The deposed imperial concubine (26)
It is not uncommon for people in the palace to be rewarded by their masters, but the jade bottle is exquisite, and it is not the only reward for An Xue by Concubine Xian, because Concubine Xian has always treated the two equally, and any good things are rewarded in double portions, one for each of them.
"It seems to be a bottle of balm, it is plum blossom flavored, An Xue hides it as a baby, the slave saw it once last time, and she didn't say anything when she asked." When Concubine Xian heard An Ru's words, her heart was half cold for a while, and somehow, she suddenly remembered that before the Empress Dowager's birthday, she went to the Xianfu Palace and asked Lily what kind of gift she wanted to give Empress Dowager Lu, Lily once said that Empress Dowager Lu likes plum blossoms.
When Concubine Xian thought of this, her whole body trembled like chaff.
"Niangniang, Niangniang......" After An Ru finished speaking, she saw that Concubine Xian's face changed greatly, and her teeth began to 'gurgle', and she didn't know what she thought of, she called Concubine Xian seven or eight times in a row, Concubine Xian couldn't come back to her senses, An Ru was anxious, thinking that Concubine Xian was not stunned, and was about to raise her volume to call her again, but saw Concubine Xian suddenly reach out and grab her: "Who rewarded that thing?" ”
The palace can afford to use the jade bottle, it is nothing more than a few, the palace maid categorically can't afford that thing, the big deal is to use a ceramic bottle to contain things is already extremely precious, Concubine Xian still hopes that her guess is wrong, she didn't notice the strength of her hand under the excitement, the well-maintained long nails pinched into An Ru's flesh, the day in April, it is already early summer, the weather has cooled, but Concubine Xian's hands are cold and terrible, the cold seems to penetrate her fingertips into her heart.
I don't know what happened to scare Concubine Xian like this. An Ru endured the trembling, tried her best to ignore the pain in her hands, and didn't dare to struggle, and tried to think for a long time before her eyes lit up:
"The slave maid remembered, it seems that once, once An Xue said, saying that the Queen Mother rewarded her with things......"
Hearing this, Concubine Xian was only like five thunderbolts, and she was blown up to the point of crying without tears. I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. The body was like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, at first it was fluttering and shaking, and then it was colorless, and the lips trembled violently.
The Queen Mother rewarded An Xue's things. It can make things in jade bottles. There are only a few people in this palace who have such a handicraft. Except for Emperor Yongming. In addition to Empress Dowager Lu, as well as herself and the three concubines such as Lily and Concubine De, at most one concubine Liu at that time could be used. Concubine Liu can use it herself. But it is unlikely that the jade bottle will be rewarded casually, especially the people in the palace, Concubine De hates herself to the bone, it is naturally impossible, and the lily is also possible, but at this time, An Ru said that the Queen Mother has rewarded things, and then thinking of the Queen Mother's liking of plum blossom balm, Concubine Xian cried and laughed, as if she was crazy:
"Impossible, impossible!" She suddenly reached out and swept all the cups in front of her to the ground, and cried when she got on her stomach.
"Niangniang......" Although Concubine Xian has a bad temper, there is not much time for her to lose her temper inexplicably like now, An Ru was so crying by her that she had no master, and she knelt down in a hurry, and she didn't know which sentence she said wrong, which made Concubine Xian angry.
"I'm going to find her, I'm going to ask her for clarification!" Concubine Xian stood up, An Ru knelt on the ground and moved two steps, a little uneasy: "Who is Niangniang going to find?" ”
"No, you can't be seen." Concubine Xian couldn't take care of it at all at this time, and as soon as she finished talking to herself, she stopped again, she sat for a long time, stretched out her hand to cover her face, and cried.
An Ru didn't know what happened to Concubine Xian, without the consent of the master, she didn't dare to find a doctor to come, and she didn't dare to let others guard, she herself stayed by the side of Concubine Xian, listening to her mouth calling: "The emperor spares his life, the concubine doesn't know anything...... and gritted his teeth again, and suddenly shouted: "Spare the Guo family." ”
The words she shouted in her sleep were so apprehensive that her body seemed to be soaked in cold sweat, her clothes were wet and dry, dry and wet, and An Ru's eyes were red with anxiety. For the master and servant, this night passed very slowly, and finally stayed up until the sky was about to dawn, and Concubine Xian opened her eyes a little tired. She slept all night, but her eyes were full of red bloodshots, she couldn't sleep at first, and then she kept having nightmares, and at this time she finally opened her eyes from the nightmare, and Concubine Xian seemed to be seriously ill, and shouted hoarsely:
"Anru?"
"Mother?" An Ru didn't sleep all night, her eyes were still red at this time, she found it the first time Concubine Xian opened it, but she didn't dare to come over, at this time she heard Concubine Xian call her name, An Ru hurriedly came over: "Last night, Niangniang was tricked and was condomed?" "The situation of Concubine Xian last night was exactly the same as being cursed and being cursed and disgusted, and when An thought of Concubine Xian's eyes were red, she was still trembling.
"It's better for the slave to find a way to send a letter back to Guo's mansion and ask the master for help." An Ru didn't dare to poke out the matter of Concubine Xian, for fear that the emperor would be disgusted by the leakage, so she could only prepare to ask Concubine Xian's father for help. Concubine Xian shook her head, her voice a little hoarse: "No need, this palace knows in my heart, there are really too many things that have happened recently, and I am tired." "An Ru is her personal maid, she grew up with her since she was a child, and her feelings are extraordinary, she should have been very trusting of An Ru, but I don't know if it was because of the high stakes, or because of An Xue's betrayal, Concubine Xian's heart did not trust An Ru so much.
Facing the concerned face of the big palace maid, Concubine Xian couldn't speak, she bit her lip, just shook her head, looked like she wanted to say something, and sighed after a while: "Help the palace get up." ”
"It's still early to say hello to the Queen Mother, didn't Niangniang rest well last night, won't she sleep for a while?" Hearing that Concubine Xian was about to get up, An Ru comforted her.
Hearing the word 'Queen Mother' in her mouth, Concubine Xian was as if she had been pricked by a needle, her face showed a look of fear, her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip for a moment, and she hurriedly shook her head, her eyes trembled twice, and her voice was a little dry: "No, get up." "There are no red eyes in the palace, if she went to ask the Queen Mother for her red eyes last night, I am afraid that when I see Concubine De later, I will have to be ridiculed by her again.
An Ru heard that she was going to get up, and the Pujia Hall gradually became a little more lively, and everyone served hot water, An Ru took the medicine bag and put it on Concubine Xian's face, and waited until two quarters of an hour later, scraped off the traditional Chinese medicine mud on Concubine Xian's face, and the skin was like a new egg shell.
Although Concubine Xian is young, she has been in the palace for two or three years, far more mature than girls of the same age, and she knows the relationship, so although she didn't sleep well last night, when she changed her clothes and walked out of the gate of the Pujia Palace, she had completely calmed down, and the anxiety on her face had faded completely.
First asked for peace in the Fengming Hall of the Empress Dowager Lu, in the past, the virtuous concubine always felt that she couldn't talk to the Empress Dowager Lu more, but at this time, because she knew some big things, she was like a year in the Fengming Palace. Fortunately, Concubine Xian was forced to calm down, and Empress Dowager Lu seemed to be uneasy, so she didn't notice her strange appearance, and let them retreat after staying for a while.
When Concubine De's chariot left, Concubine Xian was at a loss in front of the Fengming Palace. Now it is the April season, all kinds of flowers in the palace are blooming brilliantly, but under the gorgeous appearance of this flower, it hides the dirt and filth, Concubine Xian is like a lost child, after a while, An Rudu couldn't help but want to ask her words, she pursed the corners of her mouth: "Go to Xianfu Palace." ”
Before the eunuch got up, An Xue, who was now a Yungui person in the Fengming Palace, came out slowly with a big belly. Because she was pregnant, she was left by the Queen Mother to drink a cup of tea, and she came out late, and when she saw that Concubine Xian was still there, she stepped forward to say goodbye:
"Sister hasn't left yet?"
"Who's your sister?" Concubine Xian sneered twice when she heard her call, and when she looked at An Xue again, she didn't know if it was because she accidentally knew something last night, at this time, Concubine Xian looked at An Xue with obvious indifference in her eyes, and she was no longer resentful before: "You are also worthy of being called a sister and sister in this palace?" "But it may just be a stand-in for the queen mother, I'm afraid if it weren't for her pregnancy, Emperor Yongming would have forgotten what she looked like at this time, and it's ridiculous that An Xue still thinks about the dream of climbing up step by step.
Concubine Xian didn't look at An Xue's blue and white face, knocked on the chariot, and motioned for everyone to get up and leave.
Later, An Xue maintained the posture of asking for peace, and only stood up when Concubine Xian's chariot was no longer visible, with hatred in her eyes.
In the Xianfu Palace, Lily didn't have to ask the Empress Dowager Lu for peace because of the unresolved relationship of the grounding, and she slept until the third pole of the sun, and when Concubine Xian came over, she was still sitting on the chair and combing her hair. The palace maid combed her Lingyun bun for her, and her forehead fell into the heart ornament, and her complexion did not fade a little because she did not have the emperor's favor, and the palace people took the pen to draw the eyebrows for her, the eyes were shining, the skin exuded a white and tender luster, and the cheeks were flushed, looking like she slept very well yesterday.
A woman who was still being punished and rejected by the emperor and lost her body was ordered to be grounded in the palace, at this time it seemed to be three points more beautiful than Zhou Lily, Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and saw that the palace maid picked the rouge on her hand, and smudged the rouge with the warmth of her hand, and slowly colored it on her lips with her ring finger, and the image of a beauty was reflected in the brass mirror.
