Chapter Forty-Seven: The Empress Visits the Hall of Incense at Night
The hearts of the people in the palace are like the wind yesterday and tonight, saying that it has changed, the weather has become cooler, but the light yarn of the incense hall has been replaced with a simple silk curtain, fortunately, Aunt Ning sometimes sent a few palace maids to Ning Guiyi to send some food and clothing, although there is no favor, but the queen still did not leave Ning Guiyi.
Song Xiangya was dressed in a plain palace robe, her hair was lightly pulled and only a plain hairpin was missing, and there were gold bead earrings swaying in her ears, and her face was delicate and pale, with a little sickness.
"Qi'er, have you been in contact with Yan Qiu again recently? If you are willing to help this concubine, it is still okay for this concubine to promote you to be a maid. If she gives birth to an heir, she may be able to jump on the branch and become a phoenix. The concubine has lost the emperor's favor, and the emperor is just tired of the palace. Hehe, maybe the emperor still retains this noble position for the concubine is for the sake of the face of the Yuan Emperor's concubine," Song Xiangya picked up the soft chin of the chess, looked at the clear eyes flashing with incomprehension and panic, and said coldly, "You are still young, only fifteen years old, and you will have a lot of youth to compete for favor in the future, if you wait for the rookie to enter the palace, maybe it will be too late." β
The chess pieces were firmly restrained by Ning Guiyi, and a pair of big apricot kernel eyes were full of fear: "Miss, let Qi'er go, the chess doesn't want to be a concubine, and I beg Miss to be fulfilled." β
Pain and fear pierced her heart like a thorn full of spikes, and she wanted to leave this place of fear immediately.
"Or an ambitious girl who wants to be a concubine? The concubine is the master of the first palace from the second grade, does she want to replace the Empress Dowager Xianling like the Empress Dowager Xianhui? The strength in his hand increased, the chess piece's painful eyes were closed, a pair of eyes were full of tears, and his chest rose and fell slightly because of fear.
At this time, the palace maid came to report: "The queen mother is here." β
Ning Guiyi panicked in her heart, and quickly knelt down, the queen was dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, a pair of Bodhi pearls hung on her chest, green silk was high, and a golden hairpin with a phoenix holding beads on the cloud bun flashed with a luxurious light, her face was calm, and there were no waves in the ancient well.
For two quarters of an hour, Ning Guiyi didn't hear the queen's call, and couldn't help but feel worried, although his position was the grace given to him by the Yuan Emperor's concubine, it was better to say that it was the queen.
"Ning Guiyi, what's the matter, I can hear you shouting here before I come in the palace. You are now also in the position of Guiyi, the mother of the third son of the emperor, such an identity should be correct, how can you win the emperor's heart if you are so impatient? The queen said coldly, looking at Ning Guiyi's swaying appearance, she couldn't help frowning.
Ning Guiyi secretly looked at the queen's face, and said cautiously: "The concubine is just to punish the maid."
The queen raised her eyebrows, looked at the soft little figure on the side, and a smile swam on her lips: "Since this is the case, it is Ning Guiyi's fault, how many pairs of eyes are staring at my sister in this palace, and my sister can still send slaves and maids with such fanfare, so that the emperor knows, she will definitely think that her sister is not a lenient woman, and if she hurts the relationship between her sister and the emperor, isn't it that my sister moved a stone and hit her own feet?" β
Ning Guiyi kowtowed again and again: "The concubine remembers my sister's teachings."
The queen waved away the others, only the queen was left in this hall, Ning Guiyi, Aunt Ning, the queen was dignified as water, and a delicate face smiled lightly: "Ning Guiyi knows that she is wrong, get up, these days the Ministry of Affairs has newly entered the Honghu incense, this taste is the most elegant, more elegant than my sister's orchid fragrance is a hundred times more elegant, my sister is really a blessing, the emperor thinks that my sister is the mother of the third prince and still thinks about my sister, this palace let Aunt Ning bring it to you, you use it first, this thing is good, you must not let others know, Maybe because of this emperor, he will remember his sister's goodness and regain his favor. β
Ning Guiyi got up slowly: "The concubine thanked Niangniang." β
Queen Wan'er: "You are the younger sister of the palace, and there are three princes under Chenghuan, and my sister can only rely on my sister." β
Ning Guiyi remembered Yao Shunren's lifting of the ban, and hurriedly asked: "Concubine Yao lifted the ban and regained the emperor's favor, how could the emperor suddenly do this?" β
The queen's phoenix eyes were evil, and her red lips were tightly pursed: "Maybe it has something to do with the imperial concubine, after all, Concubine Yao and the imperial concubine are more affectionate, and now the shape is not good for us, and the emperor is also dissatisfied with the palace because of your business, so it is difficult for my sister these days, and the weather has turned cold and I have not added a quilt to my sister." Now that the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, it is really happy, my sister doesn't know, the imperial concubine has the identity of a phoenix life overlord, and the one who wins the imperial concubine wins the world. It was also because of this rumor that the emperor suddenly ordered the Ling family, who was still the fiancΓ©e of King Ning at the time, to enter the palace. The phoenix seat in this palace is also the imperial concubine to sit on. β
Ning Guiyi listened to what the queen said, although she was a little skeptical, but the queen didn't have to lie to herself, but thinking about the child who left her for no reason, she still had a jealousy of the queen in her heart, and asked with a frown: "Why did my sister say that my sister stole my sister's goldfinch bowl that day, but my sister has never seen the goldfinch bowl, and it's strange to say it, the concubine just kicked that day, and the emperor's heir is gone, it's a pity." "The Plantagenet is only the queen and the Queen Mother can use the regulation, because there is a magical golden peacock and famous, the peacock is generally not unfolded phoenix tail, once the tea is poured, but the tail screen will be unfolded, such a delicate thing is lost, the palace is also annoyed, and later I heard that the sister palace also appeared in the Plantagenet, the palace will naturally think so, but the Queen Mother told the palace that her Plantagenet was accidentally broken by the personal maid, so the personal maid bought the palace of the palace people to take the palace of the palace to the queen mother's palace, the gorse in the palace has not been used for many years, and it is as new as the old. And the Queen Mother's Gorse is because the Queen Mother likes Biluochun, which kind of tea is soaked in the Gorse and leaves a layer of traces, which can't be wiped off no matter how you wipe it. The queen mother later learned about this and blamed the maid again, and told the palace again, and the palace only wronged her sister, so she was very kind to her sister. The queen said, and Fusu, who helped her sideburns, was quite apologetic.
Seeing that Ning Guiyi was silent, her beautiful eyes were all gloomy, knowing that it was for the imperial heir, the queen sneered in her heart, but her face was completely unmoved: "My sister's child is also because of this palace, this palace didn't take good care of my sister, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Chengqian Palace, it's really sentimental." However, the palace has indeed found out that your green jade bodhisattva has been poisoned, but the person who poisoned it has not been found, maybe it is because of the one in the Chengqian Palace. β
Ning Guiyi's face turned pale, and she couldn't speak, the queen saw that she was thinking deeply, so she didn't speak, and when Ning Guiyi came to her senses, the queen had already left.
