregnant?" Concubine Lin looked at her, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and I felt pity.
"My sister still needs to use it first, these days, my sister will say a few kind words for my sister, and let the emperor come to Zhaoyang Palace a few more times," the queen stroked Concubine Lin's jade hand, "We can't cheapen those little hooves." ”
Concubine Lin had no choice but to give up.
The queen walked out of Zhaoyang Palace, saw the imperial doctor waiting in a secluded place, retreated the others, and asked, "You tell the truth to the palace, how is Concubine Lin's health?" ”
The imperial doctor knelt on the ground: "The prescription used by Concubine Lin is a recipe that is very easy to conceive, but this kind of forced conception will make Concubine Lin's body loss, and after pregnancy, the fetus absorbs the strength of the mother, and can only keep the fetus when it comes to delivery, because it will lead to dystocia and even blood collapse." ”
When the queen heard this, she felt a little more happy: "In this case, you go down, you can't tell outsiders at this time, and later the palace will send something to your house." ”
The Imperial Physician promised.
If Qiao Molan can live well after giving birth to a child, then she is too sorry for the emperor who was killed by her before she was born.
