Chapter 33: The Chess Game

Chengqian Palace, Concubine Jing is playing chess with the imperial concubine, one step at a time is very serious, the two of them bet, if whoever wins this chess game will prepare something for the other party, and it must be something that the other party does not have.

"Sister, don't you want to know, what did the emperor ask the palace yesterday?" Concubine Jing smiled slightly, "The emperor still misses his sister, but he doesn't dare to protect his sister in public." ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "How can you have so many things, the emperor and your private conversation, this palace is not interested?" ”

Concubine Jing sneered: "Now that the emperor has lifted my sister's grounding, my sister is so unhappy, it really surprises my sister, is my sister willing to shrink in this Chengqian Palace?" ”

The imperial concubine got up and wiped her hands: "In this game, the palace lost." ”

Concubine Jing looked at the chessboard: "These things, my sister embarrassed the emperor and turned the emperor away, as a concubine, it is the first time in the ages." ”

The imperial concubine didn't answer, and said softly: "How has Sister Yao been recently, has the queen embarrassed her?" ”

Concubine Jing sighed, but said: "The queen is not embarrassed, but the talented maids around Yutai Pavilion Baolin bully Sister Yao from time to time, and Sister Yao's temperament is extremely weak, it is really worrying to see it like this." ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "My sister is not popular, take care of Sister Yao, you must know that there are only two alliances between you in this palace." ”

Concubine Jing nodded: "Naturally." ”

The imperial concubine looked at the sky outside: "Tomorrow I will go to Zhaoyang Palace with this palace, the Yuan Imperial Concubine is not very good, she is weak, if she keeps losing weight, it will definitely not be good when she gives birth." ”

Concubine Jing was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "It's still my sister who is kind." ”

"Kindness?" The imperial concubine looked at her hands playfully, "This palace just doesn't want to be trampled under your feet all the time." ”

Concubine Jing blessed her body: "My sister retired, the eldest princess should have arrived at Yilan Hall this time." ”

The imperial concubine waved her hand, and the concubine went down.

The next day, the spring and the sun are beautiful, the grass on the edge of the palace road has sprouted, and the bright dew is particularly lovely, the huge osmanthus tree has not sprouted this year for some reason, the bare trunk is very scary in this spring season, the imperial concubine sighed, and the concubine urged: "Sister or go." ”

The imperial concubine arrived at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace and instructed the palace maid to go and report.

Qiao Molan was sitting on the bed, and when she heard that the imperial concubine and Concubine Jing were coming, she hurriedly ordered someone to get up and dress up, and Hongqiang neatly brought the master a red palace dress, and carefully put on some fat powder. That's why it looks a lot more rosy.

Underneath the fat palace dress is a thin figure and a bloated belly.

Concubine Jing and Imperial Concubine came in to greet Emperor Yuan's concubine, and Qiao Molan hurriedly asked them to get up.

Sitting down, Qiao Molan smiled lightly: "Congratulations to my sister for lifting the ban." ”

The imperial concubine smiled: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, Niangniang's body is okay?" ”

Emperor Yuan's concubine frowned and lifted her swollen belly: "I will give birth in two months, but my sister is worried about her childbirth." ”

The imperial concubine comforted: "My sister is too thin, didn't the queen tell the imperial doctor to ask for the pulse of the mother sooner or later?" ”

Hongqiang on the side said: "That being said, seeing that my mother is so thin, the child in her belly is growing up day by day, if this is the case, there is a risk when giving birth............"

Emperor Yuan's concubine coughed lightly a few times and interrupted the maid: "Hongqiang, you and Lu Ping go down, and the palace and the imperial concubine will say a few words." ”

Red Rose promised to go down, and glanced back at it.

"My sister's body was caused by taking more tonic medicine last time, but this time my sister is pregnant and emaciated, and now I am more and more uneasy, and I ask the two sisters for help." Qiao Molan said, as she spoke, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Niangniang is too worried, there is the Queen Mother, who dares to go against Niangniang and murder Niangniang." Jing Concubine said.

"The body of the Queen Mother, you won't know it, one will be good, the other will be bad, if my sister does not have the support of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that she will be harmed long ago." Qiao Molan thought of Yao Shunren of Yutai Pavilion, "Now that Sister Yao is grounded in Yutai Pavilion, it is better to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to lift the ban on Sister Yao and restore her position." ”

Concubine Jing said: "Niangniang should have conditions, let's talk about it." ”

Qiao Molan's eyes were scorching with gas: "My sister suspects that the queen has set a trap on the palace, if it weren't for the queen, my sister wouldn't be in this situation." ”

The imperial concubine and Concubine Jing glanced at each other: "In this case, what are the plans of the mother?" ”

"The queen mother relies on that Aunt Ning the most," Qiao Molan said, "She knows many secrets of the queen, if she can hold her in her hands, it shouldn't be very difficult for this palace." ”

The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, but said: "Aunt Ning's popularity in Kunning Palace is excellent, if Aunt Ning is moved, it will definitely make the queen tremble, but we are likely to offend the emperor by doing this." ”

Qiao Molan sneered: "Sister still cares about the emperor's affection? Didn't my sister forget, the emperor wronged my sister and demoted my sister to a concubine, and this time I grounded my sister again, which time was not defending the queen? ”

The imperial concubine's heart was even colder: "If this is the case, although the emperor will not embarrass us because of an Aunt Ning, but with the queen and the Lin family, this plan is not very mature, and the concubines can't take risks." ”

Qiao Molan helped her nails: "In that case, my sister will go back." ”

Concubine Jing and the imperial concubine glanced at each other and retired one after another.

Qiao Molan watched the figure of the imperial concubine slowly disappear into this dim palace, held the placket tightly, her throat burned uncomfortably, she coughed lightly, but her handkerchief was stained with some red blood.

Qiao Molan closed her eyes, and tears flowed down her not full cheeks.

The emperor fed the fish in the lake on the pond, and the fish under the bridge frolicked and were happy. At this time, my heart is heavy.

"Your Majesty." But it's a painting of the heart.

"Get up, what's going on with what you really want to check?" The emperor straightened his body and asked

"Back to the emperor, the imperial concubine Niangniang went to Zhaoyang Palace with Concubine Jing yesterday." Draw your heart replied.

"How is the body of the Yuan Emperor Guifei?" The emperor asked

"The imperial doctor said that Niangniang is weak, the fetus is too big, and it is very likely to ............" Huaxin's voice became weaker and weaker, but in front of the emperor's gaze, he gritted his teeth and said the word "dystocia".

"How's the Queen? Why did the queen give the golden garnet to the queen mother, why I don't know? The emperor asked sharply

"The queen's side is well guarded, and the slaves and maids are incompetent." The heart of the painting soaked the placket with cold sweat.

"Since you can't complete the task, then I don't need to keep a waste like you." The emperor's eyes were like eagles, staring straight at the heart of the painting

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the slaves and maids who have served for many years, spare the slaves and maids. The slave is grateful to Dade. The painting heart kowtowed to the ground repeatedly, and blood oozed from his smooth forehead

"You go down and confess," the emperor looked in the direction of Cining Palace, and when Huaxin left, he muttered to himself, "Queen Mother, you can't blame the sons." ”
