168. Chapter 166
In the early morning, Qin Yuan pushed open the wooden window, the slightest coolness hit with the wind, raised his eyes, it turned out to be raining, the sky was also semi-bright, the tone was not as bright as the daylight, nor was it too depressing when the clouds were pressing.
At this time, Aunt Lan pushed the door in and walked in slowly, "Niangniang, breakfast is ready for you." ”
Qin Yuan slowly turned around when she heard the voice, and when she saw that it was Aunt Lan, she immediately raised her lips and smiled slowly, walked to the dining table and sat down, and said softly, "In the past five years, the three meals a day in this palace have been personally served by you every day for the palace. ”
Aunt Lan suddenly smiled humbly, and said slowly, "Why do you need to see outside, the slave should serve you." ”
Qin Yuan smiled slightly, and then asked, "Have you been to the Yongning Hall this morning?" Aunt Lan bowed slightly, "I've been there, and the slave and maid went to the Yongning Hall with their subordinates early in the morning to deliver food." Qin Yuan hurriedly asked with concern, "How is Mu Xuan?" Ready for dinner? Aunt Lan suddenly became a little anxious, "Listening to Yuru, the four princes cried non-stop when they went back last night, and they didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. ”
After hearing this, Qin Yuan suddenly showed a little sadness, and for a while she had no appetite at all, and sighed softly and said, "Hey, if you know this, this palace is really better than not seeing Mu Xuan." Aunt Lan hurriedly comforted, "Don't be sad, isn't Niangniang planned?" Then Niangniang is not far from the day of reunion with the four princes. ”
Qin Yuan bowed slightly with a slight heaviness for a while, "Everything is easy to say and difficult to do, this palace promised the queen mother three months yesterday, in fact, the calculation time is also extremely tight, has the palace let you inquire about all the things settled?" Aunt Lan bowed her head firmly and slightly, "The twenty-eighth of this month is the birthday of Concubine Yi, and the eighth day of the next month is the emperor's birthday. ”
Qin Yuan lowered her eyebrows for a while and thought deeply, if she wants to return to the harem this time, she must be a blockbuster, she wants to let the whole palace know about her existence, Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, and said softly, "Then choose the eighth day of the next month." ”
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Yuan sighed deeply, "I haven't thought about it for the time being, so I always give the emperor some signs first." After speaking, Qin Yuan's face showed a little hesitation, for Qing Cang's side, she didn't know how to deal with it, and it was naturally not okay to act rashly, but she and Qing Cang had not been in contact for five years, and yesterday was just a distant look, but it made Qin Yuan feel that they were no longer what they used to be, as if they were separated by many obstacles.
At this moment, I saw Ling Xiang, the personal maid of Concubine Lian, pushing the door and running in in a panic, it seemed that she was very anxious, and when she ran to Qin Yuan's feet, she knelt down, and said very quickly, "The slave has seen Concubine Hui and Lord Lan Shangshi." Aunt Lan was suddenly displeased, "What's the matter so flustered, didn't you see Concubine Hui eating?" It's rude to stumble in. ”
Ling Xiang hurriedly explained, "Concubine Lian Niangniang is in trouble right now, and the slave maid is really anxious, so she forgot the etiquette for a while, and hoped that Concubine Hui and Lan Shang would forgive their sins." I saw Qin Yuan ask in a low voice, "What's wrong with your master?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, when Niangniang was having dinner this morning, how did she know that suddenly several guards ran in and forcibly took Concubine Lian Niangniang away indiscriminately." , Qin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, "Why?" ”
"I heard that it's because of the second son-in-law of Lord Zhongshu Ling and the eighth princess."
Qin Yuan's eyebrows frowned slightly for a while, it seemed that Concubine Lian had messed things up, Qin Yuan was a little anxious for a while, with her current status in the palace, she was naturally powerless to help Concubine Lian, Qin Yuan's eyes moved uneasily in her sockets for a while, racking her brains to think about countermeasures.
After a while, a sharp trace of Qin Yuan's eyes slid through, and she hurriedly got up and said, "Aunt Lan, go and tell Dye Shuang to prepare a palace maid outfit, and this palace is going to find Concubine Yi." Aunt Lan responded immediately and hurriedly walked out of the dormitory.
After a while, Dye Shuang entered the house with a cyan palace maid dress, Qin Yuan hurriedly instructed Dye Shuang to dress up and dress up as a palace maid, but after a stick of incense, Qin Yuan finished dressing, and even the hairstyle was combed in the style of a palace maid, Qin Yuan then said to Aunt Lan, "Aunt Lan, this palace pretends to be your subordinate, and take the opportunity to go to the concubine." ”
Aunt Lan nodded firmly, and said worriedly on the side, "Master, let the slave and maid come with you." Qin Yuan hurriedly stopped, "No, there are more people, but it is more eye-catching, now there are not many people in the palace who know about the palace, and the palace will come when they go." Dye Shuang hesitated for a while, and said worriedly, "Master, you have to be careful, the slave is waiting for you to come back in the palace." Qin Yuan smiled at the dyeing frost, and then hurriedly followed Aunt Lan out.
Qin Yuan held the food box in her hand, her head hung very low, and she followed behind Aunt Lan with small steps, seeing that she was about to arrive at Fengluan Palace, how did she know that she met Concubine Wan walking in slowly, Aunt Lan suddenly stopped, Qin Yuan hurriedly lowered her head, and saluted with all the palace maids, "The slave maid asks Concubine Wan Niangniang to say goodbye, Niangniang Wanfu." ”
Concubine Wan looked at Aunt Lan and smiled coldly, "Where did Lan Shangshi go?" Aunt Lan said respectfully, "The slave maid has just returned from the Yongning Palace. After hearing this, Concubine Wan sneered a little deeper, "Aunt Lan is now soaring and prosperous, sitting on the throne of Shangshi Bureau, hey, the former master of Lan Shangshi is still living in the cold of Fengzhu Palace, but now you have become a second-grade Shangshi female official, tsk, it's really ironic to think about it." ”
Aunt Lan was not annoyed, but smiled humbly and politely, "The slave maid still has official business, if Concubine Wan has nothing to do, the slave maid will retire first." After speaking, Aunt Lan dressed and left.
Qin Yuan followed the team, bowing her head and silently passing by Concubine Wan.
Concubine Wan suddenly smiled indifferently, and the moment her cold eyes turned lightly, she suddenly saw Qin Yuan's side face, and her face was suddenly shocked for a while, and she hurriedly returned to her senses to look, looking at the back, it was really too familiar.
Xiuzhu on the side was puzzled, "Master, what are you looking at?" Concubine Wan squinted her eyes slightly in confusion, and said slowly, "This palace seems to have seen Concubine Hui." As soon as these words came out, Xiuzhu was taken aback, "Won't it?" How could Concubine Hui be here, master, are you mistaken? ”
Concubine Wan suddenly bowed slightly, and smiled coldly with disdain in her heart, Xiuzhu was right, how could Concubine Hui appear here? I must have seen it wrong, and then left with a slow pace.
When Aunt Lan came to Fengluan Palace, a palace maid stepped forward and said, "I've seen Lord Lan Shangshi, I don't know what the Lord is here?" Aunt Lan replied, "This official has something to see Concubine Yi, go and say goodbye." The palace maid smiled slowly, "Lord Shangshi, it's really unfortunate, Concubine Yi has something to do, if you have something urgent, you can wait in the front hall." Aunt Lan suddenly showed a little displeasure, turned her head to look at Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan nodded slowly, and Aunt Lan then said, "It's okay, then the official will wait in the front hall." The palace maid immediately took Aunt Lan and others into the front hall.
After a while, Yi Guifei came back, and when she walked into the front hall, Qin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Sister, ......", Yi Guifei was slightly stunned for a while, and after a closer look, she found that it was Qin Yuan, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why are you here?" Without waiting for Qin Yuan to speak, Concubine Yi said to Hui Xin, "Go and close the doors and windows, no one is allowed to come in without the will of the palace." Huixin hurriedly responded.
At this time, Concubine Yi pulled Qin Yuan to sit down next to the wooden chair, and said anxiously, "How can you come out of Fengzhu Palace?" It's too risky, and if it's seen, it's over? ”
Qin Yuan's face also showed a little eagerness, "My sister came out this time because of Concubine Lian." After finishing speaking, Concubine Yi's face became a little ugly, and she said in a low voice, "You are still a step late, my sister has just returned from the main hall, and Concubine Lian has been locked in the burrow now, waiting for the emperor to fall." ”
Qin Yuan's face showed an anxious expression, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Concubine Yi then said slowly, "In order to prevent the eighth princess from making peace with the second concubine of Lord Zhongshuling, Concubine Lian found a feng shui gentleman to say that the eighth princess did not agree with her eight characters, and pointed out that the eight characters of the ninth princess of Xiang Guifei were compatible with it, and the emperor did have the intention of being tempted, but unfortunately it was debunked by Xiang Guifei. ”
Qin Yuan sighed deeply, shook her head helplessly, and said, "It's all my fault." Yi Guifei suddenly became suspicious, "What's wrong?" ”
"A few days ago, Concubine Lian came to Fengzhu Palace to find me because of this matter, and I pointed out the matter of feng shui to Concubine Lian." , Yi Guifei's eyes suddenly changed, "You also instructed you to frame Xiang Guifei?" ”
"No, at that time, I asked her to point it out to Concubine An's daughter, but she insisted on pointing it out to Concubine Xiang."
Yi Guifei was silent for a moment, sitting heavily in place, her eyebrows frowning slightly, she had already guessed why Xiang Guifei did this, only then did she learn that Xiang Guifei was indeed loyal to Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan quickly got up and said, "Sister, what should I do now?" Concubine Yi sighed deeply, "Concubine Xiang must be slandering Concubine Lian in the emperor's ear, which made the emperor angry and condemned Concubine Lian, and now the emperor is angry, and it is useless to persuade more, only we can figure out our own way." ”
Qin Yuan was upset, she couldn't ignore Concubine Lian, and said after thinking for a while, "What is the origin of this Hunan noble concubine?" ”
"The father of the Hunan concubine is the third rank of the imperial guard, Lord Zhao, the first time he entered the palace, he was loved by the emperor, and he got a dragon and phoenix fetus when he first entered the palace, and he has been in the palace for four years, and his holy favor has never been broken."
Qin Yuan was a little lost for a while, "It seems that the emperor is really in love with her, and my sister has thought of a way." Yi Guifei said, "What way?" ”
Qin Yuan got up slowly, and said very firmly, "My sister will handle it properly, my sister doesn't have to worry." Then, without waiting for Concubine Yi to speak, she pushed the door and left.
