383: Confrontation with Concubine Liu

"But my subordinates always feel that something is wrong, why should Concubine Liu Guifei see Mrs. Long Yi was still not at ease.

"You just have to prepare, I have my own measure in my heart. ”

Ji Hongye has always trusted Long Yi very much, because he is calm and decisive enough. After so many years, he has also honed his vision, and looking at the entire court now, there are not many people who can be more tactful than Long Yi.

It is not unreasonable for King Hui to want to implement a new policy. Daning was founded for a hundred years, the son inherited the father's throne, and it was passed down from generation to generation, and the officials no longer knew what it was like to work hard.

Some people may do nothing in their lives, but they can be in the position of princes, enjoying high fortune and supreme glory. Therefore, now Daning's court is a decadent image.

Either some older people occupy high positions, and time has long worn them down, and they are no longer able to put forward any constructive suggestions. Either they are under the shadow of their ancestors, and their abilities are greatly inconsistent with their positions.

That's why he said that Long Yi was much stronger than many people in power. It's just one background short.

Long Yi has been following him for so long, and no one knows everything better than him. And at this time, he can still ask such words, which proves that his current mood is a little chaotic.

As for the reason for the chaos, there is no need to scrutinize, he found out a long time ago. Long Yi's concern for Ah Jin has completely transcended the limitation between master and servant.

He knew he wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary, but that didn't mean he could tolerate others coveting his wife. Even if he thought about it in his heart, he didn't want to: "Long Yi, there are some things that you shouldn't think about, I advise you to dispel your thoughts as soon as possible." ”

Long Yi's mind was indeed a little flustered, and the only thing he was worried about now was that something would happen to his wife when she entered the palace. After all, she is so heavy now, and Concubine Liu usually acts ruthlessly, and she is a cannibal who does not spit out bones.

Concubine Liu Guifei has favored the harem for so many years, and with King Xun and Zong Xuanyi behind her as support, many concubines dare not provoke her. Some of those who are good-looking and have a good family can be favored by Yonglong, they are all disposed of by her in private.

Emperor Yonglong may really love her, so he can indulge her, and repeatedly violate the palace rules, but he has never been deeply punished. Long Yi was afraid that Concubine Liu was so arrogant, if the mood came and he couldn't think about so many things, and he directly attacked his wife, wouldn't they even have time to regret it?

It wasn't until Ji Hongye's cold voice sounded in his ears that he realized that he had just lost his temper. has followed his master for so many years, and he has also learned a little about his master's temper.

There are not many things that can make him emotionally exposed now, and he really can't control it just now. And with the sharpness of the master's eyes, it is impossible not to see it. Thinking like this, his heart was blocked for a while, he lowered his head and saluted Ji Hongye, and went to do things himself.

When Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Hongye walked side by side in the palace, their hearts were still apprehensive. She seems to have an inexplicable fear of the palace, and she is very nervous every time she arrives.

She knew that this place actually eats people and doesn't spit out bones, especially the last time she came to the palace banquet and encountered something like that, which made her feel even more shadowy. The palace curtains are deep, revealing weirdness everywhere.

Ji Hongye felt that the breath of the people around him had become very slow, and he didn't dare to make a breath of atmosphere. He stretched out his hand and shook her hand, the sleeves of which were wide enough for outsiders to see.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at him sideways and smiled slightly.

Ji Hongye suddenly felt that bringing her here seemed to be a little wronged by her, so he whispered: "I will let Mo Yan and Mo Yu follow you, they are familiar with the affairs in the palace, don't be afraid." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, looked at the two girls who were following her, and felt a little more stable. Since they are the people that the third brother found for her from the palace, they must be familiar with the things here, but they just hope that the same thing as last time will not happen again.

"The old saint of Ji Pavilion is waiting for you in the Wuying Palace, as for the lady, please come with the servants. The eunuch in charge beside Concubine Liu bowed his waist slightly, and said to Ji Hongye respectfully.

Ji Hongye let go of the hand holding Nalan Jinxiu, looked at her with a very soft look, and said soothingly: "I'll go to Wuying Hall to face the saint first, and then come to pick you up." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, and took Mo Yan and Mo Yu to Concubine Liu's palace. They were arranged to wait in the main hall, but Concubine Liu was delayed.

In the process of waiting, Nalan Jinxiu's mood gradually became a little anxious. In fact, she knew in her heart that what made her anxious was not waiting, nor the dull atmosphere in the palace, but the person she wanted to meet.

When you mention Liu Guifei, you will definitely think of Zong Xuanyi. Although those days are like years, the days of suffering all the time have long been far away from her. But the sharp pain still existed in the bottom of her heart, becoming a thorn in her heart that could never be touched. But whenever she remembered it, it was an inhuman torture.

I have to say that the love that used to be so disappointing. After all, she can't face it with a normal heart, because those bloody facts can't be cut off by her at all. All he can do is try not to think about it.

Liu Guifei is exactly what she doesn't want to think about and has to accept. Thinking that she couldn't have children, and thinking that she hooked up with Zong Xuanyi and became adulterous, she was like sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, when Mo Yan and Mo Yu couldn't hold their breath and asked in a low voice, Liu Guifei appeared slowly, and she really put on a show before coming.

First, twelve palace maids walked in front in two rows, each holding a mahogany gilt box in his hand, which looked like a cluster of flowers. Then there were two more palace maids, Liu Guifei, who was carrying a big belly, came out and sat all the way to the right position.

Most women who are pregnant will have a bad complexion because their bellies are too large and their posture will become ugly. And Liu Guifei is just the opposite, her skin is still blown, her waist is still very slender, except for her big belly, it is almost impossible to tell that she is a pregnant woman.

The dress is even more exquisite, wearing a red peony flower woven gold gown, the red is hot, the gold is dazzling, it is really eye-catching. The headdress is a phoenix peony made of pure gold, and the earrings are the same, and the whole person looks jewelry. But I have to admit that she is not glamorous at all, but graceful and luxurious.

Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help but think that according to the customs of the Ning Dynasty, if a married woman wears a peony, she must be a housewife. Although no one explicitly stipulates anything, everyone is silently complying with it.

In the entire harem, if you can wear peony patterns and peony headdresses, only the queen mother can do it. With such a big face, isn't there a suspicion of trespassing? Her heart has already turned a thousand times, but her body is not ambiguous, and she respectfully bows.

Concubine Liu covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Mrs. Ji is also a person with a body, no need to be polite, hurry up and take a seat!"

Then she was silent for a while, fiddling with the gemstone ring on her finger, and said with a smile: "I see that Mrs. Ji's belly is not small, I don't know how many months you have been?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, there are more than seven months. ”

"Oh, you're smaller than Bengong this month, but your belly looks bigger than Bengong, have you ever let people show you, are you pregnant with twins?"

"I've seen it with a doctor, it's not twins. ”

Liu Guifei's willow eyebrows were high, and her leisurely voice revealed a sour and mean: "Since you are not pregnant with twins, your belly is so evil, won't it cause criticism?"

This was not a good word, and the expressions of the people in the room became very strange. The palace maids all lowered their heads, but Nalan Jinxiu could feel that they were making eye contact in secret. I'm afraid that if it weren't for Concubine Liu Guifei here, they would have gotten together a long time ago.

Mo Yan and Mo Yu looked at each other, and just as they wanted to speak, they were stopped by Nalan Jinxiu with their eyes. Liu Guifei wanted to be quick to speak for a while, so she just let her.

Reliving a life, her biggest experience is to pretend to be stupid. She pretended not to understand, and others could see what they wanted! Anyway, these people were all in the palace, and if it weren't for special circumstances, she wouldn't have been able to see them.

Liu Guifei probably thought that after her words went out, the old lady's face would be ugly. After all, she is so young, and she is protected by Ji Hongye under her wings, what can she do, bullying her and pinching her is not easy to catch?

Who knew that the people's faces were very calm, as if they didn't understand the sarcasm in her words just now. This makes Liu Guifei unsure, I don't know if she is pretending to be confused, or if this person is just a little stupid.

"I, I've been feeling uncomfortable since I was pregnant, so I thought I could find someone in the same situation as me to talk to me, and I invited you from outside the palace, you won't be unhappy!"

Nalan Jinxiu lowered her head and replied very respectfully: "The courtiers don't dare, it is the glory of the courtiers to be favored by the mother." ”

"That being the case, you can come to the palace to accompany me every day from now on, and then go back after lunch with me. The Holy One has provided me with the best imperial cook, and the food is nutritious and delicious, and I will not wronged you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that she was a bit excessive, she was not related to her, why did she come to the palace every day to greet her! Besides, she was so heavy now, she couldn't stand such a bump.

In the palace, she needs to be cautious and take precautions everywhere, which will not benefit her at all in raising a fetus. So she stood up, saluted, and said very softly:

"The courtiers are also very kind when they see the mother. Moreover, the courtiers feel that the lady is favored by the harem, and she is known as a virtuous person in the court, so it will definitely be of great benefit to me to manage the house in the future if I can learn some from you. It's just that there is still a grandmother in the house, and I have to go over every day to ask for an waiting, so I can't have so much time with my mother, which is really a pity. ”
