Chapter 109: Concubine De
Bo Baoling helped Ling Xi to take a walk in Qingfeng Garden, and from time to time there was a sound of celebration outside the courtyard, Bo Baoling glanced at the direction of the Beigong Guan Ju Palace, and a few days ago Xiang Hong announced that Xiao Xiangxiang was the concubine, and the ladies of Dongyu were busy entering the palace to congratulate Xiao Xiangxiang these days. As a result, the gongs and drums in the Guanju Palace were constantly celebrating, and it was very lively.
Bo Baoling glanced at the unusually deserted Qingfeng Yuan again, and said with some displeasure: "It's just that she is a concubine, as for it, Concubine Xiao De is planning to make a fuss for a few days and nights, the women in Dongyu's harem are all concubines after giving birth, although Concubine Shu Niangniang was also the first concubine to give birth to a child, but Concubine Shu is a princess of Xihua Kingdom, Concubine Xiao De's background is not on the stage, and she also accepts the visit of the internal and external women in the harem with great fanfare, which is really no rules." ”
Ling Xi slowly sat in the pavilion and said lightly: "Dedicated to the princess, Concubine Xiao De is pregnant now, and she has the merit of saving the driver when she was on the southern tour, Your Majesty always treats her differently from others, Your Majesty has allowed her to accept the visit of the internal and external women in the Guanju Palace, this is the emperor's grace." ”
Bo Baoling's face was full of worry, she looked at Ling Xi's bleak and silent expression, and said unevenly: "But Niangniang, even if it is Your Majesty's permission, Concubine Xiao De will not accept such a high-profile visit from the internal and external women for several days, Niangniang, Concubine Xiao Defei is not a person who knows proportion, in the harem, only the queen can accept the worship of the wives so naturally, even Princess Zhaoqing went to congratulate Concubine Xiao De, Niangniang, you must be guarded." ”
Ling Xi lowered her head and smiled bitterly, she knew what Bo Baoling was worried about, according to Xiao Xiangxiang's grace now, Xiao Xiangxiang was pregnant again, in case Xiao Xiangxiang gave birth to a prince, they were all worried about Ling Xi and the status of the child in Ling Xi's womb.
Ling Xi unconsciously put her hand on her stomach, in fact, Qingfeng Yuan would not have been so cold, after she became pregnant, both internal and external wives also came to Qingfeng Yuan to congratulate her, but she let Aunt Yan send them away one by one, she didn't want to see these noble ladies, because of the dispute between her and Xiang Hongxuan, the untimely pregnancy and the somewhat arbitrary etiquette, she had to keep a low profile, especially when Jiang Wanfeng was still in Yicheng, only in this way Xiang Hongxuan should not be so suspicious of the Jiang family and the Ling family.
And since before the southern tour, Ling Xi has already seen Xiao Xiangxiang's methods, this woman is not simple, it is impossible to prevent it, her relationship with Xiang Hongxuan for so many years can be disintegrated by Xiao Xiangxiang in a few words, in addition to staying at home, low-key to let the harem ignore her existence, she really can't find any other way to protect the child in her belly, and maintain her relationship with Xiang Hongxuan, which is almost as thin as a cicada's wings.
Bo Baoling looked at Ling Xi, who was speechless, and seemed to feel that her words just now had made Ling Xi a little worried, and she said again: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry, you are the queen, after the hero of Dongyu, you are not a daughter who has lost the country can threaten, my prince said, in a few days, the clan relatives will play Your Majesty, and Concubine Xiao De's misbehavior will be in the name of the queen." ”
Ling Xi's brows tightened, she held Bo Baoling's hand, and said softly: "No, if you look for Xiao De at this time."
The trouble of the concubine is that if you don't give your majesty face, your majesty will be displeased, and it is not good for the king and his wife of Pingnan. ”
As soon as she heard Ling Xi mention the king of Pingnan and his wife, Bo Baoling couldn't help but worry, in fact, she entered the palace this time for Jiang Wanfeng, she whispered: "Queen Mother, it stands to reason that King Pingnan has been married for more than a month, and His Majesty has not mentioned the matter of letting King Pingnan return to Pingcheng, and the prince is very worried. ”
Ling Xi gently patted the back of Bo Baoling's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty will not stay in Yicheng forever, Pingcheng needs King Pingnan, now be the King of Pingnan and the Lord of Huaimin County for a while, it won't be long before Your Majesty will let King Pingnan go back, and after you return to Pingnan's palace, you must tell King Pingnan, don't be impatient, don't make trouble, and wait patiently for Your Majesty's holy decree." ”
Ling Xi's words were like a reassuring pill, which made Bo Baoling's heart a lot more stable, although she didn't want Jiang Wanfeng to leave Yicheng so early, but King Xian said that if Jiang Wanfeng couldn't go back to Pingcheng, his future would be over, and the Jiang family would be over.
Back then, they married Huai Min to the Jiang family, because they took a fancy to the Jiang family as the queen's family and Jiang Wanfeng's future as a young king, but if the Jiang family was finished, Huai Min would be finished. But fortunately, there is still Ling Xi, the queen, and Ling Xi's soon-to-be-born child, and now, the Xianwang Mansion has been inseparable from Ling Xi's descendants.
Bo Baoling accompanied Ling Xi to wander around the courtyard for a while, and left the palace after greeting for a while. Ling Xi looked at a pond of lotus flowers in the courtyard that had withered, a gust of autumn wind blew, the air was mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus and the noisy noise, peaceful and restless, autumn came so silently.
Aunt Yan came to Ling Xi's side, she handed Ling Xi a fan, and said, "Niangniang, the afternoon in early autumn is still a little hot, do you want to go into the house to rest." ”
Ling Xi took the fan in Aunt Yan's hand, looked at the secret door leading to the Flying Feather Hall in the courtyard, and asked, "Who is sleeping now?" ”
"After Concubine Xiao De is pregnant with you, naturally she can't sleep, Concubine Shu can't sleep because she angers Your Majesty, now it's the beauties and the female historians, as well as the Qiao Palace people take turns to sleep, but Your Majesty seems to love Xue Meiren very much, and Xue Meiren was accompanied by Xue Meiren for ten days last month." Aunt Yan replied.
Haven't you finished playing Xue Duyan's twelve nocturnes? Xiang Hongxuan is afraid that he doesn't just like Xue Duyan and her gonghou song.
Aunt Yan looked at Ling Xi, who was silent, and she said faintly: "Queen Mother, although you sent the palace concubines and foreign women who came to congratulate you, but since you became pregnant, Your Majesty has never stepped into Qingfeng Garden, even if Your Majesty asks people to send things to Niangniang every day, but the people in the palace are already speculating about the disharmony between the emperor and the queen, and the harem women go to Guanju Palace every day to congratulate Concubine Xiao De, but they can't remember Qingfeng Garden, Niangniang, Qingfeng Garden is too deserted. ”
Ling Hope looked in the direction of Guan Ju Palace, and said helplessly: "Aunt Yan, you don't understand, Your Majesty can't come, Your Majesty has too many concerns. ”
But isn't it, if Xiang Hongxuan shows that he values Ling Xi's child, then what should Xiang Minghao do? and the courtiers of the previous dynasty will do it again
Getting closer to the descendants, especially when Jiang Wanfeng was in Yicheng, I don't know when it started, there was not only a Xiao Xiangxiang between Ling Xi and Xiang Hongxuan, but also the descendants.
"The slave doesn't understand His Majesty's concerns, but the slave knows that according to His Majesty's temperament, if he wants to come, these are not reasons." Aunt Yan said lightly.
Ling Xi swayed the fan in his hand, silently turned around and walked towards the west wing, Aunt Yan looked at Ling Xi's lonely demeanor, and said, "Queen Mother, do you complain?" ”
Ling Xi stopped, flapped the fan in her hand a few times, she remembered that many years ago in the scorched earth of Jiaofang Palace, Xiang Hongxuan rushed to save her, she fell into Xiang Hongxuan's arms, even if many years later in the southern tour, she was in Xiang Hongxuan's late embrace, she could still feel Xiang Hongxuan's hot heartbeat, she smiled lightly, continued to walk towards the west wing, and whispered: "Lishan language is half a night, tears and rain will not complain." ”
....................................................................................................................
In the dim night, a woman in a black cloak quickly flashed into the backyard of Guanju Palace, Lian Yingrong had been waiting in the backyard for a long time, she took the woman through the corridor to a remote wing, along the way there was a festive sound of silk and bamboo in the front hall of Guanju Palace from time to time in the courtyard.
The woman couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the front hall, as if she was infected by this festive sound, Lian Yingrong frowned, and said in a low voice: "Come into the house quickly, Concubine De is still waiting for you, it will not be good if you are seen by others." ”
Lian Yingrong pushed open the door, the woman strode into the house, Lian Yingrong immediately closed the door and stayed outside the house, alerting the surroundings.
After the woman entered the house, she found Xiao Xiangxiang sitting at the table, and she bowed to Xiao Xiangxiang slightly. Xiao Xiangxiang looked at the woman in black who was belated, she smiled lightly, and said: "This palace has been in this Dongyu harem for a while, but I didn't know that you were also a southerner, you really hid deep enough." ”
"The slave maid was originally a Nanchang nobleman, after the destruction of the Nanchang country, the slave maid came to Yicheng with his family, and the abduction of the prince and his wife both died violently, so that we were afraid of the remnants of the old ministers, and then we lived incognito in Dongyu, but I don't want to be conscripted into the palace to be a palace maid in the end, this treatment is more than 20 years, if it weren't for my aunt to come to me, I don't remember that I am a southerner." The woman sneered.
"And now? Do you continue to want to be an obscure Dongyu harem palace person, or a southerner? Xiao Xiangxiang asked.
The woman raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xiangxiang and said lightly: "Concubine De, what do you want the slave to do, the slave is what it is." ”
Xiao Xiangxiang smiled with satisfaction and said, "I heard that after His Majesty had a dispute with the queen that day, His Majesty took the queen back to Qingfeng Garden, and His Majesty didn't leave until the imperial doctor diagnosed that the queen was fine, right?" ”
"Well, Your Majesty still cares about the queen in your heart, but there seems to be a knot between Your Majesty and the queen, otherwise it wouldn't be so long, Your Majesty wouldn't come to Qingfeng Garden to visit the queen."
"But the queen's child was born a month earlier than the child in the palace, which is too bad." Xiao Xiangxiang said resentfully.
"What do you want to do?"
"This palace wants the queen to die!"
"What?" The woman asked, surprised.
Xiao Xiangxiang looked at the surprised look of the woman in front of her, she smiled playfully, and said: "Look at you, this palace is just a joke, this palace just doesn't want to see the queen's child born, blocking the way of the palace child." ”
Saying that, Xiao Xiangxiang gently stroked her belly, she wasn't joking just now, but now Ling Xi can't die, if Ling Xi dies because of Xiang Hongxuan's child, it will fulfill Ling Xi, so that Xiang Hongxuan's heart will always remember Ling Xi, which is the last thing Xiao Xiangxiang wants to see.
"The queen has been giving birth for more than four months, and it is very difficult to make the queen abort silently." The woman said in embarrassment.
"Don't you dare, or don't you want to? If you want to be loyal to this palace, shouldn't you show some sincerity? Xiao Xiangxiang asked.
The woman was stunned, but soon there was a slight smile on her face, she took a few steps closer to Xiao Xiangxiang, and whispered: "Concubine De, the slave maid remembered an interesting thing, maybe she could use it in the matter of the queen's miscarriage, maybe she could make the emperor completely turn against her." ”
As she spoke, the woman began to whisper in Xiao Xiangxiang's ear.
