Chapter Eighty-Seven: No Longer True
The return journey was nearly a month before entering Pingjing, along the way Wenyue was able to share a car with Emperor Yuan, which was a great honor, and the stars took care of the moon like meticulous care, Fu Qizheng was idle, and Qiao Yanyi said a lot of things in the palace, when entering the imperial city, Qiao Yanyi couldn't help but lift the curtain and glance at it, this picture made Fu Qizheng feel slightly familiar, just like himself that day, sighed: "If you regret it one day, this concubine can still think of letting you out, but no one can help this concubine." ”
Qiao Yanyi put down the curtain of the car, as if she was hiding a stomach: "Yan Yi was born in a private family and can't help herself, not to mention the concubine of the famous family, then she can't help herself." ”
"The concubine's sister Qiqin is a person who does not accept her fate, she fell in love with the first-class dealer Jia, and married him at all costs, and her father removed her from the genealogy in a fit of anger, and let her go with the merchant, the four seas are home, and there is no fixed place to live, and I don't know if she has regretted it? Fu Qizheng said, suddenly remembered something again, and asked Qiao Yanyi: \"Don't you already have a sweetheart, why are you willing to leave him in the palace?" ”
Qiao Yanyi's eyes flickered, flickering, and suddenly asked curiously: "Listen to Yinwei, the concubine also has a sister who is a princess?" ”
"I and Sister Qishu's lives are not able to escape the draft, four years ago when my sister drafted, Prince Yu asked the emperor for marriage, and the emperor promised my sister to Prince Yu as a concubine, in the final analysis, the most unbearable, or this concubine." Fu Qizheng shook his head lightly, with helplessness in his eyes.
got out of the carriage and followed behind Emperor Yuan to pick up everyone and walked out, Xia Luan Xi helped the Queen Mother to stand in the front, behind stood Yin Guifei and Hua Guifei, Concubine Zhen Yun Concubine Chen Xiying was also in the crowd, and when she saw that Yin Guifei and Concubine Zhen's stomachs were bulging, she knew that it had been several months.
Emperor Yuan walked up to the Queen Mother and arched his hand: "Queen Mother, Erchen is back." "The queen, Fu Qizheng and Wen Yue followed the ceremony.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "It's good that the emperor returns safely." ”
The concubines bent down: "Welcome the emperor back to the palace." ”
"Flat." Emperor Yuan said, and then motioned to Yan'er to help Wen Yue up: "Lan Jieyu is inconvenient, so these etiquettes will be waived." As soon as these words came out, the concubines got up and their eyes fell on Wen Yue, some laughed, some worried.
"What's the matter, Lan Jieyu is also pregnant?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Wen Yue nodded implicitly, and the Queen Mother said happily: "It seems that there are many happy events in the palace now, a good omen, the emperor has just left Beijing, and the imperial doctor came to report that Shu Guiren has been pregnant in February, but I didn't expect Lan Jieyu to have good news again." ”
Fu Qizheng glanced at Chen Xiying, who was smiling in the crowd, and lowered his head in every way.
"Queen Mother, this is really a good omen." Xia Luan regretted flattery.
The Queen Mother's gaze swept at Fu Qizheng with a blank look, and then looked at Emperor Yuan with a smile and said, "The emperor should also have a reward." ”
"Then Jin Shu noble person is Shu Jieyu, Jin Lan Jieyu is Lan Ronghua, and then another reward, is it good for the queen mother?" Yuan Emperor Dao.
The Queen Mother was extremely satisfied: "Very good." ”
After receiving them, Emperor Yuan sent Li Changhai to send Wenyue back to the palace, and after they walked away, Fu Qizheng took Qiao Yanyi and Qingchu to Jingyi Palace, and just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice mocking: "It's really the same palace with different lives, but it's okay, you sisters can now sit on an equal footing." ”
Fu Qizheng looked back, Concubine Yun glanced at Fu Qizheng and left with the maid.
As soon as he entered the Jingyi Palace, he heard the noise of talking and laughing in Luomeitai, and then met Li Changhai, who came out, and Li Changhai saw Fu Qizheng hurriedly saluting: "Concubine." ”
Fu Qizheng looked in the direction of Luomeitai and asked, "Lan Jie...... Lan Ronghua, why is it so lively. ”
"It's Zhou Cainu and Yang Cainu, and a few little masters have gone to congratulate Lan Ronghua." Li Changhai said.
"Father-in-law Lao sent Lan Ronghua back." Fu Qizheng said slightly.
"Where the concubine master says, the concubine master doesn't have to worry, when the time comes, the blessing will come." After Li Changhai finished speaking, he retired.
Back in Zhaoxuan Palace, Liu Yi and Lan'er greeted them and kowtowed: "Welcome to the concubine." ”
Fu Qizheng said softly: "Get up." ”
Liu Yi and Lan'er got up, and Liu Yixi said: "The concubine is back, the palace has been deserted for the past few months, and Lan'er and I are looking forward to the master coming back as soon as possible." ”
Fu Qizheng looked at Qiao Yanyi and said: "This is Yan Yi, she is not a palace maid, it is just an expedient measure to follow this concubine, you have to take more care of her in the future, Liu Yi, take Yan Yi down to change her clothes, and then go to the inner mansion to enter the register, this is the queen's edict." Fu Qizheng took out the letterhead, the handwriting on it was scribbled, only the gold seal was clearly visible, and the queen was already angry in her heart.
Liu Yi took Qiao Yanyi away, Lan'er and Qingchu freshened and changed Fu Qizheng's clothes, and helped Fu Qizheng to sit down in the hall, Fu Qizheng looked at Lan'er and said worriedly: "Now Lan Ronghua is not the same as in the past, Lan'er's name is really inappropriate, I'm afraid that someone will use the excuse of colliding with Lan Ronghua to make a mistake, how about this concubine and you?" ”
Lan'er nodded: "Listen to the orders of the concubine." ”
Fu Qizheng pondered for a moment and said: "Yang Liu Yiyi, rain and snow Feifei, you will be called Yufei in the future." ”
"Slave and maid Yufei, thank you for the name of the concubine." Yufei knelt down and bowed.
Xi Rui walked in and saluted: "See the concubine master, I learned that the concubine returned to the palace safely, and the slave maid came to greet the concubine master." ”
Fu Qizheng raised his hand and said, "Hurry up, the sachet you made is very effective, and this concubine carries it with you." As he spoke, he took out the sachet in his sleeve.
Xi Rui stood up and said, "If the concubine master likes it, the slave maid has done a lot more, let Sister Liu Yi hang it on the curtain of the concubine's bed, and put some on the pillow, so that the concubine can sleep peacefully when he returns to the palace." ”
"You've got a heart." Fu Qizheng said.
"The slave maid also picked some flower petals in the garden to make flower tea in the spring, and the concubine drank it."
Fu Qizheng took a sip of the tea, the tea fragrance was sandwiched with a weak floral fragrance, the tea soup was sweet, and the mouth was fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea." ”
"The concubine master is tired of traveling and driving, and the slave and maid dare not disturb the concubine master's rest, so they will retire first."
Fu Qizheng nodded, Xirui exited the door, and Liu Yi said: "Xirui is really good, she has been doing her duty in the garden, and from time to time she makes some new things for the concubine, and we will also follow it." ”
"Maybe it's because you've eaten a trench and grown wise." Fu Qizheng said lightly, took another sip of flower tea, and liked it very much, but in her heart, she thought that now Du Xirui seems to have changed into a different person, careful and peaceful, and she is no longer the sharp-edged show girl she was back then.
In the evening, the Queen Mother set up a banquet in the Wende Palace, invited the concubines and royal relatives to receive the wind for the Yuan Emperor, Fu Qizheng changed into a bright purple palace dress, dressed up carefully, and rushed to the Wende Hall early, Yin Guifei and Yun Concubine were already inside, and Fu Qizheng's appearance was beyond their expectations.
"I've seen the concubine Niangniang, Concubine Yun's Niangniang." Fu Qizheng gave a salute.
"Aya Ronghua's body is festive, no wonder, you and Lan Ronghua are like sisters, she is as happy as if you are pregnant, but this difference is really big." Concubine Yun said with a smile, and looked at Concubine Hua who came behind Fu Qizheng again: "You see that Sister Hua is not as happy as you, she is so simple." ”
Fu Qizheng turned his eyes and saw that Hua Guifei was about to enter the door behind her, and hurriedly owed, Hua Guifei turned a blind eye, walked into the hall with a gloomy face, and glanced at Concubine Yun, but Concubine Yun sank her eyes triumphantly.
The corners of Concubine Hua's mouth raised slightly: "Sister Concubine Yun is really idle, don't you serve your master Yin and the little master well, what's the fun with this palace." ”
Concubine Yun was also angry, Concubine Yin on the side signaled her not to say more, Concubine Yun sat down angrily, and after being pregnant, Yin's family seemed to have converged a lot, Fu Qizheng had met several times when she came back, and Concubine Yin was not embarrassed by her, and her heart seemed to have changed greatly.
Emperor Yuan is sitting in the palace, the queen mother and the queen are on both sides, the concubines of His Royal Highness are on the side, and the relatives are on the side, the seats in the front row are naturally reserved for the palace concubines who have high positions or are now valuable, Yin Huayun and Zhen are naturally in front, and the seats of Wen Yue and Chen Xiying are also added on the side, and Fu Qizheng and Tong Shujin are sitting in the back row.
"If I were you, I would not be reconciled." Tong Shujin said intentionally or unintentionally while enjoying the song and dance.
Fu Qizheng glanced at her, but didn't pay much attention to it, and said lightly: "If a person drinks water, he knows how warm and cold he is." ”
"I heard that you are the one who has been in the limelight along the way, and in the end it is not as good as someone else's belly." Tong Shujin covered his mouth and smiled.
Fu Qizheng smiled: "Shu Jieyu is not also pregnant, you have always been good with her, are you unwilling this time?" ”
Chen Xiying looked back at the two of them slightly as if she had heard it, and retracted her gaze as if nothing happened, Wen Yue was very happy when she saw a table of meat, the palace maid was busy waiting, Fu Qizheng was a little worried but helpless to help anything, maybe Wen Yue was not short of her now.
Fu Qishu, who was sitting opposite, looked solemn, kept staring at Wen Yue, looked at Chen Xiying from time to time, and then looked at Fu Qizheng, her eyes were full of distress, maybe only her sister knew that such a heavy banquet was just pretending.
Taking advantage of the feast of everyone, Fu Qizheng quietly left the table, went out of the Wende Palace, and walked around the Wende Hall aimlessly with Qingchu, the stars were like promises, but the scenery was different from Minghu.
"Sister." Fu Qishu shouted.
Fu Qizheng turned around and saw Fu Qishu, and finally showed a smile.
"It's all providence that makes people suffer, and it hurts you."
"Why did my sister say this, although the current situation is not beneficial to me, it is not unfavorable at all."
"In the past few months when you went to Jiangnan, the Queen Mother was busy enveloping Chen and Xia's families, and mentioned Xia Luan as a female official of Chongyi, which is the second position of a female official in the palace, and the palace maid who has been in the palace for decades still can't look forward to it, Xia Luan regrets entering the palace to serve the Queen Mother for less than two years, and she is almost the first female official."
"When the queen was first established, there was no suitable person to serve as a female official, wouldn't Xia Luan be the head of the female officials."
"The Queen Mother is more interested in mentioning to the emperor that Xia Mingxu will be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War." Fu Qishu said worriedly.
Fu Qizheng took a deep breath and sighed: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if the queen mother wants to promote Xia Mingxu, she must borrow the power of the courtiers, the queen mother's brother is the secretary of the ministry, if you pull up the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Chen Yi, plus Chen Yi's party to seek the Tong family, the queen mother can be said to be a bamboo in the chest, and it is bound to win." ”
"My grandfather is old, if this situation really happens, our Fu family will be ...... in the imperial court."
"The purpose of the Queen Mother, isn't that exactly that, let them be grateful, and then support the queen and stabilize the throne, if the queen has a son, then there must be no doubt that the prince will be the prince, but my Fu family is a thorn in the heart of the queen mother, it hurts from time to time, and I can't bear it, so I naturally want to get rid of it quickly." Fu Qizheng smiled helplessly.
"Recently, the Chen family sent people to find and inquire about the Chen family's daughter, Xihan, it is rumored that Xihan has been lost for nearly 20 years when he was young, and now he somehow got the news that Xihan not only returned to Pingjing when he grew up, but also seemed to have entered the palace, and now the Chen family is happy and worried."
Fu Qizheng was puzzled: "How can the Chen family be sure that the woman in the news is Chen Xihan." ”
"I don't know this, it's just that there are such palace maids in the palace, how can we find it, since the Chen family is in a hurry, we might as well help find it, his Chen family makes us unhappy, how can we make him happy." Fu Qishu said indifferently.
Fu Qizheng looked back at the Wende Hall where the singing and dancing were leveling, his eyes were full of perseverance, and he said coldly: "Sister, don't worry, since the Queen Mother has tried her best to get rid of the thorn in her heart, then Qizheng will definitely do her best to protect my Fu family." "Entering the palace as a concubine, now it is known that the king's heart is unpredictable, and there is no hope, if you can't live for yourself, then you should seek for the family.
