Chapter Forty-Seven: Compromise, Temporary Residence in the Temple of Peace
Qin Yuan has just taken the medicine, although it is safe and sound, but after falling into the water, but also tossed and weak, Qin Yuan does not know the nature of the water, the panic and fear, now has not eased up, fortunately the fetus in the womb is unharmed, if something really happens, today is really a big loss.
I only listened to the eunuchs outside the door, and the long voice reported that "the queen mother arrived, and the queen and concubine drove to ......"
The four of them hugged each other and entered the hall, Qin Yuan lifted the quilt and got out of bed to salute, but Qing Cang stepped forward to support Qin Yuan's arm, and said with great tenderness, "Yuan'er doesn't have to be polite, lie down quickly." Qin Yuan retracted her arm expressionlessly, as if hinting at her dissatisfaction with Qing Cang, and said in a flat tone, "Concubine Xie Emperor cares." Why can't you feel it? The hand hanging in mid-air, awkwardly withdrawn, sat on the chair next to him.
Qin Yuan smiled at the Queen Mother and the Queen, and then said, "The concubine has seen the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother both smiled and nodded, Qin Yuan then looked at Yi Guifei, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and shouted softly, "Sister ......", Yi Guifei stepped forward with a smile, sat on the edge of the bed and took Qin Yuan's hand, and said softly and slowly, "Sister is incompetent, let my sister suffer." ”
Qin Yuan smiled indifferently, "It's all my sister's stupidity for a while, it has nothing to do with my sister, and my sister doesn't have to blame herself." Concubine Yi smiled back, Qin Yuan then turned her head to look at the Queen Mother, her eyes were full of grievances, and she whispered, "The concubine is guilty, she concealed her pregnancy from the Queen Mother, and I hope the Queen Mother will punish her." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head slowly, and said comfortingly, "That's it, you are also thinking about the fetus, if there is anything in the future, just talk to the mourning family and the emperor, what are you afraid of if there is a mourning family and the emperor to call the shots for you, fortunately, today is just a false alarm, what if something really happens?" ”
Qin Yuan bowed slightly, "The concubine is not filial, which makes the queen mother worry about the concubine." ”
The queen said with a smile at this time, "The palace will instruct the palace people to strictly manage all the uses of the Jinhua Palace, and the concubine Hui can rest assured, the fetus will definitely be born safely." Qin Yuan smiled gratefully, "Queen Xie is in love." ”
Concubine Yi also nodded approvingly, "Sister, just rest assured, with my sister here, I won't let others hurt you in the slightest." ”
The Queen Mother said at this time, "Queen, send some clever palace people to Jinhua Palace, it is also convenient to serve on weekdays." But without waiting for the queen to respond, Qin Yuan opened her mouth and politely refused, "No need, now the concubines except for the queen mother and sister, the concubines don't believe in anyone, the concubines have Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai around on weekdays, and recently a palace maid has been sent to the side, three people are enough." ”
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Nonsense, you are pregnant now, why can there only be three people beside you?" Don't worry, everything the queen has arranged for you is reliable. Qin Yuan hurriedly shook her head, "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother first, but the concubine has always liked to be quiet, and too many people will make the concubine upset." ”
The Queen Mother still wanted to speak, but was preempted by Concubine Yi, "The Queen Mother should follow her sister, my sister is scared, there are too many people around her, and she will be tired every day." After thinking for a while, the Queen Mother sighed heavily, "Okay, if you feel that something is wrong on weekdays, just tell the queen and the mourning family." ”
Qin Yuan smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
At this time, Qing Cang, who was sitting on the side without saying a word, opened his mouth, "Let Yuan'er raise the baby in the Anshen Temple, and I can rest assured by my side." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Yuan's face changed greatly, and her tone was mixed with displeasure, "Concubine Xie Emperor's good intentions, it's just that the concubine is used to living in Jinhua Palace, but I'm afraid that I won't be used to it in Anshen Temple." Although Qing Cang's face didn't do anything, the strange light in his eyes made people feel ill-intentioned.
The queen mother's eyes were full of joy at the moment, "The emperor's proposal is good, with the emperor by his side, the mourning family is naturally much more relieved." The queen also echoed, "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, the staff of the Anshen Temple are all quick and fast, guarded by guards all day long, and quiet on weekdays, which is the most suitable for raising a baby." ”
Qin Yuan didn't have a smile on her face, but her tone was soft, "An Shenyun is a place where the emperor rests on weekdays, how can the concubine have a reason to live, the concubine should go back to the Jinhua Palace, lest others will gossip again." ”
Concubine Yi smiled lightly in an instant, "There was a fire in your palace last night, how can it be suitable for you to live now?" It's better to live in this temple first, and it's not too late to go back when the Jinhua Temple is repaired. ”
"That's it, it's rare for the emperor to have a good intention, Hui Guifei should stay, and the palace will send someone to properly repair the Jinhua Palace." , it was the queen who spoke.
It stands to reason that the position of the queen mother, the queen and the concubine is much higher than that of Qin Yuan, and when it comes to this, if Qin Yuan refuses again, it is indeed unreasonable, but now Qin Yuan is annoyed in her heart, if she lives in this temple every day, it is better to let her be grounded, so Qin Yuan's tone turned cold and said, "The concubine's bedroom is just that the small kitchen was burned, and it will not delay the concubine's residence, and the concubine will return to Jinhua Palace." ”
These words made the queen mother's smile disappear instantly, and the queen mother looked at Qing Cang with a gloomy face on the side, her face was slightly heavy, and she couldn't help but feel that Qin Yuan was a little ignorant, and Concubine Yi also secretly pinched Qin Yuan, signaling that Qin Yuan should not be like this.
Although the Queen Mother was displeased, after all, she still cherished Qin Yuan in her heart, and she still said in the end, "The mourning family knows that you have been wronged this day, but you concealed the fact of pregnancy from the emperor, and suddenly inexplicably indifferent to the emperor, how can the emperor not feel awkward?" As the saying goes, husbands and wives don't have overnight feuds, so it's good to understand each other. ”
You must know that the only person who can be called the emperor and his wife in the palace is the queen, but now the queen mother said this to Qin Yuan, if Qin Yuan refuses again, it will really refute the face of the queen mother.
Qin Yuan sat on the bed in silence for a while, unwilling in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother had also seen Qin Yuan's thoughts, and then got up and said, "Since the mother and son are safe, the mourning family is relieved, the queen, serve the mourning family and return to the palace." The queen hurriedly responded, got up and helped the queen mother to go out, the queen mother turned her head and glanced at Qing Cang, and Qing Cang also got up and went out, leaving only Yi Guifei and Qin Yuan in the dormitory.
The Queen Mother walked out of the dormitory and came to the middle of the courtyard, turned to Qingcang behind her and said, "Yuan'er has suffered a lot these days, and it is understandable that she has some emotions for you. Qing Cang bowed slightly, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Mother, don't worry, Erchen has his own way." ”
The queen looked at the hall and said uneasily, "I don't know if Concubine Yi can persuade the concubine." The Queen Mother smiled reassuringly, "The mourning family called you two out and left her alone, she naturally understands the reason, don't worry, if Concubine Yi doesn't even have this ability, she won't sit in the harem." After speaking, he walked out of the temple with the support of the queen.
In the Anshen Temple, Qin Yuan said with a look of embarrassment, "Sister, my sister doesn't want to live here." Yi Guifei took Qin Yuan's hand and said in a gentle tone, "Sister knows what Sister Lu Dao thinks now, but now that you are pregnant, you always have to be careful, if you live in this temple, the heir of the emperor will be born in the temple, and it is also an honor to rely on this specialness." ”
"But my sister feels annoyed when she sees the emperor now, what has happened these days, my sister finally sees the emperor clearly and the harem."
"So you have to live in this Jinhua Palace, since you know that you can't pin your hopes on the emperor, then pin your hopes on the child, the mother is precious by virtue of the son, this is the eternal truth in the palace, if you get a man in one fell swoop, you must be a concubine, with your family background and status, the status of the child must be second only to the prince, who dares to underestimate you in the palace? Now that the emperor is in the prime of life, there will be more heirs in the future, and it is inevitable that they will fight each other and plot, if you don't prepare earlier, what can you do in the future? ”
Qin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, with a little reluctance, "But what does this have to do with not being able to live in the Anshen Temple?" Do you want your sister to force a smile every day in the face of someone she doesn't like? Yi Guifei smiled faintly and encouraged, "What about before?" Wasn't it the same when my sister was favored before? ”
Qin Yuan shook her head lightly, "This is different, it can't be compared, I didn't see everything clearly before, and I didn't feel anything when I treated each other with tenderness, but now that I see it clearly, I don't even have the interest in fake feelings." ”
"Isn't that the place in the palace? It's been half a year since you entered the palace, and the things you have experienced are not small, haven't you tasted it thoroughly? You are now living not only for you alone, but also for your children and your family. ”
Qin Yuan looked reluctant, and was about to say something, but Concubine Yi preemptively opened her mouth again, "You are pregnant now, I don't know how many people in the palace are worried about it, Anshen Temple is the emperor's usual resting place, much safer than the harem, it is extremely difficult for others to intervene in it, so it may not be a good thing to return to the palace, the palace lives in Fengluan Palace, even if you keep an eye on Jinhua Palace every day, it is inevitable that there will be negligence, so this Anshen Temple is the best place to hide, and the Queen Mother said that, if you refuse, But I really don't know how to lift, and it's up to my sister to weigh it herself. ”
Qin Yuan lowered her head slightly and pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "Okay, my sister listens to my sister, and she lives in the Anshen Temple for the time being, but my sister is in the face of the Queen Mother, as for the emperor, my sister doesn't want to pay attention to him." ”
When Concubine Yi heard this, her eyes were full of satisfaction, "Okay, okay, as long as you stay and everything is easy to say, my sister will stay soon, and I will often come to see you in the future." ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Concubine Yi left with a smile.
