Chapter 146: The Position of the Noble Concubine
After returning to Xianfu Palace, Ruyi told all the things that Wang promised to the cuttlefish, the cuttlefish felt shocked, and did not expect that Wang Promise, who got along day and night, had a heart of revenge, and they were commensurate with sisters in recent years, and the friendship was extraordinary, but it was only now that she learned that she had been being used.
Wang promised not only to use the cuttlefish, but also almost killed her in the Zongren Mansion, which really made her feel cold.
"All these years of affection have been fed to the dog, and from now on I will never have her as a friend again!" The cuttlefish clenched his fists and sighed heartbreakingly.
Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the news of Wang's death, "Master, Wang promised to have committed suicide by taking poison." ”
"What?" Surprised, the cuttlefish retorted, "She killed herself?" ”
Only then did the cuttlefish react, no wonder the emperor did not interrogate Wang and agreed, it turned out that she was no longer there.
Ruyi nodded, although she hated Wang for agreeing to be unkind, but she couldn't help but feel sympathy, thinking that she had endured humiliation and burdens for six years in order to take revenge, and her life must have been very hard.
The cuttlefish sat down weakly, and his eyes fell on the eyebrows on the side, which Wang promised to give to her by hand, saying that the eyebrows were lighter than ordinary eyebrows, and the eyebrows drawn could be softer and gentle.
There were a lot of things in this room that Wang promised to send, in addition to Meidai, there was also the ancient book with pictures, the small wooden figure on the table, the red hairpin in the makeup box, and the gauze skirt sewn with golden silk peony......
The cuttlefish's heart was not a taste, she raised her hand and knocked over her eyebrows, and she couldn't hear any emotion in her voice, "Ruyi, as long as it is something she sent in Xianfu Palace, all of them will be taken out and burned, and none of them will be left." ”
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "...... are you?" ”
"Her stuff is only in my way, and the past is like the wind. Just because I have never known her, don't mention anything related to Wang in front of me in the future. ”
The cuttlefish said, turned around and walked to the bed, after such a toss. She had to get a good night's sleep and leave all the unpleasantness in her dreams...... After a night's sleep, it's a new day.
Ruyi had no choice but to obey the order, and threw away everything that should be thrown away with Qingluo, and burned everything that should be burned. After cleaning up, there was no trace of Wang Promise in the Xianfu Palace, as if this person had never appeared.
For the next few days, the cuttlefish was grounded and couldn't go out, so she simply stayed inside the house to write and paint, oblivious to what was happening outside. It is said that practicing calligraphy can calm the mind, so whenever she thinks of the troubles of the past, she will pick up the pen and ink and practice for a while.
One day, the cuttlefish was sitting at the table practicing calligraphy, and Ruyi was grinding for her. Suddenly, Shungui rushed in, as if he had something to say, he looked at the cuttlefish's pale face, and the words came to his lips and he held back.
"What's the matter, Shungui, you're talking." The cuttlefish glanced at him, lowered his head and wrote earnestly.
What she is writing now is the word "humble", humble has the meaning of humility, and I think that the emperor named her a humble concubine, that is, she was praised for her humble and thrifty, so she was specially given this title.
Shungui was a little depressed. He whispered, "The slave knows that the master is too lazy to listen to the idle things outside, but now there is a big event in the palace, and you must need to know." He paused. continued, "This morning, Concubine Xi was promoted to a concubine by the emperor, and from now on, she will have to be called Concubine Xi." ”
As soon as these words came out, the cuttlefish's hand suddenly stopped. The nib of the pen remained on the paper, and the ink quickly soaked a small piece, leaving a black spot on the otherwise delicate handwriting.
How could Concubine Xi suddenly be promoted to a noble concubine, and why did the emperor do this?
Puzzled, the cuttlefish asked, "Where did you hear that?" This is a sure thing, and there will be no more accidents? ”
Shungui sighed, "Now everyone in the palace knows that Gonggong Su went to Jingren Palace to announce the decree, this is the emperor's order, and naturally it will not be withdrawn." ”
The cuttlefish dropped the brush in her hand, the ink splashed on the table, and there was a little anger between her eyebrows, I don't know if it was in Concubine Qi Xi or in the Emperor Qi.
Thinking of that day, Concubine Xi wanted to treat her to death, and then thinking about the infinite scenery of Concubine Xi now, the cuttlefish is really uneasy.
"Why do you want to seal her all of a sudden?" The cuttlefish was very annoyed, "With her virtue, she is not worthy of being a concubine at all!" ”
Shungui comforted, "The servant heard that it is not that the emperor wants to promote Concubine Xi, this matter seems to be related to the fourth elder brother Hongli. There are only two princes left under the emperor's knees, although he has not established a prince for a long time, but it is obviously the fourth elder brother who is much more likely to inherit the throne, a few days ago, the ministers mentioned this matter, saying that Concubine Xi is the mother of the fourth elder brother, and she is in charge of the harem for the emperor, so that when the fourth elder brother inherits the unification in the future, the mother's identity is more noble and can also be beneficial to him. ”
Cuttlefish couldn't help but feel ridiculous after hearing this, she snorted coldly, "Since it's for the fourth elder brother, wouldn't it be more noble to simply raise Concubine Xi to be an imperial concubine, or even a queen?" ”
She was dissatisfied with the emperor's treatment of the femme fatale so kindly, and there was inevitably resentment in her heart, and now Concubine Xi has already held power and rampant in the harem, if she becomes a concubine again, then she will only be more unscrupulous.
Shungui looked at the cuttlefish and said in a low voice, "Actually, there was originally a minister who proposed that the emperor should appoint Concubine Xi as the queen, but the emperor remembered his affection for the late queen and refused to let others sit on the throne, so he made her a concubine first, and the rest of the things will be talked about later." ”
"Later? What else is there to say in the future! Isn't it possible to let her be promoted step by step until her son ascends the throne and becomes the queen mother?! ”
The cuttlefish shouted angrily, and overturned the table in front of her, her face clouded with anger.
Ruyi hurriedly picked up the things on the ground and persuaded her not to be angry, this kind of thing can't be heard by others, once the emperor knows it, it won't be good.
Where can the cuttlefish take care of so much, she can't help but think that in the future, if Hongli really succeeds to the throne, Concubine Xi will naturally become the queen mother, and without the protection of the emperor, she will definitely not be able to fight Concubine Xi, she will only become a fish on the board, waiting to be slaughtered by Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi has long wanted to get rid of the cuttlefish, but she has failed to do so these three times, and she must be full of hatred in her heart, but I am afraid that if she really becomes the queen mother as she wishes in the future, she will definitely not let go of the cuttlefish.
Thinking of the tragic situation that she would be tortured by Concubine Xi, the cuttlefish couldn't help but shudder, she kept shaking her head, reminding herself: No, you must not let Concubine Xi get her wish, and she can't be allowed to live to be the queen mother! (To be continued.) )
