Chapter 128: Accidental Miscarriage
Yuwen Jieyu's eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, the gem from the foreign domain, the queen got a positive red, Concubine Ran, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Chen all got it, and even the humble Hui nobleman got a pink gem, **There are so many pregnant women in it, but she has nothing, how can she bear this breath.
The queen glanced at the other party angrily, "Just you talk a lot!" The emperor treats the sisters of ** the same, and the palace is favored by the emperor, so that he can lick the position of the queen. ”
Concubine Ran smiled, mostly sarcastic, if it is a ** woman, she will be treated the same as you Empress Jiang, then she will not become the emperor's wife, will you still be able to keep this piece of meat in your stomach now, wouldn't you have fallen out with the royal family a long time ago.
Wu Shuyi's big eyes purred, "Niangniang, according to the concubine, what Sister Ran said is the truth, Sister Yuwen, do you say yes?" ”
Yuwen Jieyu, who was suddenly named, was stunned, and then heard the discussion between several people, and the little hand hidden under the wide long sleeves clenched tightly into a fist, and said "Yes!" through gritted teeth! ”
Angel shook her head a little helplessly, what is this banquet for? Yuwen Jieyu is also too unpopular, and she actually made everyone compete with her, even Wu Shuyi, who has been sitting at the end to watch the play, has an expression of unwillingness.
Concubine Jing raised her bewitching red lips and glanced at Angel who was breezy beside her, she was not grateful for the incident just now, and she didn't have much favor, but in front of the common enemy, she still learned to treat it steadily, and now nothing compares to Yuwen Jieyu's nasty ghost.
"Don't say it, a few days ago, the emperor also rewarded me with one, what do I like, and now I compare with this ruby, I'm really ashamed that I don't have the ability to meet people."
Concubine Jing will never let go of any opportunity to hit the empress, the emperor rewards foreign vassals with tribute, not to mention such a gem, this is nothing more than to tell the empress, she Concubine Jing also has it, and it will not be worse than hers at all.
Angel looked at Concubine Ran on the side, and asked with some confusion, which one is this singing, it was fine in the last second, at this time, it is the same as a stabbing ball, who to find and who to stab.
Concubine Ran received Angel's eyes, but glanced at Concubine Jing with disdain, this is the difference between her and the queen, from a certain point of view, this woman is very similar to Yuwen Jieyu, fortunately, this woman has a better family background than Yuwen Jieyu, which did not make her the same person as Yuwen Jieyu.
The queen smiled faintly, unmoved, and Concubine Jing had been competing with each other for more than ten years, if she couldn't sit still for this matter, she really didn't have to mix here.
"My sister is still hiding with the palace, but the palace has heard that there is only one ruby, the emperor first sent one to the palace, and one was kept for his own collection, for fear that my sister would be unhappy, and I specially rewarded a jade jade cabbage, and I didn't hurry up and take it out for us to see."
The queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, such a gem, there are only two in the world, one is collected by the emperor himself, and one is given to the queen, which is like a mutual gift of love tokens, unique in the world, Concubine Jing is just a concubine, no matter how good the emperor is to her, it is a plaything in the end.
Concubine Jing's body trembled unconsciously, and she grabbed the small pendant in front of her clothes, her face was gloomy and about to drip water, and after an instant, she untied the red silk thread on her neck and sent the jade and jade cabbage up.
The jade cabbage is almost 100% similar to the real cabbage, which is made of jade, the intimate theme, the white body and the emerald green leaves, all make people feel very familiar and close, the two insects on the left and right sides of the leaves, one is the mantis, the other is the locust, they represent the meaning of many children and grandchildren.
When Angel was in her previous life, she had heard of this thing for a long time, but she had never had the opportunity to see it, and even if she saw such a thing, it was just an imitation of art in later generations.
The jade cabbage was placed in the Yonghe Palace in the Forbidden City, which was the bedroom of Concubine Jin, the concubine of the Guangxu Emperor, so some people speculated that this vessel was the dowry of Concubine Jin, symbolizing her innocence and seeking more children and grandchildren.
Natural color, man-made shape, symbolism, the harmony of the three makes for a rare treasure.
Jade, in China is a very precious material, pondering jade into a utensil is quite labor-intensive, time-consuming, how to save materials, labor-saving has become one of the criteria of spatial thinking in the process of jade design, and "quantity of quality" is the artistic characteristics produced under this direction of thinking.
The so-called "quantity of material for quality", in short, is to conform to the natural shape or color of jade to design the shape of jade, is a creative way to exert creative power under the constraints of peripheral conditions. Reconciling nature and man-made is the most important concept of this creative method.
Coincidentally, Taiwanese media reported that the "vegetable" had been damaged due to poor storage, specifically a small piece of the long whisker of the grasshopper on the leaf. Media reports said the damage to the jade cabbage likely occurred while it was being exhibited in Kaohsiung.
During the last "presidential" election in Taiwan, in order to win the election, ** clamoured for "cultural equality between the north and the south", wrote many checks, including the establishment of a "Forbidden City" branch in southern Taiwan, and forced the "Palace Museum" in Taipei to select more than 100 treasures to be exhibited at the Kaohsiung Municipal Art Museum for three months, including this jade cabbage.
After the three-month exhibition expired, when the jade cabbage returned to the hospital, it was reported that the cultural relics had been damaged. The personnel concerned claimed that they had such scars before they were transported from the Qing Palace to the National Palace in Taipei.
Concubine Jing quickly glanced at Angel and Concubine Ran meaningfully, she was pulled in to watch like a clown, there was no reason to let these two people stay out of the matter.
Angel saw Concubine Jing's meaningful eyes, and there was a feeling of hair in her heart, and a coolness extended from her head to the soles of her feet, and she regretted participating in this banquet, **This big drama is not very good.
"Sister Concubine Chen, the emperor loves his sister so much, he must have rewarded his sister with a lot of good things, right!? Why don't you take it out together and let the sisters present open their eyes, and Sister Ran doesn't have to stay here, isn't it just to have a good time when we have a banquet. ”
Speaking of Concubine Chen, the concubines of ** are a little energetic, that woman can be said to be a rare legend among **, some people once guessed that if Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince this time, she is likely to become a concubine, completely equal to the queen, and even Concubine Jing has to stand aside.
This tribute, the emperor even rewarded Concubine Jing and Concubine Ran, of course, it was impossible to leave his favorite Concubine Chen alone.
The word Concubine Chen is almost a cancer in her life, even if she can't cut it with a knife, An Lin'er's eyes are almost jealous and hated, and she is about to flow out, she is the high-ranking Concubine Chen, she is just a humble nobleman.
The two of them were pregnant at the same time, and the emperor took more care of Angel, just because she was a high-ranking concubine, she was just a nobleman who had just been promoted, and without the support of the An family behind her, the emperor almost didn't come to see her.
When she received something from the eldest grandson Yuanhong, she was almost overshadowed by great joy, a pink gem, or a tribute from a foreign domain, what a glorious thing it was, gently comforting the child in her womb, the emperor did not forget their mother and son.
The Imperial Physician had said that spending more time in the sun was good for both the child and the pregnant woman, and the moment she stepped out of the dormitory, the great shame was about to bury her.
The palace maid who swept the floor "A few days ago, we heard that the emperor gave Concubine Chen a sapphire, or a tribute from the foreign domain, Miss Shuang'er, is this true!?" ”
Shuang'er smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true, among these **, there are such gems, only Concubine Ran, Concubine Jing, and finally our mother, the queen's mother is said to be red, the same color as blood, our mother said that it is a pigeon's blood gem, which is an extremely precious thing in the world." ”
The palace maid who planted the flowers nodded, "The queen is the wife, the emperor will inevitably take care of her, and the concubines and concubines are pregnant with dragons, and the sapphire can be described as the highest reward." ”
"That's it, my sister really envy you, you can follow the mother's side to serve, if I can see a gem like that, even if I have no regrets." The sweeping palace maid was full of envy.
Shuang'er slapped the other party's head on the door, "Don't come, you still envy me, I know your temperament, I spent a lot of effort a few days ago, and I have always wanted to climb the line of the imperial dining room." ”
The palace maid pouted her lips disdainfully, "Who told her to know how to eat all day long, sister, I tell you a piece of news, a few days ago, the emperor also gave Hui Guiren a pink gem, she held that thing, and she was happy all day long and what, isn't pink a symbol of the concubine?" ”
An Lin'er, who was eavesdropping on one side, was like a lightning strike, looking at the exquisite gem in her hand, like a hot potato, with a huge irony, there are definitely more than three colors of gems paid tribute by Fanbang, why do you have to give her pink gems?
Concubine Ran was no longer surprised by Concubine Jing's provocation, and smiled leisurely, "How can I have any good things, the emperor's good things, aren't they all close to Concubine Jing and the queen?" A few days ago, the concubines always couldn't sleep well, so the emperor sent someone to send a nephrite jade pillow that was warm in winter and cool in summer. ”
The emperor didn't give her anything good, something like a jade pillow, if there is a concubine with status and status, although it may not be sent by the emperor, it must be something that the people below are honored.
The world difference between this jade pillow is that it was given by the emperor, and what is hidden in it is the emperor's concern for himself, and it cannot be taken out to show others.
Concubine Jing snorted coldly after hearing this, obviously not very satisfied with Concubine Ran's answer, the moment she heard the emperor's concern for Concubine Ran, her heart was already as angry as substance.
Angel shook her head, knowing that she couldn't escape this catastrophe, and said frankly, "My sister didn't get anything good, she just got a small music box, and the people over there called this thing music box." ”
This thing is also what Angel and the eldest grandson Yuanhong wanted, among Westerners, the simplest merry-go-round, with a total of 156 sounds, which is a gift she prepared for the upcoming little life.
The melodious music of the music box often evokes people's memories of the good past, and even haunts them in their dreams, falling into the memories of time and years. Perhaps the greatest charm of the mechanical music box that has swept the global market for more than 300 years lies in its ability to solidify abstract music into figurative works of art.
Become the best choice for people to express their beautiful emotions and reminisce about the past years! The history of mechanical music boxes can be traced back to the early 14th century, when the invention of the pan bell, a clockwork instrument that produces a crisp crystal-like sound, was once popular in the Netherlands, Belgium and northern France.
Since 1811, Switzerland has been the centre of this skill, and like the Swiss watch industry, the two complemented each other and for a time dominated the world.
The movement of the music box is composed of a soundcylinder, a soundboard, gears, a clockwork (or other power source), damping and other components, and the number of sounds we call the movement refers to the number of soundboards that can be effectively pronounced.
The movement is divided into 8 tones, 12 tones, 15 tones, 16 tones, 18 tones, 20 tones, 22 tones, 27 tones, 30 tones, 36 tones, 50 tones, 55 tones, 72 tones, 78 tones, 88 tones, 144 tones, and 156 tones.
The greater the number of combs on the soundboard, that is, the greater the number of notes, the fuller the timbre will be, and the richer the melodies and melodies.
Generally, the movement below 22 tones is 8-17 seconds cycle, and the music box movement above 30 tones is generally cycled in 35 seconds to 8 minutes, and the diameter of the specific video cylinder is not through; In the Netherlands, there is an antique music box with a diameter of 280 mm of sound, and this music box can play 3-5 pieces in its entirety with one turn.
The moment the clockwork turned, the beautiful music poured out of this small box, and the rotation was the mare entwined with the mirror-like photo, and the crisp and beautiful sounds of nature, between the sparkling water, slowly crossed the hearts of people.
The queen's eyes narrowed, and she always couldn't say the feeling, this thing is not a novelty, I heard that there are also many noble princesses of the royal family in the feudal country, who collect this thing, and this kind of strange thing from the tribute, the emperor just sent one to Concubine Chen, it can't be said that the emperor cares about Concubine Chen very much, and he can't say that he ignores it, and he always feels weird.
Concubine Jing looked at the small music box thoughtfully, when the emperor gave her this, it can be said that she had heard it a long time ago, but it could be taken out in public, and people felt very strange.
According to the eldest grandson Yuanhong's love for Angel, rewarding such a thing is really a bit nondescript, if you know that this thing is asked by Eldest Sun Yuanhong to Angel, it probably won't be so calm.
The queen seemed to have a glance at the sister-in-law Shuyi and Hua Shunyi, and smiled thoughtfully, "I heard that the foreign feudal clan paid a lot of tulle, and the two sisters liked it, so the emperor rewarded the younger sisters?" ”
Wu Shuyi and Hua Shunyi suddenly blushed, the good things that the foreign feudal lords paid tribute, although they were just tulle, were also rare good things, and more importantly, as soon as the two of them said that they liked it, the emperor gave it to them, which was a great honor, and it was enough for them to enjoy one night at a time.
Yuwen Jieyu's face became more and more gloomy, many concubines here have more or less received some rewards, even people with low status can get a purse or some food, but her cousin didn't get anything, just like without her.
How can this be, she is the master of the position of Zhengsi Jieyu, the emperor is her own cousin, and there is a child of the emperor's cousin in her belly, how can he ignore her so much?
Yuwen Jieyu seems to have forgotten that she first designed to frame Angel, and when she learned that the child in her belly was a girl, she gave up decisively, and she had no future dependence, who can remember that there is such a number one person in **.
Concubine Jing saw Yuwen Jieyu's embarrassed and aggrieved face, and immediately understood what the queen was going to do, but she was happy to give her some color to see, "Yuwen Jieyu is the emperor's cousin, I don't know what good things the emperor gave Yuwen Jieyu?" Why don't you take it out and let the sisters present open their eyes together? ”
This sentence seemed to pierce the other party's most painful nerves, his hands were clenched together, his body trembled constantly, and his white forehead was already wet with cold sweat.
There was a rapid falling pain in the abdomen, early or late, but at this time, the light-colored dress was quickly dyed scarlet, and the blood was like a tap that opened the floodgates.
"Ahh My tummy, my tummy hurts so much! ”
The people present suddenly panicked, some timid concubines fainted directly, and there was a commotion in the hall, calling the imperial doctor and the protector, one by one, like a mouse with a numb claw.
Looking at Yuwen Jieyu, who was about to lose consciousness on one side, Luo Ying finally came slowly, looking at the other party's dilated pupils, Luo Ying's eyes drooped a strange light, and no one noticed it.
"Oh no, sis...... The mother has a miscarriage, come here, and pass on the doctor. ”
The imperial doctor and the midwife quickly came to Kunning Palace, the queen and all the concubines were sitting and waiting in Kunning Palace, and they had already sent someone to report to the eldest grandson Yuanhong, but at this time, the emperor was in the court, and there was no time to visit, so he sent the eunuch who reported the news at will.
Yuwen Jieyu howled for five hours in the delivery room, and then gave birth to a little baby girl who was purple and had lost her breath.
After Changsun Yuanhong saw the bright yellow package, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand lightly, and handled it according to the normal process, not to mention saying anything about Yuwen Jieyu's rewards and punishments, and glanced at the concubines present.
"Who can tell me which one is singing today?"
