Chapter Seventy-Five: The Guerga Clan
As soon as the morning dawned, the news of Haruka's heavy punishment last night spread, but before this matter could spread throughout the harem, it was suppressed by another incident.
The Lan nobles of Changchun Palace are happy!
When the cuttlefish heard about this, she was still sitting by the window holding the scroll and reading it with relish, and when she heard it, she was about to turn the page with her fingers, and her face could not hide the look of loss.
It stands to reason that it is a good thing to add a dragon heir to the palace, the emperor's heirs are thin, and there has been nothing for several years, and now that Lan Guiren is pregnant, it can really make the emperor happy for a while. But the cuttlefish's heart sank to the bottom, and she didn't have half the meaning of rejoicing for the emperor, she hoped that the emperor's heirs would prosper, but if this dragon seed could be her and the emperor's, it would be good.
When it comes to Lan Guiren, the cuttlefish can't help but think of the day when she was forced to kneel down to Lan Guiren, and was ridiculed and ridiculed.
"Lan Guiren, why is it her, it's her, Lan ......."
The cuttlefish's eyes were empty, and he muttered quietly in his mouth, and asked curiously, "Master, what did you say?" ”
"No, it's nothing, I'm just thinking that the Lan family is not favored, why did she suddenly get pregnant?" The cuttlefish came back to his senses and said casually.
As the so-called mother is expensive by her son, the heir is extremely important to the harem woman, if the fetus is a son, then the Lan nobles will inevitably be promoted and rewarded, and their status will jump from then on. But of course, the premise is that she has to give birth to a child safely and smoothly, in this palace, it is common for a concubine to have a slippery birth, I don't know if this time Lan Guiren can give birth to a dragon heir.
Ruyi picked up the conversation, "Lan's? Master, you are mistaken, Lan Guiren's surname is not Lan, but Guarjia, and the word Lan is just her title. The slave maid heard Shungui say that Lan Guiren's father was a senior official of the second grade, and her uncle was also in an important position in the court. The family background is quite prominent. ”
Guarjia is a native of Manchuria with a yellow flag, and her status is indeed much more noble than most of the Han concubines in the harem.
Ruyi thought about it and said again. "If Lan Guiren can give birth to a prince, judging from her family background, the elder brother she gave birth to can compete with the fourth elder brother, and it is uncertain whether the crown prince will belong at that time." ”
The cuttlefish sighed softly. Said helplessly, "Ruyi, don't talk nonsense, why are you still talking so far, how can we talk about the matter between the prince and the previous dynasty, you, you just have nothing to do!" I don't care if the Lan nobleman is the Lan clan or the Guerjia clan, anyway, I don't like her, and these useless things of her will not be said in my ear in the future. ”
"Okay, listen to your master. In fact, the slave maid can't get used to her, she always puts on a lofty posture by relying on her noble birth, and it makes people panic when she looks at it, she is not a peerless beauty, and she is not favored by the emperor, but she is just a shallow and mediocre nobleman, as for such a coy posture? I don't even think of her master. ”
Ruyi pouted and complained twice, with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone, and the cuttlefish couldn't help but laugh after hearing it. It turned out that Ruyi, who is gentle and sensible on weekdays, also had a poisonous tongue, but when she saw her laughing, Ruyi also pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed with her.
After the cuttlefish had laughed enough. patted his head and said suddenly, "I just remembered that Lan Guiren is pregnant, do we have to send some congratulatory gifts?" ”
mentioned this stubble, Ruyi made a bitter face. Reluctantly said, "This has to be sent, everyone sends it, and we can't lack Xianfu Palace, alas." ”
"Hate is hate, but normal etiquette can't be without, you can't ask others to say behind my back because you don't like Lan Guiren." The cuttlefish commanded, "In this case, you can pick a few things and send them to her in a while, and say that I am occasionally feeling cold, and it is not appropriate to go there in person, so as not to infect her." ”
Ruyi nodded and agreed, went to the warehouse to select for a long time, and decided to send two horses of fine fabric, plus a red ginseng.
When sending this kind of congratulatory gift, it is necessary to divide the relationship between relatives and distance, and the level of the position, the cuttlefish is only a constant presence, and these gifts are considered to be taken.
In front of Xianfu Palace is Changchun Palace, Ruyi went in and handed over the congratulatory gift to the palace maid of Lan Guiren, so she wanted to go back, but she didn't expect that Lan Guiren stopped her and asked her to come in and talk.
Although Ruyi didn't want to stay here for a long time, he didn't dare to save the face of Lan Guiren, so he had to rub into the house.
I saw that Lan Guiren was dressed in a gorgeous costume, with several hairpins inserted on the flag head, and the whole body was slightly tilted on the couch, tasting the sour plum juice in the cup, and the four palace maids stood opposite to her, holding a fan, and were slowly shaking it around to remove the heat for her.
Ruyi sniffed, and then glanced at the purple sand three-legged incense burner next to him, on which there was a lingering incense mist, faintly exuding a heavy aroma. How can there be such a strong fragrance in this summer, Ruyi even feels a little pungent.
At this time, a eunuch walked carefully to the couch with a tea case in his hand, and said respectfully, "Master, this is the candied longan you just wanted." ”
Lan Guiren didn't even look at it, and immediately became angry, she reprimanded loudly, "I wanted to eat it just now, but you only sent it now, what's the use?" I don't have the appetite for that anymore, get out. ”
"It's only been a long time, and the minions have specially ...... for you."
The eunuch wanted to explain a few more sentences, but as soon as he saw Lan Guiren's unhappy anger, he held back his words and obediently took the tea case and retreated.
After he left, Lan Gui opened his mouth to talk to Ruyi, she glanced at Ruyi, and snorted, "Su Chang is putting up a big score, everyone else came to visit me in person, even Concubine Yu and Concubine Ning also came, why can't your master come?" But don't you take me seriously? ”
Ruyi didn't want to make trouble in vain, so she quickly explained, "What did the noble man say, how could my master look down on you, she wanted to come very much, but unfortunately it was unfortunate that she had a cold last night and was unwell, so she sent a slave and maid over." ”
"Oh? I see, you master and servant are really good at lying, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue, I still don't believe it, she can be so sick by coincidence? ”
Lan Guiren looked disdainful and showed a provocative gaze.
Ruyi could only continue to laugh and said embarrassedly, "Now that you are pregnant, your body and bones are very expensive, Su Changzai is afraid that the wind and cold will infect you and hurt your body and the dragon heir, so he didn't show up." ”
After getting the flattery, Lan Guiren raised his face proudly and said with a smile, "You are acquainted, and when you go back, tell your master, this Changchun Palace is a blessed land, thanks to her giving it to me, I can conceive the dragon seed." ”
It seems that this Lan nobleman is still worried about the original palace move, and the measurement is really small. (To be continued.) )
